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?
Thanks,

Regular Expression Question
If I want to do a regular expression replace to remove several (but not all HTML tags) what is the syntax that I should use. I want the expresion to find, for example, the '' tag regardless of what is in the middle. I've tried this ","","ALL")> but that doesn't seem to work. Any suggestions? Thanks for your help Daron J.

RE: Regular expression question
Add the 3rd and 4th optional args - the 3rd arg, where to start, should
be set to 1, and the 4th, is a boolean that specifies if you want the
matched expressions returned. You will get a struct of two arrays, pos
and len, where pos[x] and len[x] is the position and length of the Xth
matched subexpression.

Or, if you prefer to simply return the matched bit in string form, you can
do what I do (being a perlish kinda guy):
newstring = rereplace(string,
".*(whatever(yes you can use internal groupings) blah).*", "\1");
Probably a lot less efficient than Ray's refind, but to my mind it makes a
lot more sense.

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.
HTH.

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

Quick Regular Expression Question.
Hello all. I use the following to regular _expression_ to validate zipcodes. When a customer inputs a 9 digit zip code WITHOUT the hyphen, no error is set. (i.e. 902101444) How would I modify this to incorporate a mandatory hyphen when a 9 digit zip code is inputed and still work for all other zip codes?

Re: regular expression question
'(word1 |word2 |word3 ){2,}
Word 1, 2 and 3 are all words in a sub expression. Each has a space after it.
The RegEx is looking for any 2 or more of these in a row.

RE: Another regular expression question
using a ^ says "not one of these" and using [] says group these together
how about saying if you find something that is not a number or a letter:
ERROR
do processing
what you said is:
find 0 or more alpha chars and 0 or more digits next to it
which works with any string on the planet!
I hope this helps!

Re: Quick Regular Expression Question.
Currently, you have:
^[[:digit:]]{5}(( |-)?[[:digit:]]{4})?$
( |-) represents a space or hypen. If you just want a hypen, you don't
need the parens, space, or pipe.
( |-)? means that the space or hypen is optional.
So, if you want to force a hypen for 9-digit zipcodes, you would want
^[[:digit:]]{5}(-[[:digit:]]{4})?$

RE: another quick regular expression question
Hi List,
I've had a few requests off-list for the code on how I print
out pages through Word. I'll go ahead and post it for everyone's
benefit. Please feel free to write me on or off list if you have any
problems.
To start, you need to have Word installed on your CF server for this
unless you use DCOM - I'm not familiar with DCOM so this is what I have:
This is used best when you have output pages that change significantly
from user to user. See below if you need to do something along the
lines of a mail merge document.
First, I generate the HTML page on the fly as if it were being output to
the browser and store it in the variable 'page':
Next, I write it to a file:
Next, I open it up in Word via CFOBJECT - COM and print it out.
objDoc = objWord.Documents;
newDoc =
objDoc.open("C:\inetpub\web_documents\output.htm"); // Your filename
goes here
switch (form.printer) {// If you have multiple
printer you want to print to.
case 1: {objWord.ActivePrinter = "HP
LaserJet 1200 Series PCL"; break;} // Local printer
case 2: {objWord.ActivePrinter =
"\\lana\HP LaserJet 4050 Series PCL"; break;}}//
Network pr.
po = newDoc.PageSetup; // Get the page
setup object
po.Orientation = 1; // Set orientation
to landscape. Omit for normal.
po.TopMargin = 36; // Set margins -
this Is not necessary
po.BottomMargin = 36;
po.LeftMargin = 36;
po.RightMargin = 36;
newDoc.PrintOut(); // Print the
document
newDoc.Close(); // Close the Document
newDoc.Close(); //
Catch errors and close the document and application if caught
objWord.Quit();
I leave the application (Word) open because if it closes before the
printing is done, then a dialog box pops up on the server and it must be
attended to before the printing continues. I don't think that Office XP
has this problem but I use 2000.
I think that if you have a template that you want to print to - like
form letters or anything where only the same amount of information
changes - you might be better off writing a word document that prints
them out from a mail merge document, then call that document to print:
First, make up a table that will contain the information that you want
to have printed on the name badges, then store that information in the
table.
Make up a mail merge document that uses that table as the datasource and
will print the document out as you like.
Next, record a word macro that follows your steps through the population
of the fields and the printout of the merged document.
Save all of this and then use the following code to open your document
and print it out:
objDoc = objWord.Documents;
newDoc =
objDoc.open("C:\inetpub\web_documents\mergedocument.doc");
switch (form.printer) {
case 1:
{objWord.ActivePrinter = "HP LaserJet 1200 Series PCL"; break;}
case 2:
{objWord.ActivePrinter = "\\lana\HP LaserJet 4050 Series PCL"; break;}}
objWord.Run("Macroname");
newDoc.Close();
// newDoc.Close();
objWord.Quit();
It takes a bit of work but it does work well.
Write back if you have any questions.

RE: another quick regular expression question
This is incorrect. the regexp below will match "hello world". Try
running the code below
#ReFindNoCase("[ ]*hel[ ]*lo[ ]*wo[ ]*rld"," Hello
World")#
For the original question:
<[ ]*title[ ]*>([^<]*)
this will match your title if there is no < in the title.
The expression "<[ ]*title[ ]*>(.*)" will match the
title if you have only ONE tag. If you have more, it will match
everything from the first to the last

RE: another quick regular expression question
1. You only need the brackets for the subexpression if you want to do something with
it. (Like isolating the title or eliminating the tags with back referencing).
Otherwise, you can drop them. It's not a problem if you leave them there.
2. I dont really see why your first one didn't match untitled. It was a
little weard because it wouldn't match a title like Hello there because
of the space between Hello & there.
I think what you wanted to write was <[ ]*title[ ]*>[ [:alnum:][:punct:]]*.
This would have the same problems as "<[ ]*title[ ]*>(.*)" . It would
match two or more title tags as one string (see my original message).
PS I don't know where you get your regex examples from, but there is a ppt on
houseoffusion (http://www.houseoffusion.com/RegEx.ppt) and one on cfugorama
(http://www.cfugorama.com/cfugorama/codelibrary/Regular-Expressions.cfm)
Hope that helps
