I'll let someone else help with regex, but my comment from the peanut
gallery: This smells like something you may be able to easily do using
jQuery and let the client side manage this.

Regex question

[Matthew Allen]

I have a body of text as below:

"body body body bodybodybody bodybody body body  body body body
body body body bodybody body body body 
body"

Is it possible to change the reference-link tag from a reference link tag  
 to a superscript as so 1, 
basically getting the value of the id attribute of the reference link tag and 
creating a superscript tag with the value.

Many thanks,

Matt

Re: RegEx Question

[Peter Boughton]

Not only can you do it with jQuery, you /should/ do it with jQuery (or equiv).

Regex is not built for HTML parsing, and there are many reasons why it wont 
work correctly when you try. Rather than worry about numerous edge cases, use a 
tool designed for the job from the start.

You could actually do this with jquery quite easily should you want to do it

$('a[href*=pdf]').click(function(){

RegEx Question

[Duane Boudreau]

Hi All,

First time posting in a very long time.

I'm stuck on a RegEx problem that I can't wrap my head around. I need to have a 
block of html and I need to add target="_blank" to any hyperlink that has a pdf 
link in it. Any suggestions?

Here is the match string I tried so far but I don't think I'm even close.

"]*href=['\\\"]( (?i:)(?:jpg|gif|doc|pdf)$*)"

If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.

TIA,
Duane

RE: Regex Question

[Jason Fisher]

Yep, that'll work.  Of course, listGetAt(cgi.path_info, 1, "/") is the same 
as listFirst(cgi.path_info, "/"), so just passing the integer is a nice 
solution:


returnVar = listGetAt(arguments.path_info, arguments.index, "/");

Great. That will work for what I want. 

I want to be able to pass the cgi.path_info to a CFC and pass a digit so 
the CFC could extract the part of the string I want to do a query... I'm 
using long URLs to pass variables more and more these days, as opposed to

Robert,

How about treating CGI.path_info as a list, using "/" as your 
delimiter.  Then you can use the various list* functions in CF to parse 
it however you want.

Regex Question

[Robert Harrison]

Regex is not my strong suit,  but someone may know this off the top of their 
head.   If I have a long url like: 

http://www.mysite.com/item1/option2/part3/section4

I can use cgi.path_info to get the /item1/option2/part3/section4  part of the 
string. 

Now is there an easy regex that could let me get the 

item1
option2
part3
section4

parts of the string easily? 

I'd assume there could just be one regex statement where you could just change 
the number(s) to get data from first / to second /; data from second / to third 
/, etc. 

Any ideas?

Re: Quick Regex Question

Robert,

Actually, the underscore is counted as an alphanumeric in regular
expressions. Try just replacing \W with nothing and see what you get.

Quick Regex Question

[Robert Harrison]

I have the regex statement - ReReplace(new_dir,"\W","","all")

That removes all non-alphanumeric characters from a sting.

If I want to remove all non-alphanumeric characters except the underscore, is 
that:ReReplace(new_dir,"\W/_","","all") or ?

Thanks

Thank you Ian, adding the forward slash[/]  character in two places 
solved this nicely!

rereplace(links,'(href=")/([^"]*")','\1http://www.cdpr.ca.gov/\2','ALL')

Regex question

[Ian Skinner]

  I need to turn some relative links into absolute links in a string.

I have this rereplace() working well to do that.

rereplace(links,'(href=")([^"]*")','\1http://www.cdpr.ca.gov\2','ALL')

But there is one link in the string that is already absolute going to a 
different domain.  Is there an easy way to filter it out?  This replace 
will happily prepend the above domain in front of the other domain in 
the absolute link.

TIA
Ian

Re: Simple regex question

[Peter Boughton]

In CF regex, \w is same as [a-zA-Z0-9_]

Most other regex flavours are the same as this.

Some regex flavours also include accented characters (áéí...) in their \w 
matches.

Re: Simple regex question

[Rick Mason]

Azadi,

Figured that out while awaiting for the answer.  Reached John and Tim Farrar
via IM who suggested testing with smaller case letters.  Once we confirmed
that worked they gave me the update.  I will do further testing but that
looks like it is a winner.

Thanks all,


Rick

\w should handle both alpha and numeric data. I am not sure why mine was

it only fails because Andy's regexp does not allow uppercase letters.

Re: Simple regex question

Andy,

I jumped the gun a little too quickly.  Neither yours nor Ben's works.  Your
code worked fine when I was just typing in numbers for a quick test.

Once I started testing with actual VIN numbers it failed.  It isn't counting
the letters in the total count.  So 12345678901234567 succeeds but
1M345678901234567 fails.

Any suggestions?

RE: Simple regex question

[Andy Matthews]

Ben...

VIN numbers are unique identifiers for cars. Generally there's a small metal
plaque on the driver side part of the dashboard, tucked way back under the
windshield. It's a fascinating number, as each set of digits have very
specific meanings. You can almost everything about a vehicle from the VIN.

Re: Simple regex question

[Rick Mason]

Thanks you Andy and Ben for your quick response.  A VIN number is a vehicle
identification number which is on your car's registration as well as being
on the driver side dash.

Think of it as a unique serial number for your car with vehicle information
baked into the number.

Andy the only problem that I had with your regex is that it let me enter
more than 17 characters.  I quickly added a maxlength which corrected the
problem.

There's a ISVIN function on CFLib and I had originally proposed to my boss
that I rewrite it in javascript but he didn't want that level of
functionality.

RE: Simple regex question

[Andy Matthews]

Technically speaking, the regex that Ben or I posted isn't correct. You
can't just have 17 alnum characters as each character (or character pairs)
in a VIN has a specific slot. Plus, VINs don't have the letters I, O, or Q.

Here's an excellent forum post about the subject.

http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=217075.0

It all just depends on how accurate you need to be.

To match the last dash and everything after it, you want:
-[^-]*$

So to use that to strip of that segment of the string, just do:
dashless = rereplace( dashed , '-[^-]*$' , '' )

Sonny, thanks for the help! 

I could't make that regex work for my particular problem. Probably because I 
didn't explain it well enough. It looks like it's matching if there's any 
spacing before characters on any line. 

I need to check a chunk of text and make sure it contains SOME kinda characters 
on the first line. There cannot be any empty spacing on the first line 
(c.returns,linefeeds, spaces, tabs, etc. 

The rest of the chunk can contain whatever, I don't care. 

My regex works, I just don't understand why I have to stick a \S in that 2nd 
range []. 

Thanks!

Will

Re: Regex question

[Sonny Savage]

I, for one, am having trouble understanding what you're trying to
accomplish.  I could probably help you if I understood the purpose/goal of
your regular expression.

Assuming that you have this content loaded into a variable, you're not
reading a line at a time from a file, and you're wanting to find new lines
and leading white-space I'd search like this (also matches white-space at
the beginning and end of the file and at the end of a line):
((^|\s*[\r\n]+)\s|\s+$)

Disclaimer: I haven't tested the regex, but it should work as advertised.

Let's say I've got a chunk of source code like so:



  
   
Username

   
 
etc... 

So it can have almost any kind of character in it. 

Now, let's say I want to check the beginning for whatever, in this case, I want 
a match if it has a newline or carriage return at the beginning. 

(?i)^[\r\s]+[.\r\s\S]*

With this regex i'm trying to say, look for the newline/tab/c.return at the 
start of the text, and allow ANYthing afterwards. I don't care what comes 
after, allow it. 

My problem is understanding the \S (non whitespace) in the 2nd []. If I remove 
it, I don't have a match. if I include it,I DO have a match. What is in that 
chunk of text that isn't being matched, that .\r\s won't match. 

What's the best way to say look, I don't care what comes AFTER this specific 
piece of the regex that matches. Allow EVERYthing.

Make sense?

Thanks,
Will

In addition to Ben's comment, it doesn't look like you're finding the
beginning of the src attribute, see: 

]+ and then straight into the regex for the url ... so there's no
mention of src=" ... there's also no allowance for the protocol (https?://)
and the : in (?:jpg| seems erroneous... 

I might suggest a slightly different "tac" ... instead of trying to get
it with one expression, how about this? 

]+>).*$","\1")>
","/>")>



Usually an image tag doesn't contain any characters that aren't xml safe,
since it's just got the src (no url parameters usually), class, style
and potentially an alt or title tag. It's really the alt or title tag
that might potentially have non-xml safe characters, but still not very
often. The 2nd rereplace checks to see if the image has an xml closing
and if not then it closes it so that the xmlparse() will work properly.
Of course, if you don't want to do the xml thing, once you have the tag
by itself, then it's a lot easier to just get the src attribute via
regex,i.e. 



Although that runs some other potential risks of getting content from a
site that's using xml where the author used single-quotes instead of
doublequotes (minor change to the above regex I admit). I'm just saying,
6 of 1, 1/2-doz of the other there are a number of potential points of
failure either way.

Re: Another RegEx question...

 >>Claude, that brings back the javascript script tag

Ah ok, then you have to include the >I just want the RegEx though.

I wrote this tag because it is sometimes much easier to find what's 
between two very simple expressions
than to describe what you want in only one more complicated expression,
and I was tired of designing complex expressions.

So now, do not count on me to do it for others ;-)

The first thing I see is that you are only allowing for single-character

There may be more, but that's what I see at first glance.

Hi Mark,

I've been away for a couple of days, I've just seen your post. The long and 
short of it is that we have a client that has some sort of data feed process 
that requires that any given content that goes into their database has to be 
sorrounded by  tag. Unfortunately I have not influence on their data 
submission process. So I've had to submit sets of xml to them filled with the 
invalid HTML.

Hope it makes sense :-) cos I couldn't and still can't make any sense of it 
myself.

Jide.

Agreed. And the question, although once posed, still beckons - Jide, why 
do you want to do this again??  What precisely are you gaining by moving 
the closing paragraph tag outside the UL? I'm not going to even presume 
I know the answer, although I have my suspicions!

If the whole file is like this, henestly you don't really need 
CF_REextract for this.
1º replace all occurences of [[:space:]] by #chr(13)##chr(10)#
2º replace all  with #chr(13)##chr(10)#

You don't even need regexp for 2º

Now, if you have UL blocs with no preceding , or multi-level s, 
then it's another story.

to right after the closing  tag, in all instance this occurs in a document. 
To look like below.

sometimes

 >>Incidentally Claude, how would CF_Extract work in solving the problem.

I cannot be 100% sure myself if I don't have a sample of the file and 
the work to do actually,
but apparently your problem it a parsing issue, and I've designed this 
tag to help to solve
parsing problems.

The basic principle with CF_REextract is that it allows you to find 
special areas in your file
by specifying two regexp for areas that surround the areas you want, and 
sometimes this is much
easier than describing the area itself in one regexp.

[Jide Aliu]

Thanks for your reply Claude. I know that formatting wise it's madness to have 
 tags round  tag, but the problem we are having is that we are 
suppplying xml data to a vendor for some reason their system won't accept  
listing without  tags round them. That is my dilema. I'll have a look at 
CF_Extract and see if it's any good to me.

Thanks

Re: This is a good one - another Regex question

[Claude Schneegans]

 >> the  tag must go round the  tags like so

Sorry, but I don't really see the point here:
The P tag is supposed to be applied to a paragraph.
The UL and LI break that paragraph anyway, so that, unless the closing 
 is right after the end of the paragraph,
its presence after the closing  is not only redundant, but it is 
logically wrong: there is no paragraph to close here.

IMO, the format you are trying to modify is by far more correct than the 
result you are trying to attempt.

Any way, I don't think this would be very easy with straight regexp, I 
would rather use CF_REextract,
a much more powerful tool for parsing ;-)

Sorry just a quick correction below, the  tag must always encapsulate the 
next piece of  tag just after it and closes at the end of the tag;


 Body of text loads of it, sometimes just a one liner and it ends

Re: Yet another regex question

[Jon Clausen]

Chris,

It's what I use on one of my personal sites (http://spotstor.com) and  
I also use it for a non-MG site for a client.  It's a pretty  
straightforward setup. Just throw the include for coldcourse.cfm  
right after the  tag and then you can add the  
following in onRequestStart:



That will allow  ModelGlue to handle any result redirects properly.
With dot delimiters in events you may need to add something like the  
following in the onQueueComplete method:



That way you can use #viewstate.getValue("event")# in your views and  
still have the URLs formatted the way you want.

HTH,
Jon

Yet another regex question

[Peterson, Chris]

I am trying to write a regex for IsapiRewrite4.

I would like any url that is directly to the root (ie www.site.com) or
to ( www.site.com/index.cfm ) with 3 required paramaters after it, and
additional paramaters possibly.  So:

www.site.com/user/user/list/  would change to
www.site.com/index.cfm?event=user.user.list
www.site.com/index.cfm/user/user/list/ would change to
www.site.com/index.cfm?event=user.user.list
www.site.com/article/list/details/My-Big-Fat-Code-Monkey/Loves-Cheese
would change to
www.site.com/index.cfm?event=article.list.details?vars=My-Big-Fat-Code-M
onkey|Loves-Cheese


Here is what I was working with and getting nowhere:

[IsapiRewrite4.ini file]

RewriteLog  d:\temp\iirfLog.out
RewriteLogLevel 5

IterationLimit 0
RewriteRule ^/index\.cfm(/.+/.+/.*\?.+\..*)$ /index.cfm?event=$1.$2.$3


I am trying to get this to work properly using IsapiRewrite4, but a) the
debug output is not very useful (bad expression, loading default) and
when I do get it to run, all I get is the default model-glue page.  Has
anyone else done this? Thanks for any help or direction you can give me!

I'm working on this myself, but wanted to throw it to the list in case
someone knew it right off.
 
I have a string:

The length of this string might vary, but I need to get the string inside
the FIRST value="get this string".
 
I know the starting char by doing this: str.indexOf('"'); which returns 44,
so I know to start counting at 45, but how do I know to stop counting at
char 50 (in this case)? So basically I need to get the FIRST occurrence of

Probably not the best solution, but a very quick one (to come up with,
not processing time):

ListGetAt( YOUR_CONTENT, 2, """" )

Treat the content a quote-delimited list. Then the second list item is
the first value.
