RegExp Question
Premise: Inserting data into a database form a <textarea> and
displaying this data through an HTML page.
When inserting data into a database via a text area and then displaying
this data any carriage return that was entered into the database was
lost. I Created a function to replace a carriage return with a <BR>. I
call this function when I display this data.
If I enter text inside <> into a database and then display this data,
any text that was within the <> is lost because it is considered an
HTML tag. How can I search the string for the brackets and actually
diplay them? I do not want to use Server.HTMLEncode before I insert the
data into the database. This is because we often query the database
from outside a web browser.
Here is my function I have for the carriage return. I need to figure
out how to accomplish this for both < and >. I am sure this is simple
but I do not know what the .pattern should be (for a carriage return it
is "
".
SET regQuote = New RegExp
regQuote.pattern = "
"
regQuote.global = True
catchCR = regQuote.Replace(strText, "<br>")

why the following code incorrectly returns 2 as matches count whereas when I change str = "179,80,179,80,179" I get the correct count which is 3?
str = "179,179,179"
num = 179
Set regEx = New RegExp
regEx.Global = true
regEx.IgnoreCase = True
regEx.Pattern = "(^|,)" & num & "($|,)"
Set colMatches = regEx.Execute(str)
response.write colMatches.Count & "<BR>"

I have a string which is an html document - I want to eliminate all the <script>blah blah</script> tags. I can't seem to get the regexp pattern right. Here's where I've got to:Code:
Set oReg = New RegExp
oReg.IgnoreCase = True
oReg.Pattern = "(<script[.
]*</script>)"
Set oMatches = oReg.Execute(sHTML)
For Each oMatch In oMatches
sHTML = Replace(sHTML, oMatch.Value, "")
Next

I am trying to write an asp(vbscript) parser for wiki-style pseudo code, and
can't get my head round regexp.
I am hoping if somebody could give me an example to work on for one, I could
sort the others.
e.g. how do you turn (from within a large string, with varying occurences)
.......[image:/mydir/pics/my portrait.jpg | A picture of me]......
into
......<img src="/mydir/pics/my%20portrait.jpg " alt="A picture of me">.....

I'm struggling trying to get the concepts of the regExp function down....
What i'm trying to achieve is to remove all white space from html formatted
source code.
I have the following regExp search string to remove all html source code but
that is not what i require.. RegExp.Pattern = "<.*?>"
I want to store all html source code and its text/image contents into a DB.
For that reason i want to remove all line breaks and spacing/tabs within the
source code so as to only have one exteremely long single line leaving the
formatting of the contents of the html code alone all so that i can stuff
into a varchar(MAX) field.

I have a bit of code that replaces all links in my forums with hyperlinks. I'd like to add [url=www.sitehere.com]Link[/url] BB Code links to my forums. This is difficult to word, but how do you specify for RegExp to skip links if they are in [url] tags.

I have some code working with Regular Expressions and it works right on my server (W2K Server), but doesn't work on all IIS 5 servers. I originally thought that the servers just didn't have the RegExp object, but a testing script shows that the problem is in the replace statement. Code:

I'm not so familiar with ASP, so don't shoot me if this one's easy. I have to redesign the front of a Belgian hosting company. On that front they have a domain check like this:
Input field (domain without extension)
Hidden fields with populair basic extensions
(<input type=hidden name=ext value=be> <input type=hidden name=ext value=com> ...)
Submit button What I want now when the the user submits this form is that IF he adds an extension in the first field (which is not required), the script also checks if that extension is available. Code:

I just realized that it's so important to validate each string, I mean
'each' before you insert data from asp page into database.
I guess some customers just copy data from some electronic document and
paste intoform field which it will probably mess up the program.
for example, we have a customer who wants to enter AH12345 into one of our
fields, it appears Ð?Ð?12345 in hidden field of our asp page, but it displayed
AH12345 to the customer, but our program failed because of the data does fit
into char field in sql database.
I don't know in reality, how other companies deal with those kind of thing.
Do I have write our own regExp to validate each string, since we do need to
allow apostrophe or "-" in first name or last name.

is it possible (i heard u can replace) to filter out bad words using regexp? I'm using Replace() but it sucks without ALOT of extra code... but using regexp it seems better, with ignorecase, etc.
How would I do it? O, here's the way it is now:
<%= Decode(ChkBadWrds("Comment")))%>
How would I do something similar using regexp?

Some one has kindly supplyed me with this regexp to check all UK post codes:
/^([Gg][Ii][Rr] 0[Aa]{2})|((([A-Za-z][0-9]{1,2})|(([A-Za-z][A-Ha-hJ-Yj-y][0-9]{1,2})|(([A-Za-z][0-9][A-Za-z])|([A-Za-z][A-Ha-hJ-Yj-y][0-9]?[A-Za-z])))) [0-9][A-Za-z]{2})$/
The trouble is it looks for a space in the middle and i DONT want a space.I can't see the bit that does this

I need to truncate a news article to only show a certain number of characters on the front page. the news articles often contain html and the characters in the html are being counted. So, even though I want the text to be truncated at, say, 350 characters, the final result on the page looks like it's been truncated way further up, because the text of the html added to the character count.
here's the code i'm using to truncate
URLFunction ChopLastWord( Line, Length )
If Len(Line) < Length Then
ChopLastWord = Line
Exit Function
End If
Dim spaceat
spaceat = InStrRev( Line, " ", Length )
If spaceat < Length-20 Then spaceat = Length ' value of 20 is arbitrary
ChopLastWord = Left( Line, spaceat ) & "..."
End Function

I'm trying to solve three minor problems with vbscript REGEXP.
1) I want to find any occurences of and|or|not in a string and capitalize them.
regEx.Pattern = "(s)(and|or|not)(s)"
KW = trim(regEx.Replace(KW, "$1" & ucase("$2") & "$3"))
how come this is not working?
2) when highlighting words (in a search results page for example), I want to match the word ignoring case. however, when wrapping the word in highlighting code and replacing the substring, I want to keep the original capitalization.
regEx.Pattern = "(^|s|[^a-z0-9])" & highlitetemp(iTemp) & "(s|$|[^a-z0-9])"
Body = trim(regEx.Replace(Body, "$1<span class=highlite>" & highlitetemp(iTemp) & "</span>$2"))
for example, if the word to match is marvelous, but the word is stored uppercase in the db, the above code will replace the word with a lowercase version. how do I get around this?
3) I want to remove any and|or that are not inside double quotes in a string. for example,
test = """The dog and the cat""" & " and fox or mouse " & """the cat and the dog"""
resulting in "The dog and the cat" and fox or mouse "the cat and the dog"
I would like to remove only the AND OR linking fox and mouse in the middle of the string. how would I do that?

I have used:
set typ = server.createobject("Scriptlet.TypeLib")
to create a random string of 36 characters. However, is there a way to
create a random string of digits in the length I request? Perhaps a string
of 20 digits with a few asterisks thrown in for ease of typing?
for example:
4515-81301-75454-45136-1
Would this be reated with RegExp? And how?
