Regular Expression
I want to do a regular expression validation on a form field (city).
However, I'm rather unfamiliar with regular expressions.
How would I rewrite the expression so that it will allow a "-" and a
space.
For Example: "Wilkes-Barre" or "Los Angeles" would be accepted.
I can't seem to find anything on CFLib which would allow me to accept
"-" and "spaces"
This is what I have so far:
REFindNoCase("[^a-z0-9]", str)
Thanks,
Mark

Regular Expression Help
I am trying to use a regular expression to change all possible special
characters in a string to underscores because I am trying to use the
string as a variable name.
Regular expressions are not my specialty and I am running into problems
using some characters in my reReplace function.
Could somebody offer some suggestions on making this work?
I am needing to replace !@#$%^&*()-+={[}]|\:;"'<,>.?/ plus a blank
space, all with the _ character.
Thanks

Regular expression question
Is there a way to return just the string that a REFind matches? I'm trying
to pull an email address out of a block of text. I can find the beginning
using this:
REFindNoCase("['_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*\.(([a-z
]{2,3})|(aero|coop|info|museum|name))",BlockOfText)
But I don't see how to match the end. It seems like I need to return the
"\1" back reference, but how?

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.

The I can get the From Email from both lines, but believe this is definitely
not an optimal RegEx for the "From" part. Anybody have suggestions as to how
to improve.

What regular _expression_ would find a "#" followed by any number of blanks, followed by 2-3 numbers For example, I want to return 45 from this string: Testing this string # 45 to 46 Andy [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]
Re: Regular Expression
The expression [^a-z0-9] means match any character that is NOT a-z or 0-9. That will
return only special characters. You probably want
REFindNoCase("^[- a-z0-9]*$", str)
This will return 1 if the following happens.
at the start of the string (the carat) look for a dash, a space or any character of
a-z or 0-9. Match as many of these as you can until the end of the string (the dollar
sign).
"New York" - N is the first character at the start of the string. There are only
letters and a space. The k is the last character in the string. The function will
return 1 (success).
"Wilkes-Barre" - W is the first character of the string. There are only letters and a
dash. e is the last character in the string. The function will return 1 (success)
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" - m is the first character in the string. There is an at
sign in the string. The function will return 0 (failure).
There's a tutorial on RegEx at www.houseoffusion.com on the front page.

Re: Regular Expression
Pardon me for being naive but isnt it a lot easier to just combine regex and
regular find trying to match a substring like this?
hasmax="unknown":
st=refindnocase("<[ ]*cfmodule[^>]*>",whatever,1,"yes");
//grab the tag
if (st.pos[1] GT 0){
sub=mid(whatever,st.pos[1],st.len[1]);
if (findnocase("MAXHSIZE",sub) hasmax="Yes";
else hasmax="No";
}
If find regex invaluable but sometimes combining with a plain old find makes
my life simpler.

Very, very true. There's more than one way to do it. Personally, I'd have done it with a Perl one-liner and the File::Recurse module. But, if all you want to do is paste the regex into CFStudio and have it do a recursive find then programming isn't really an option. Of course, the counter point is that in the time it took for us to respond, Harry could have programmed something anyway. Counter counter: other people on the list may have similar needs, and posting a simple solution (like a single regex) may enlighten them. -R ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

Re: Regular Expression
True, I hadn't thought about a non programatic solution I guess because if that were the case I would probably just do a rough regex to get the right modules and then visually inpect them.

If i had that i could just convert it to a posix regex and be perfect instead of guessing about/testing exactly what isDate() will and won't accept. thanks in advance, Ken - Ken Beard Manager, Application Development Stone Ground Solutions 5100 West Kennedy Blvd, Suite 430 Tampa FL 33602 813.387.1235 voice 866.767.4051 toll free 813.387.1237 fax www.stoneground.com ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

Help! I want to do a find for a text expression, which is to be followed on the next line by another text expression. Only, the amount of whitespace (indentation) after the carriage return varies. Can I do this with regular expressions? In other words the text i am looking for is like this: where the whitespace seems to be throwing off the global find. Thanks in advance.

Regular Expression Help
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 other words, for example 'them' would become 'm' when removing 'the', 'bag' would become 'bg' when removing 'a', etc... I'm not an expert at regular expression, but I'm assuming it is possible to remove only those instances where the prepositions are stand-alone and not subsets of other words. Could someone render me some assistance? Much thanks, Jared __ Why Share?

I want to return My Message Here.

If the string is not single quoted as in: this is samp'le data to in'sert you can just use the "replace" function like so: If the string IS quoted as in: 'this is samp'le data to in'sert' you can just add the following: In other words, replace all single quotes with two single quotes (the Replace() function), then give me the entire string minus the first and last characters (the Mid() function). This will create double single quotes at the beginning and end, then immediately eliminate them. You might also want to Trim() the strings before processing them if you're unsure of the input.

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

RE: Regular Expression Help
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
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. -Original Message- From: Joshua Miller [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, December 06, 2002 12:30 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Regular Expression Help Did you TRIM the variable first?

RE: Regular Expression Help
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.

RE: Regular expression question
Hmm. I like this more-concise method, but I only get the last character of
the user ID rather than the full user ID. For example, I use this...
REReplace(Target,".*(['_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*\
(([a-z]{2,3})|(aero|coop|info|museum|name))).*", "\1")
..on "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" and I get "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". Obviously, I'm rusty with RegEx
but I seem to recall something about "greedy" RegEx pattern matching. Is
this maybe the cause?

RE: Regular expression question
Yes, it's the greedy match that's getting you -- I didn't think about that.
If you can classify the char that preceeds the email address (i.e. it's a
space or punctuation or either) then you can simply follow the .* with that
char or char class. However, if the email can come at the beginning of the
string, you'll have a problem.

Is there a way to return just the string that a REFind matches? I'm trying
to pull an email address out of a block of text. I can find the beginning
using this:
REFindNoCase("['_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*\.(([a-z

Mark, I am fairly new to RegEx, but I can tell you we did this on our University's site when I was in college.

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.

Re: regular expression help
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. > 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.

Re: Regular Expression Help
Application.cfm files are great for saving on coding and site management and stuff, but when you have sub folders that need their own Application.cfm files, they become less convenient as you have to make sure to include any needed code from the Application.cfms above them.

First, treat the log file as a Chr(13) delimited list, that will
break the log into individual messages. Then, if you only use
canonical email addresses, it should be as simple as:

Jochem,
that helps, I now get "John Noone <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" but I also need to
extract the actual email address from between the "<>" also they are
optional.

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)";

Regular Expression cheat please?
I have looked at the manuals for regular expression help, but I am still mystified as to how to accomplish a simple character stripping. I have a string, ex. "hello i have spaces, and punctuation." that I want everything but alpha numeric characters stripped from it and spaces converted to underscores so that it would return "hello_i_have_spaces_and_punctuation" If someone could please post the appropriate syntax for REReplace, I would be most thankful. It would save me headaches!

Another regular expression question
Hi,
Yes, I'm a newbie :) but it's a short question:
How can I check if an string contains alpha-numeric characters only?
I'm trying to check if a login name (given by the user) is valid or not.
I'm using something like:
#REFindNoCase('[[:alpha]]*|[[:digit]]*',attributes.usuario)# but it doesn't
work.
BTW, some links of POSIX regular expression are welcome.
thanks in advance
