Hi,
I have a string like this:
GeboGebo Wiki 0.9.2 (Default branch)
I want to remove the words between the parenthesis. I tried this regexp:
/\([a-zA-Z0-9]\)/ but without success, what is wrong with it ?
Thank you,

You're looking for *exactly one* character a-z or 0-9.
RegExp /\([a-z0-9\ ]+\)/ might work a bit better. Though, it takes the
parenthesis with the contents, and I don't know if that's the wanted
behaviour (you said you wanted to remove the *text* between
parenthesis).

Thank you, i should also remove the parenthesis. How to do ?

If your string is, as you say, like that, why not use the
string functions instead?
substr($subject ,0,strpos($subj ect,'('))

/\([a-zA-Z0-9]\)/ but without success, what is wrong with it ?
Your character class doesn't allow spaces and only matches a
single character and the surrounding brackets.
`\([a-z ]+\)`i

Thank you, it works ! I don't know php; can the substr be used as a
replacement of the regexp `\([a-z ]+\)`i ? Which is faster ?

The regular expression matches letters and spaces and the
surrounding brackets, whereas the substr returns everything
up to the first '('. The equivalence of their output
depends on your subject string.
Which is faster ?
I don't know. Can you tell me?

Hello,
I need to browse a list of hyperlinks, each followed by an
author, and remove the links only for certain authors.

RegExp object to be non-greedy as using the ? quantifier doesn't seem

I'm trying to use the EXSLT regexp package from

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 need to come up with a function
function regExpPos (text, re, parenNum) { ... }
that will return the position within text of RegExp.$parenNum if there
is a match, and -1 otherwise.
For example:
var re = /some(thing|or other)?.*(n(est)(?:ed)?.*(parens) )/
var text = "There were some nesting parens in the test";
alert (regExpPos (text, re, 3));

In the following string I would like to find the word that comes after

I found some indication that Perl regexp can do this with some sort of

Hello all,
I have just discovered (the long way) that using a RegExp object with
the 'global' flag set produces inconsistent results when its test()
method is executed. I realize that 'global' is not an appropriate
modifier for the test() function - test() searches the entire string
by default.
However, I would expect it to degrade gracefully. Instead, I seem to
be getting something as follows - using W3Schools handy page at :

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.
