Hope I can explain this one. I've got a regex for matching two words near each other. For example, if I want to find the word "account" and "number" within 5 words of each other: \baccount\W+(?:\w+\W+){1,6}?number\b This works perfectly. Now I need to find a way to search for a word as long as it is NOT within 2 words of another wor...

I'm using the following regex ^[a-zA-Z0-9\',!;\?\$\^:\\\/`\|~&\" @#%\*\{}\(\)_\+\.\s=-]{1,1000}$ I know it's ugly, but so far it serves its purpose other than the backslash not being allowed as I think it should because it's escaped, I also tried \\ instead of \\\ but same results. Any ideas? ...

Thanks! ...

So I hadn't done any regexps for a while, so I thought I'd brush up on my memory. I'm trying to convert a string like a*b*c into a<b>b</b>c. I've already gotten that working, but now I want to keep a string like a\*b\*c from turning into a\<b>b\</b>c, but rather, into a*b*c. Here's the code I'm using now: $string = preg_replace("/\...

However from what I can see, this is not possible in Apache's mod_rewrite. I have two incoming urls, each containing a key variable, which need to be rewritten to the same underlying framework acti...
