Good morning.
I would like to use one or more RegExp to validate country names as having
the first and last words beginning with an uppercase letter, intermediate
words beginning with either uppercase or lowercase, and all other characters
being lowercase characters. The difficult part is that I want to obtain save
the string positions of the invalid characters in an array, rather than just
obtain a true or false value.
Can anybody with more experience with Regular Expressions than me suggest
some code, sites, or approaches.
Thanks,
Ron

I strongly recommend you get the following book because it will really
help with understanding everything that Regular Expressions can do for you:
Mastering Regular Expressions, Second Edition
Jeffrey E. F. Friedl
O'Reilly & Associates, 2002
ISBN 0-596-00289-0
Note: If you're already familiar with using Regular Expressions in
PERL, then this book will definitely be more useful to you.
By the way, can you tell us a little bit about the project you're
working on? It would be interesting to know where this type of functionality
is needed.

Hi
I have the following code that lists first names of people who's
surnames are 'Morris'. What I am trying to do is search for first names that
don't start at the beginning of the line ie. have the '' in the regExp
object, but 'Neil' is matched even though it is next to(?) the start of line
char(?) or should I say 'Neil' is the first 'word' of the string?
here's the code

Hi.
Suppose str is defined as follows
char str = "012345678901";
Is it wrong to use functions such as
printf("%s",str)
strcmp(str2,str)
strcpy(dest,str)
(since str is an array of chars without the teminating \0)?

Hello,
How do I find the first and last non-numeric char positions (using
regexp) in an alphanumeric string?
For example,
99ABC1A => should return 2, 6
DE8A1 => should return 0, 3
Thanks,

Is there a way to get the position of multiple substrings that match a
regexp without using closures? match() returns the substrings
themselves, not the positions, and search() seems to only return the
first position. Here's what seems to work (under Shanti Rao's jsdb.exe
shell) but I get a bit nervous about using closures...
function bind_cache(x) { return function (subs,ofs)
{ x.push(); return ""; }}
x=;
f=bind_cache(x);

Hi,
what is the fastest way to search for all occurences of a string in a
very long string (from several KB to MB). What I want to get is an
array of numbers with positions of each occurence.
thanks

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
