Regular Expression problem

1 New Member
Hi,
I am new to regular expression stuffs. I am facing problem while implementing a reg. exp. for a textbox using regular expression validator in ASP page.

Requirement:
It will take only alphanumeric value i.e a-z,A-Z and 0-9

I am using reg. exp. ^[a-zA-Z0-9]*$
This is fine with a-z,A-Z and 0-9 checking but it also taking japanese characters

Please tell me where I am worng.

Thanks,

Hi there, does anyone know how I can build a regular expression e.g. for the string.search() function on runtime, depending on the content of variables? Should be something like this: var strkey = "something"; var str = "Somethin like this"; if( str.search( / + strkey + / ) > -1 )

Hello, I have a text file that I load up to a string. The text includes certain expression like {firstName} or {userName} that I want to match and then replace with a new expression. However, I want to use the text included within the brackets to do a lookup so that I can replace the expression with the new text. For example:

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

I'm using regular expressions to extract some data and some links from some web pages. I download the page and then I want to get a list of certain links. For building regular expressions, I use an app call The Regulator, which makes it pretty easy to build and test regular expressions. As a warning, I'm real weak with regular expressions. Let's say my regular expression is:

I have a regular expression (^(.+)(?=\s*).*\1 ) that results in matches. I would like to get what the actual regular expression is. In other words, when I apply ^(.+)(?=\s*).*\1 to " HEART (CONDUCTION DEFECT) 37.33/2 HEART (CONDUCTION DEFECT) WITH CATHETER 37.34/2 " the expression is "HEART (CONDUCTION DEFECT)". How do I gain access to the expression (not the matches) at runtime? Thanks, Mike

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.

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,...
