I've got a situation where I want to get a regexp from the user and run it against a few thousand input strings. In the manual I found that the RegExp object has a .compile() method which is used to speed things up ins such cases. But why do I have to pass the regexp string to it again if I already passed them in the constructor? Perhaps...
Can someone help me build a regular expression to validate time? Valid values would be from 0:00 to 23:59. When the time is less than 10:00 it should also support one character numbers ie: these are valid values: 9:00 09:00 Thanks ...
I am trying to wrap my head around using regular expressions and replace() with JavaScript, but have not yet been successful Suppose I have a string containing this: <img alt="a picture of ..." src="image/1533?foo=1&bar=2$zot=3" width="500" /> If zot=3 I want remove foo (and its value) (or replace foo=x with an empty string).

I'm studying for a Discrete Mathematics test and I found this exercise which I can't figure out. "Build a basic finite automaton (DFA,NFA,NFA-lambda) for the language in the alphabet Sigma = {0,1,2} where the sum of the elements in the string is even AND this sum is more than 3" I have tried using Kleene's Theorem concatenating two lan...
Hello, I am trying to create a regular expression pattern in C#. The pattern can only allow for: letters numbers underscores So far I am having little luck (i'm not good at RegEx). Here is what I have tried thus far: // Create the regular expression string pattern = @"\w+_"; Regex regex = new Regex(pattern); // Compare a string a...

Hello! We are using a RegEx Validator to validate an input from a textbox. The current RegEx expression checks if the current number is between the range of 1 - 999. We just inherited this code and we need to change the range from 999 to just 365. In short, we need to write a regex to check if the input is between 1 - 365. Of course,...

Although this seems like a trivial question, I am quite sure it is not :) I need to validate names and surnames of people from all over the world. How can I do that with a regular expression? If it were only English ones I think that this would cut it: ^[a-z -']+$ However, I need to support also these cases: other punctuation symbo...
Long story short, I have two regex patterns. One pattern matches things that I want to replace, and the other pattern matches a special case of those patterns that should not be replace. For a simple example, imagine that the first one is "\{.*\}" and the second one is "\{\{.*\}\}". Then "{this}" should be replaced, but "{{this}}" should...
