Re: Simple regex question

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

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

change [a-z0-9] to [a-zA-Z0-9] it only fails because Andy's regexp does not allow uppercase letters. Azadi Saryev Sabai-dee.com http://www.sabai-dee.com/ On 10/06/2009 23:15, Rick Mason wrote: Andy, I jumped the gun a little too quickly. Neither yours nor Ben's works. Your code worked

Re: Simple regex question

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 On Wed, Jun 10,

Re: Simple regex question

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. ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with

I need a RegEx to strip all of the characters that appear after the *last* dash in a string (the last dash needs to be stripped as well). 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

RE: Simple RegEx question

With three replaces similar to the following: string = replace(string, #chr(10)##chr(13)#0, |0, all); You can do it without regex. Really, unless there's a need to do it with 2 lines instead of 3, regex is overkill. -- Ben Doom Programmer General Lackey Moonbow Software, Inc :
