String sent to function, needs to return only alphanumeric values

19 New Member
Hey everyone, I had a quick problem:

I want to be able to send a string of data to a function and have it return that same string but only in alphanumerics. That is to say, if I sent it:

"Hello world 1!"

It should return:

"Helloworld 1"

Is this possible? I know I can do a verification using RegEx, but I want to actually alter the string to return only alphanumeric. Any help would be much appreciated!

You can use the same RegExp pattern to replace as well as to test-

string=string.r eplace(/\W+/g,'');

Time for another random syntax idea. . . So, I was tinkering in the interactive interpreter, and came up with the following one-size-fits-most default argument hack: Py> x = 1 Py> def _build_used(): .... y = x + 1 .... return x, y ....

I want to check if the user enters alphabet or numbers only in the text box. If the user enters non-alphabet or non-numbers, I should pop up a message and doesn't allow the user to do that. I am using regular expression to do the checking. But it seems it always return false. What did I miss? please advise. thanks!! <script type="text/javascript"> function checkkey(obj) { var re = /^$/; alert(re.test(obj.value));

Does anyone know if a easier way (built in function, or something) that can verify that a string is an alphanumeric number? Here is what I am doing now: for(i=0; i < strlen(temp); i++){ if(!isalnum(temp)){ return 1 } return 0;

Hi, I'm a complete newbie to C, but I wanted to get started by writing a few simple programs that print out strings. 1. The first thing I wanted to do was write a program that uses getchar to read one letter at a time, and uses printf to print it out as entered. I also wanted to make it terminate when the EOF character is entered.

OK folks here is what I need help with. Lets assume I have a text field that will contain AlphaNumeric data. There is no set pattern to the field such that any given character can be either alpha or numeric. I need a function that will return the requested 'part' of the contents of the field. A 'part' would be defined as consecutive Alpha or Numeric characters in the text field. Examples: Field Name = cFoo

Hello, I am new to C and I am trying to write a few small applications to get some hands-on practise! I am trying to write a random string generator, based on a masked input. For example, given the string: "AAANN" it would return a string containing 3 alphanumeric characters followed by 3 digits. This part I have managed:) I would now like to add some complexity to this, such as repetitions and grouping. For example, I'd like to have...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: 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.
