Thanks that did it.


I hate regular expressions (or maybe am in awe of their power) but you're my 
new best friend.

It uses the java replaceAll regex function so that it can do the negative 
lookbehind to ensure existing correct items are not changed, meaning it can be 
run multiple times.

Accepts any character (except newline) until it finds a closing A tag.

If newlines are required, that's just a one character change:

    '~\{(?s:(?!).)+(?)'

(Which adds the 's' flag into what was a non-capturing group, meaning '.' also 
matches newlines.)


If there's the possibly of a '~{' appearing outside this context, it may need 
extra limits applied to work correctly.

Assuming there should not be any tags inside the ~{...}~ part, I would change 
the '.' for a '[^<>]' which makes it a bit 'safer':

    '~\{(?:(?!)[^<>])+(?)'

Hm, that should work, certainly.  Did you try that 3rd option?



That should find any use of the word 'kiss' when it's surrounded by any 
non-alpha characters.  Sadly I don't have access to my CF environment right at 
the moment, so I can't test :(

Kiss is a badword, and this regexp is not picking it up.

Re: Regular Expression Help on Email Addresses

2007-02-20 Thread Ben Doom
Offhand, I think your best bet is to use a regex to identify everything 
from the @ to the TLD, then use the len returned by refind to do a 
replace of it.  There are a number of really good regexes for 
finding/dissecting emails out there.  CFLib.org is a good place to start.

RE: Regular Expression Help

2007-01-29 Thread Bobby Hartsfield
That would not match 0 through 9.999 unless they were formatted into 2
digit numbers like 00, 01, etc... 09.999 It also wouldn’t match anything
between 1 and 0 like .999 unless it was formatted like 00.999

Try this one: ^\d{0,2}(\.\d{1,7})?$

I don’t know what you are using it for but there is also the possibility of
negative numbers. The above will not match them either. You could say ... if
(regex matches number OR number LT 100) to get the negatives if it matters.

Not really sure what exactly you are looking to do, but the regular
expression pattern for numbers under 100 with 7 decimals would be:

\d{2}(\.\d{1,7})?

This makes the decimal optional (with 1 to 7 decimal places). Of course,
this does not protect AGAINST numbers over one hundred. For that you
would need to use a java-style negative look behind (not available in
standard CF RE functions):

function extractURLs(inputString) {

var lsURLs = "";
var sDelimiter = chr(9);
var nEndPos = "";
var sLink = "";
var sRegExp =
"https?:)\/\/))[-[:alnum:]\?%,\.\/&##!@:=\+~_]+[A-Za-z0-9\/])";

if(arrayLen(arguments) eq 2) {
sDelimiter = arguments[2];
}
nPos = reFindNoCase(sRegExp,inputString);
while(nPos) {
inputString =
mid(inputString,nPos,len(inputString));
nEndPos = reFind("['#chr(34)# ]",inputString);
sLink = left(inputString,nEndPos-1);
// Remove trailing slash if it exists so we don't
end up with duplicates.
if(right(sLink,1) EQ "/") {
sLink = left(sLink,len(sLink)-1);

Dave,

While you probably don't need this anymore, I thought I would post it up
here as your question inspired my blog post:

http://www.bennadel.com/blog/487-Using-Verbose-Regular-Expressions-To-Ex
plain-Url-Auto-Linking-In-ColdFusion.htm
[ OR http://bennadel.com/index.cfm?dax=blog:486.view ]

Subject: Regular Expression Help

Hi,

RegExp's are not my forte and I need to create a function that will
extract URL's from a body of text and return it in a list.

I have a function that extracts the anchor tags from a document, but I
need to acurately extract the URL from that anchor tag.  I can do a find
for 'href' and so on, but the RIGHT regular expression would make sure
all possibilities are covered like href=", href=' or href= or href = and
so on.

Can anyone help please?

Thanks!

Dave

RE: Regular Expression Help.... (Solution?)

2007-01-23 Thread Ben Nadel
Oh sorry, I didn't see the "Solution" email before I posted my last
snippet. What you are doing below is fine. I cannot attest to the RegEx.
You might want to try grabbing something of of RegExLib.com if you are
unsure. I do know you should probably check for period "." to end a URL,
but do not confuse with file extension. URLs are a tricky beast.

I think I have a solution, but if a few of you could review and see if
it can be any faster or more efficient (or if I'm missing something) I'd
appreciate it.  To find the end of the URL I'm looking for a single
quote, double quote or space.

function extractURLs(inputString) {

var sDelimiter = chr(9);
var nEndPos = "";

1000}))?)";

if(arrayLen(arguments) eq 2) {
sDelimiter = arguments[2];
}
nPos = reFindNoCase(sRegExp,inputString);
while(nPos) {
inputString = mid(inputString,nPos,len(inputString));
nEndPos = reFind("['#chr(34)# ]",inputString);
sLink = left(inputString,nEndPos-1);
if(NOT listFindNoCase(lsURLs,sLink,sDelimiter)) {

RE: Regular Expression Help....

2007-01-23 Thread Ben Nadel
Dave,

This snippet takes your regular expression and returns all matches in an
array:

http://www.bennadel.com/index.cfm?dax=snippets:11.view

You can then take that and convert it to a list (but I would guess
keeping it in an array is the way to go). 

After that, all you need is a good RegExp, which it looks like other
people have already provided.

Keep in mind, this snippet is for use with JAVA regular expression,
which are slightly different but same idea.

If all of your links are fully formed like that you don't need regexs at all
- just treat the URL as a list delimited by a forward slash ("/").

Since CF condenses multiple delimiters I think this will give you your URL:

http://www.blah.com/something/somethingelse/default.cfm " />



Using the ListGetAt() for the first part (the protocol) is important to
catch none http links like "https:" and "ftp:".

The "\1" matches the first group saved for backreferencing. I forgot the

Pascal,

  Would it be possible for you to explain a bit more about what each part of
the RegEx is doing? I'm trying to do something similar and I'm having no end
of trouble getting the RegEx right. MM documentation is pretty thin on more
advanced matching.

Thanks,

RE: Regular expression help with dictionary definitions

2004-07-13 Thread Pascal Peters
If this is the actual code you are using, you are creating an infinite
loop because you always start looking at the start position 1 in your
REFind. It will keep matching the first {}.

It really depends what you are trying to grab. If you are trying to get
only the inner parentheses it is not too hard. Now for the solution:

teststr = REReplaceNoCase(teststr,"\{([^{}]+)\}","{
href="">
>}","all");

Not tested, but it should work.

RE: Regular expression help

2004-02-17 Thread Pascal Peters

regexp = "##[[:space:]]*([0-9]{2-3})";
stTmp = REFindNoCase(regexp,str,1,true);
if(stTmp.pos[1])
	result = Mid(str,stTmp.pos[2],stTmp.len[2]);
else
	result = "";


If you need to find all, you do it in a loop: 


regexp = "##[[:space:]]*([0-9]{2-3})";
results = ArrayNew(1);
start = 1;
while(true){
	stTmp = REFindNoCase(regexp,str,start,true);
	if(stTmp.pos[1]){
		ArrayAppend(results,Mid(str,stTmp.pos[2],stTmp.len[2]));
		start = stTmp.pos[1] + stTmp.len[1];
	}
	else break;
}


Probably you want to make sure that the character after the 2-3 digits
is not a digit. If so, modify the regexp to
regexp = "##[[:space:]]*([0-9]{2-3})([^0-9]|$)";

On CFMX you could use negative lookahead:
regexp = "##\s*(\d{2,3})(?!\d)";

RE: Regular Expression Help

2002-12-06 Thread Ben Doom
I'd use
[[:punct:] ]
as the class if you only need to check spaces -- if you need vertical tabs,
carriage returns, tabs, etc. use
[[:punct:][:space:]]
which should give you something like
newstring = rereplace(string, "[[:punct:][:space:]]", "_", "all");

Of course, it might be easier (as Rob suggested) to think about what
characters you want to allow instead of disallow:

newstring = rereplace(string, "[^a-zA-Z0-9_]", "_", "all");

would only keep letters, numbers, and underscores.

reReplace(string, "[^A-Za-z0-9]", "_", "ALL") on 'some phrase' returns
'some_phrase' as expected.

reReplace(string, "[[:punct:]]|[[:space:]]", "_" "ALL") on 'some phrase'
returns '_some_phrase_' which was not expected.  The string 'some
phrase' really is just that without any extra spaces.

Either way, the first method works just fine and is probably safer.

When I use your before mention snippet, I am getting an underscore
character tacked onto the beginning and ending of each word.  There is
no space or any other character their, but after executing the regex
statement, I have underscores before and after.

[[:punct:]]|[[:space:]] on 'some phrase' returns '_some_phrase_' instead
of 'some_phrase' which is what I was looking for.

RE: Regular Expression Help

2002-12-06 Thread Jeff D. Chastain
When I use your before mention snippet, I am getting an underscore
character tacked onto the beginning and ending of each word.  There is
no space or any other character their, but after executing the regex
statement, I have underscores before and after.

[[:punct:]]|[[:space:]] on 'some phrase' returns '_some_phrase_' instead
of 'some_phrase' which is what I was looking for.

Thanks

Yeah, that's probably the safest method - anything that's NOT a letter

2002-07-09 Thread Michael Dinowitz

If you have a limited range of accepted tags then the following will probably be your 
best bet. 
1. find all of the tags you want to allow. 
2. replace their brackets with some non-standard character (like a yen symbol). 
3. remove all other tags that exist.
4. replace your yen with brackets again.

We allowed the different departments to submit formatted text using an assortment of 
HTML tags that we specified.
We used RegEx to do this, and did not notice a performace hit at all.

For what that's worth...

Subject: regular expression help


Hello,

I've got a form field in which I want to allow people to enter HTML tags
(formatted stories for the web), but only a limited set of them such as
heading, bold, and italic tags so that they don't mess up the overall
formatting of the page.

What I'd like to do is automatically strip out any other HTML tag (or
JavaScript, CSS, DHTML, etc.) from the submission but leave the safe tags.
I'm thinking that using a regular expression string to do this would be the
way to go, however there is something to consider about that idea.  The data
ends up in an NTEXT field in the SQL database which is capable of storing a
lot of data and I suspect people might be typing as much as a few pages of
text into this field.  So I'm worried that a regular expression might take
too long to parse through all the entered text.

Perhaps I'm missing something obvious here.  Anyone have any suggestions?

lWordList = ArrayToList(myarray,"|");

This will replace the words defined in myarray by empty strings.

If you want to use regular expressions to do it, easiest way would be to
use the character class for whitespace before and after your
preposition.

However don't underestimate the power of the CF list processing
functions, think of your search term as a list seperated by whitespace
and you can use any of the CF list functions.

Re: Regular Expression Help

2002-03-02 Thread Douglas Brown

just do a udf and create your array and then check that the value of the 
words you are replacing (length). If they are less than 4 char then they 
should be removed. Hope that makes sense.

Going from limited memory of the subject here, but try something like this:

[\w the|a|..] (the 'the|a|..' part would be your preposition
list...)

I think the \w means you are looking for whole words.  Or it might be \W...

Hope that helps some...

Hello all.  I am trying to write a simple search engine, and would like
to replace certain commonly used prepositions from the search string
such as 'a','the','for', etc...

I have an array of the prepositions that I would like to remove, however
the problem I have is that it is removing them when they are subsets of

'bag' would become 'bg' when removing 'a', etc...

I'm not an expert at regular expression, but I'm assuming it is possible

It is pretty easy with normal functions (see http://www.cflib.org/) in 
CF. I don't think it is possible purely with regular expressions.
But even if I could tell you I wouldn't because I prefer te be able 
spell my own name correctly ;)

RE: Regular expression help

2002-01-16 Thread James Ang

Use the UDF: capFirstTitle()
http://www.cflib.org/udf.cfm?ID=116

For your purpose, CF RegExp won't do it as well as what Ed Hodder
implemented with his UDF.

But, FYI, REFind() and REFindNoCase() can return subexpressions.

Example:
Variables.sttREFind = REFind("[[:graph:]]+", Variables.strName, 1,
true);
If (Variables.sttREFind.pos[1] GT 0) {
Variables.strFirstWord = Mid(Variables.strName,
Variables.sttREFind.pos[1], Variables.sttREFind.len[1]);
} else { // nothing found
Variables.strFirstWord = "";
}

See how messy this can get? The UDF has a much more elegant solution, in
my opinion. :)

Of course, RegExp has its uses. In your case, it isn't the most optimal
solution.

I'm having problems finding ways of detecting/converting case using
CF regexes too (doing tags to lowercase for XHTML markup).

>From what I've gathered, Perl regexes can do this but CF can't. Bah.
There is a Perl-compatible regex parsing extension tag for
CF Server at ,
but I've not bothered with this. I'm plodding along with loops and
substring extraction fiddliness.

Of course all I'm doing is LCase() to certain substrings. Shame there's
no Capitalise() CF function. There is something similar at
, might be of use to you. You
could LCase() the whole string, then run it through this UDF. Imagine
you could stick a workaround in for hyphenated names too!

Let me know if you find any regex solution for dealing with case
like this...

The code I'm doing now is actually in JS, but I'm having a
general CF/JS regular expression learning binge, and I've hit
a brick wall - can anyone help?!

Best example of the problem is this:

string = string.replace(/]*>[^(<\/HEAD>)]*<\/HEAD>/gi,'');

I want this to strip any  tags - and *anything* in
between them. The middle bit is the problem - how do I
match "zero or more characters up to the point where you
find "? Putting  in parentheses and negating
it with a carat seems to only work if there are no characters
between in tags that appear in "". So

12345678

will be stripped out fine, but

1234567d

gets left in. I know I must be just missing one control character,
or have one in the wrong spot, but no reference material I've
got seems to point it out. Anyone got any hints?

cheers,

Try using
)[[:print:]]*()","","all")>

That should find anything with a beginning of  and an ending of 
 and strip them out and any printable character in between with an 
empty string. I'm not sitting at a coldfusion enabled server, so I can't 
verify, but it should be that, or very close to it.

You could just find the first head, store the position, find the next head, 
store the position, and then just use mid(string,pos+6,pos-1) to strip the 
middle out

maybe there is a more efficient way

Re: Regular Expression Help

I find that:

   [0-9]

is clearer and easier to type than:

   [:digit:]

of course, I'd rather have:

   \d

I do very well without ever using the posix-style.

Re: Regular Expression Help

2001-07-27 Thread eric . laney


Being a Perl programmer also, this is one of the things that really
frustrates me about CF's regular expressions.

Okay, so back in the day, Allaire decided to go with POSIX-style character
classes.  That still doesn't explain to me why you have to put the extra
square brackets in there, and it doesn't explain why I can't write:
[:digit:]{3}-?[:digit:]{4}   to describe a US-style telephone number
without an area code.  I work with three different software packages that
all support "regular expressions", but there's nothing "regular" about
them.  They all use different notations, they all have quirks, and I still
have to look it up in order to remember which "regular" expression I'm
using.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I haven't been able to take my knowledge
of regexp that I learned from Perl and apply it to CF with any semblance of
consistency.

John,

Your assumption is correct. The part that may have confused you originally
is that POSIX-style character classes (ie, [:punct:]) are surrounded by
brackets and colons, in addition to the bracket set that defines the entire
character class, such as [[:alpha:][:punct:][:cntrl:]] etc...

Numeric charcter classes are special in that you can use a hyphen for any
range of numbers, such as [0-9], [0-3], [3-7], etc. which emcompass every
number in that specific range.

Yeah, square brackets define a class to match against, and clasess are or'ed
together.
[^ ] would match everything that wasnt a space too.

want to search for can be added by placing the definition inside another

REFindNoCase("[[:Alpha:][0-3][ ][:Punct:]]", myString)

Re: Regular Expression Help

2001-07-26 Thread Dain Anderson

John,

You almost had it (too many brackets):


 Alpha characters or punctuation were found.

 No alpha characters or punctuation found.


If you need to get the position of the first occurance of these characters,
use subexpressions:








 Characters found at position: #something.pos[1]#


 No alpha characters or punctuation found.

Try this:

That should return the string;

This works.



#mid(theString,st.pos[3],st.len[3])#


The two pieces are:

1) Creating the regularExpression

2) understanding the use of the "return subexpressions" attribute of reFind;
check the documentation.  I learned something just now about using it with a
paren-ed regular expression.

Re: Regular expression Help

2001-03-23 Thread Larry W. Virden

Re: use of regular expressions for parsing html

One can reliably use regular expressions to parse html if it is 
html that you have direct and full editorial control over.
That is, if you hand edit the html, AND you can keep all your 
requirements in mind, then you can use with some success regular 
expressions to parse html.

Otherwise, if you are trying to parse pages from the net, you can 
be pretty certain to run into serious stumbling blocks (ie the 
perverse things people and applications do in the name of writing 
or generating html).

For instance, if I knew that the meta tag would _always_ be the 
format you described, I use a regular expression like
content="([^">]*)"
and know that the stuff between the parens would be what I 
wanted.

However, I see html all the time that adds newlines arbitrarily 
at white space... which means that you have to somehow make 
certain that you know where to stop parsing...

RE: Regular expression help

2001-03-15 Thread Douglas Malcolm

Leaves table tags in:

([[:alpha:]]|[[:s
pace:]]|[[:punct:]])+','')#>


Removes table tags:

([[:alpha:]]|[[:s
pace:]]|[[:punct:]])+','')#>


Note that the default attribute for scope is "one", so the above snippet
will only remove the first instance it finds of table tags.  Change the
scope to "all" if you want them all gone.

Of course, if you only want one very specific table tag set to be removed,
you'll have to find it another way (adding some other unique text for the
regexp to look for).

On Fri, 23 Feb 2001 10:33:10 +1300, in cf-talk you wrote:

Yeah, of course it is ;)

Yeah, that's a good idea. I'll use
([^a-zA-Z0-9])application.([a-zA-z<]) instead, though, since
"application." is often the end of the sentence in the text of the
website, and it's sometimes followed by a tag.

I'm still curious about the regex, though, since I'm trying to learn
regexes. Although I will use the above method for now, I would like to
ask any experts on the subject if they could slap a single regex
together for me. It doesn't need to replace anything, but I'm very
curious about the matching regex--how do you exclude a certain string
("cfm"), a space (" "), AND a "<" from matching (see my original
question below).

If you care to refer to the book, "Mastering Regular Expressions," I
have it. 

Thanks for indulging me,
Jamie
