REGEXP to select data

Hi,

I have data in a row, such as "34,54,12,1 34"

I need to select rows where they match certain numbers, and not others,
so match 34,12 and not 134 (ie the above row would fail, but
"34,124,12" would pass).

How do I build a REGEXP to search this - I've tried
(^34|,34,|,34$) - but that only works to find one match. How do I "AND"
in the REGEXP (regardless of order) and exclude a term?

Maybe there is a much better way of doing this?

Many thanks

Hi,

I have managed to refine the REGEXP selection a little, but I think I
am not combining the regexp correctly - I know have something like:

SELECT meal FROM recipe WHERE ingrediants REGEXP '(^|,)apple(,|$ )'
REGEXP '(^|,)pepper(,| $)' NOT REGEXP '(^|,)nuts(,|$)

The data looks something like:

apple,pepper,ca rrots (so true)
nuts,apples,pep per (so false)

Hi everyone! How can I simply search text for regexps (lets say <a href="(.*?)">(.*?)</a>) and save all URLs(1) and link contents(2) in a dictionary { name : URL}? In a single pass if it could. Or how can I replace the html &entities; in a string "blablabla&amp;blablabal&amp;balbalbal" with the chars they mean using re.sub? I found out they are stored in an dict . I though about this functionality:

I'm trying to use the EXSLT regexp package from http://www.exslt.org/regexp/functions/match/index.html (specifically the match function) with the libxml xltproc (which supports EXSLT), but whatever I do gets errors. The examples use namespace regExp, but the supplied files use regexp, I've got it so that it at least doesn't complain about namespaces but it then complains that it can't find the match function. My stylesheet is:

I'm trying to set up client side validation for a textarea form element to ensure that the data entered does not exceed 200 characters.

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. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
