Hi,
I have several regular expressions that I need to run against
documents. Is it possible to combine several expressions in one
expression in Regex object. So that it is faster, or will I have to
use all the expressions seperately?
Here are my regular expressions that check for valid email address and
link
Dim Expression As String =
"([\w\-]+\.)*[\w\-]+@([\w\-]+\.)+([\w\-]{2,5})"
EmailRegex = New Regex(Expressio n, RegexOptions.Ig noreCase Or
RegexOptions.Co mpiled)
Dim HrefPattern As String =
"href\s*=\s*(?: ""(?<match>[^""]*)""|(?<match>\ S+))"
HrefRegex = New Regex(HrefPatte rn, RegexOptions.Ig noreCase Or
RegexOptions.Co mpiled)
so can I combine both regular expressions in one?
Thanks 2 5052
Sehboo,
Using Alternation you can combine regular expressions.
Dim regex As New Regex(Expressio n & "|" & HrefPattern,
RegexOptions.Ig noreCase Or RegexOptions.Co mpiled)
You may want to also use a grouping construct with a name so you know which
expression you matched...
Also you may want to use Match & NextMatch to walk the matches found,
however I do not have a good example of this...
I find both of the following sites invaluable when working with regular
expressions.
A tutorial & reference on using regular expressions: http://www.regular-expressions.info/
The MSDN's documentation on regular expressions: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...geElements.asp
Hope this helps

Hi All,
I'd like to "compress" the following two filter expressions into one -
assuming that it makes sense regarding query execution performance.
.... where (adate LIKE "2004.01.10 __:30" or adate LIKE "2004.01.10 __:15")
....
into something like this:
.... where adate LIKE "2004.01.10 __:(30/15)" ...

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 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

I'm kind of disappointed with the re regular expressions module. In

major drawback to me. There are so many great things that can be
accomplished with regular expressions this way, such as validating a
mathematical expression or parsing a language with nested parens,
quoting or expressions.
Another feature I'm missing is once-only subpatterns and possessive
quantifiers...
