What regular expression would I use to take out all of the money (US amounts) from a string?
Right now I have:
Code:
Set RegularExpressionObject = New RegExp
With RegularExpressionObject
.Pattern = "$(.*)"
.IgnoreCase = True
.Global = True
End With
xmlText = RegularExpressionObject.Replace(xmlText,"")
Set RegularExpressionObject = Nothing
which obeously doesn't work. What should I use for:
.Pattern = "$(.*)"
??
I want to get the Structure within the 2 HTML Tags. I am not able to Get the regular expression for it. So here is the Code and could anyone give m ethe regular expression to get the HTML tags between the Code:

However, I only want to replace the newline with a <br /> tag if the newline does NOT come directly after an </h2> tag.
I cant seem to work out a regular expression to do this. So, for example.

I have been trying to run the example listed on MSDN to test a regular
expression. I'm running a win2k3 web server edition, WSH is version5.6.
I am getting an error everytime I run
Set RegEx = New RegExp
I have seen a few problems on MSDN with users not getting the right
permissions for some dll's so I went through the procedures trying to
correct that. I've seen the RegExp values in the registry. Even had a
friend of mine try the script on his machine. (mind you this comes
directly from MS) I cannot get New RegExp to work at all
I've got a page of text which I am assigning to a string. Within this
page there are special tags e.g. lots of text....<ti>dogs</ti>..lots
more text....<ti>this is a cat</ti> etc.. So I've got a long string
interspersed with these tags. Now what I need to do is get a list of
the words/phrases that are within these tags. So in my list I would
get dogs, this is a cat etc..
I've tried a combination of mid, instr and replace and got it sort of
working but there's got to be a more efficient way of doing it.
Possibly using regular expressions?
Can I use regexps in fso.DeleteFile? I've found I can use a '?' and probably a '*' (although that seems a tad brutal) but I'm having trouble with expressions like ([a-z]|[0-9]-).
Am I wasting my time trying to get it to work (i.e. does it support them?) If so, how do I use them? Does it have its own quirky syntax or "standard" regexp? Every example I've found so far just mentions deleting something simple like *.txt.
For the record, I need to "tidy up" a directory full of images by deleting files whose names _don't_ contain particular text. It's quite convoluted and would be far easier if I could just go through each file one by one but hey. Here are the details:
1) I have a list of IDs in an array that I've read from a data source. This is the "current ID" list
2) I have a list of image filenames from a directory in another array. The image filenames contain an ID in them. There could be none, one or more images containing the same ID.
3) I look at each file in turn, extract the ID portion and add it to an array of "found" IDs - crucially, this array is only updated if the ID has not been seen before in another filename
4) I then step through this array and use Filter() to see if the ID is in the "current ID" list somewhere
5) If it is missing from the list, that ID is deemed "out of date" and all associated images containing that ID need to be deleted. Message to screen saying that ID has been deleted.
6) If it is in the list, just print a message saying it is "current" and move on.
I realise I could just step through each file and test it against the current ID list but then the output on-screen would be file-by-file and not ID-by-ID. The client doesn't care how many files there are; they don't even care about the underlying structure - they just point the browser to my script and it deletes the files, shows them which IDs have been removed and tells them how many IDs in total have been deleted.
If I went down that route I would have to keep a record of which IDs I've deleted and output the lot at the end instead of 1 by 1 as I go, which leaves the browser hanging for a while and doesn't give the client reassuring feedback as it ploughs through the directory adding the results to the screen row by row. Code:
Problem: I want to check the data from a RecordSet.GetString result for today's date. If today's date exists in the row then I want to replace the preceeding <tr> tag with a <tr style='background:grey'>. I made the following objRegExp.Pattern:
.Pattern= "<tr><td><font size='1'>[w]*</font></td><td><font size='1'>[w]*</font></td><td><font size='1'>" & FormatDateTime(now(),vbShortDate)
This successfully identifies the row as containing today's date. Yea! Now, the replace part.
text = objRegExp.Replace(text,"<tr style='background:grey'><td><font size='1'></font></td><td><font size='1'></font></td><td><font size='1'>" & FormatDateTime(now(),vbShortDate))
This piece works except I lose the data that was actually contained in each cell. How can I have it so that the only thing that gets replaced is the table row tag?
I am working on an ASP page that parses text using the VBScript.RegExp
regular expression object. My reg expression right now is as follows:
[a-z]+.[a-z]+.[a-z]+/
And if find URL's no problem like: windowsupdate.microsoft.com,
www.cnn.com, etc.
But I need to also find any URL, like these:
www.amazon.com/books/atoz/index.html
OR
msdn.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.aspx
Some URL with a deeper path than something.something.com if that makes
sense. Any ideas?
I have created a template system, and someone pointed a script out that would let me create simple links by using [link]home|http://www.sitepoint.com[/link] which would convert anything between those custom tags into a link, with home being the text displayed and the web address the location.
Now I need a way to be able to edit the script, well the RE Pattern so I can use it for other things. Code:
I have a problem. Of course, or I wouldn't be posting here. Ok, now that Mr. Obvious is out of the way ...
I'm looking for some ideas. Take a look at the code below. I'm looking for the most efficient way to validate form field input on the server-side. I'll provide what I have. What I'm looking for are improvements.

Now, I'll obviously want to do more than write "error" to the screen with the validated input. What I *really* want ideas on is a more efficient way to validate the fields. In this small example doing them as one-offs isn't bad. On a form that has 20-30 fields it becomes cumbersome.
I need to strip some text from between two strings, my code looks like this:

I would like to ask how I would go about storing large amounts of text in a database for example products reviews or descriptions?
I am using MS Access Database and the text field in the table only allows a max 255 field size.
I would then like to display the text in a HTML page.
If I use a form to pass data (say, for example, through a textbox) the data seems to be limited to somewhat smaller amounts. What should I do if I want to pass a large amount of data? For example a list of 200 items?

Can anyone give me a regular expression for finding a URL in a string of
text?
Essentially what I want to do is find URLs in a text string and embed
them in {a href...} tags. However, I haven't used regular expressions
all that much in ASP/VBSCRIPT.
I need to create a regular expression for a date field that works only
in the following format MM/DD/YYYY with the / in the format. No other
format can be inputted into the field. I need 2 numbers for MM 2
Numbers for DD and 4 numbers for YYYY. If the users enter 1 number for
month, 1 for day he should get an alert.
I have this code and thought it was working but it is not.
var RegExPattern = /(d{1,2})W(d{1,2})W(d{4})/;
I have a reg exp pattern as below works fine for the string : <param name="url" value="contents/cf_intro.htm" valuetype="ref">
mObjRegExp.pattern="<param.+?value=""([^""]+)""
But the same is not working for
<param name="url" valuetype="ref" value="../fmmain/fmindex.htm"
note that, i want to capture the url that comes after value=". if the value=" comes in the second place in the html tag it works. but if it comes in the 3rd position, then it doesn't work.

View Replies View RelatedI'm going down the road of learing the pattern matching in regular
expressions, and I'm trying to convert the characters into English in my
head so I can see whats happening...
For clarity with this one...
[b]([^]]+)[/b]
Ok - the first thing I did was break it up - because it looks a nightmare
like that...so now I have..3 parts..
[b]
([^]]+)
[/b]
In part 1 I under stand that the is telling the expression that a special
character is coming next, thus escaping the [ and ] respectively, thus ,
and in part 3 I understand the same and also the escaping of the /, thus
- no problems so far...
In part 2 I'm assuming that the brackets are seperating a "pattern" so that
I might reference it as $1 later on, I understand that the [^] are saying
"not enclosed" so therefore it's going to ignore a ], the + sign however
perplexes me - my VBScript book says "Matches the preceeding character one
or more times" - so does that mean the ] just before it, or does it mean the
character OR characters defined within the [ ] etc?
looking for a regular expression example for asp in vbscript. just want to search for a name in some text, possibly display that text.
