Reg Expression

I was wondering if anyone knew how to write a regular expression which
validated that a field was 200 or less characters long.
Its this part i'm interested in working out. Can someone help me please.

ValidationExpre ssion="^{0,200} $"

<asp:regularexp ressionvalidato r id="Regularexpr essionvalidator 1"
runat="server"
ControlToValida te="TextBox1" ErrorMessage="O utcomes cannot be more than 200
characters long"
ValidationExpre ssion="^{0,200} $">*</asp:regularexpr essionvalidator >

You are close: it should be "^.{0,200}$ " (mind the ".")

The {0,200} means "the previous (sub)expression , repeated between
0 and 200 times", so you need to provide an expression to repeat.
The "." means "any character".

A note: by "repeated" I do not mean that the mach should be
up to 200 identical characters, but that the match-expression
"." is repeated 200 times.

OK, I want to scan a file for lines matching a certain regexp. I'd like to use an assignment expression, like for line in file: if (g := re.match(pat, line)): croggle(g.group(1)) Since there are no assignment expressions in Python, I have to use a temp var. That's a little more messy, but bearable:

Does it mean "(sizeof(int))* (p)" or "sizeof( (int)(*p) )" ? According to my analysis, operator sizeof, (type) and * have the same precedence, and they combine from right to left. Then this expression should equal to "sizeof( (int)(*p) )", but the compiler does NOT think so. Why? Can anyone help me? Thanks. Best regards. Roy

Hi, I am replaceing a big string using different regular expressions (see some example at the end of the message). The problem is whenever I apply a "replace" it makes a new copy of string and I want to avoid that. My question here is if there is a way to pass either a memory stream or array of "find", "replace" expressions or any other way to avoid multiple copies of a string. Any help will be highly appreciated

In Linq, you can apparently get a meaningful body from and expression's .ToString(); random question - does anybody know if linq also includes a parser? It just seemed it might be a handy way to write a safe but easy implementation (i.e. no codedom) for an IBindingListView.Filter (by compiling to a Predicate<T>). Anybody know if this is possible at all? Marc

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
