[Flashcoders] RegEx

[Karl DeSaulniers]

Hello,
Thought this might be of interest to anyone needing RegEx for almost  
anything.


http://www.owasp.org/index.php/OWASP_Validation_Regex_Repository

Looks like a good resource for code ideas.

Re: [Flashcoders] regex issue when validating unicode range

[Juan Pablo Califano]

Hi
I don't think the regex is wrong. In fact, if you change u for a smaller
number, it works fine.

I have not tested each code point, mind you, but with a few tries, the
highest max range that works that I could find is 0xFEFF.

The range 0xFF00 - 0x apparently is reserved for control stuff. So
0xFEFF is the last value before that range. Not sure if the way the regex
behaves is a bug or a feature, really, but you can probably get by with
something like this:

var testIsArabic:Boolean = /[\u0627-\ufeff]/.test(str.charAt(0));

Cheers

Have you tried looking at Grant Skinner's RegExp App?

[Flashcoders] regex issue when validating unicode range

[Matt Muller]

Hi there,

issue with regex when trying to test if a char is within a unicode range

var testIsArabic:Boolean = /\u0627/.test(str.charAt(0)); // this works
testing for arabic chars of unicode 0627

var testIsArabic:Boolean = /[\u0627-\u]/.test(str.charAt(0));  this
range does not work, returns false

NOTE: the str.charAt(0) is 0627

any ideas?

cheers,

MaTT

Re: [Flashcoders] regex in switch statement

[John Giotta]

This is very odd request. With switch... case, its only useful if you
have the same condition expression. Your regex example is a similar
expression, but no where the same. No I think you better off with
if...else in this matter.

[Mendelsohn, Michael]

That didn't work for me.  :-/

> Oke, i think you can, since it matches the input given with the case.   
i didnt test it.
But cant you store the regex in a var and put that in the case?

like so:

var myRegEx:RegExp = /(W|M|K)\d/i;

var stringToMatch = "";

switch(stringToMatch) {
case myRegEx:
break;
}

Otherwise cant you swithc on the result of the executed regex?

switch(str){
case ("W1") :

break;
case ("M1") :
case ("M2") :

...into something shorter like this:
switch(str){

I think its better practice to define that regex in a variable and

switch on that variable.

I'd use Grant's RegExr tool to try it out. I think there are so many
possibilities, might be hard for any one person to document capabilities
to the extent you're looking for.

Re: [Flashcoders] RegEx on a String (uppercase / lowercase)

[Glen Pike]

Check out Grant Skinner's RegExr application - it's perfect for testing 
out RegExp's and has helpful hints on different Regex params, etc.


You can use it online here & there is a download link on the page too...

Hi Wagner and Juan Pablo,

Thanks for the response! I also tried this:

var regObj:RegExp = new RegExp( "ˆ" + searchField_txt.text, "i" );
var filteredList:XMLList = landen.country.( regObj.test( 
countryname.toLowerCase() ) );


And that worked aswell. However the sollution provided by both of you 
is the way it should.


Thanks!

Re: [Flashcoders] RegEx on a String (uppercase / lowercase)

[Juan Pablo Califano]

Hi, you can use the "i" flag in the second constructor parameter if you want
a case insensitive regexp.

Check the info about the constructor here for an explanation of that and
other flags:

[Flashcoders] RegEx on a String (uppercase / lowercase)

[Sidney de Koning]

Hi List,

I'm filtering my loaded XML with RegEx (regular expressions). The  
input i filter on is in a textfield. So I have a textfield on the  
stage and match that to the text in my XML.
Right now i have a pattern the allows me to search only lowercase, but  
since all the names in my xml start with a capital i have a problem.  
This is my pattern:


var regObj:RegExp = new RegExp( "^.*[[:upper:]a-z].*"+  
searchField_txt.text +".*" );


My xml consist of country names, Andorra, Angola, Anguilla, Cuba,  
Cyprus, Denmark etc.


What I want to do is this; when i type: an it returns a list of  
Andorra, Angola, Anguilla. But when i type in an extra g, so now the  
word in my textfield becomes: "ang" it should return the list Angola,  
Anguilla. The pattern i have works a bit, but not quite. And my  
knowledge of RegEx is only exsisting since this morning. So what i  
want the RegEx to do is allow me to search the text, no matter if i  
type in lower-/uppercase and in the correct order.


Is there a RegEx rockstar who can help me on this?

[Flashcoders] RegEx Tools?

[Charles Parcell]

All,

I was hoping to get some insight on software tools to help build Regular
Expressions. I have happened apon RegExBuddy and it seems very nice. But
before I shell out $30 for it, I wanted to see what others use and see if
there were any free alternatives.

http://www.regexbuddy.com/

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Charles P.

var re = new RegExp("\"[^\"]+\"","gi");
var m_arr = re.exec(line);
var m = m_arr["0"];
var c_string = m.substr(1,m.length-2);
fl.trace("found: "+c_string);


I solved in this way:

var re = new RegExp("\"[^\"]+\"","gi");
var m_arr = re.exec(line);
if(m_arr){
var m = String(m_arr);
var c_string = m.substr(1,m.length-2);
fl.trace("found: "+c_string);

any cleaner?

the string is correctly traced but I got the alert "m_arr has no

   var goodname:RegExp = new RegExp ("[^a-z0-9\\.]", "gi");
   var return_str:String  = a.replace(goodname, "_");

   var output_txt:TextField = new TextField ();

it should be. RegExp adds some functions to String() by prototype, sth.
like String().replace().
it works (or should work) simpilar like preg_replace() in php.

Can you tell us which line is line 6? You only gave 5 lines of code...

  

count them. the compiler counts them too :-)

also:
'a' is a string, and you are calling 'a.replace()'. Is that correct? (I

Can you tell us which line is line 6? You only gave 5 lines of code...

also:
'a' is a string, and you are calling 'a.replace()'. Is that correct? (I
don't know how the regexp library works exactly, so it may be)
