Application Settings - Regular Expression - Customizable By The User
Oct 11, 2010
I have a little question about application settings. I have a regular expression in my code which should be customizable by the user so I made an application setting for it. The regular expression is used in a class in the project and has the following value
Dim email_regularex As String
So now I made a new Settings file in my project and gave the following value for this string in the settings file: ^([w-]+(?:.[w-]+)*)@((?:[w-]+.)*w[w-]{0,66}).([a-z]{2,6}(?:.[a-z]{2})?)$ [URL]
So when i do this in Visual Studio 2008, Visual Studio automatically creates a app.config xml file with the right settings in it. But when I start my application and use the regular expression like this:
I am attempting to create an application in an attempt so it could be run as the user and preserve individual settings, by this what i am trying to achieve is when the application is installed, it is installed once but each user has their own settings saved within their own profile - a bit like Office applications. How could i start with this?
Which is the best way to store application and user settings of an application running with multiple instances?My problem is that using the vb's "Application Settings" one instance would overwrite the other one.I want to identify each instance with a number passed via command line argument. I could use this number to identify the appropriate settings of the running instance, but I see in a local INI o XML file a better way to handle that.
I'm trying to save a collection of key/value settings in my application's "user settings" (they're column widths), but while I see no errors, when I run the code (in the IDE) my collection in "My.Settings" is always nothing at startup. I do a "My.Settings.Save" when the application exits, and barring the "serializers not found" errors in the IDE, no other errors occur. When I run my application as an exe, it behaves the same way..
If I create a user level application setting and bind it to a text box on a form, then type something in the textbox, the value is automatically saved and when the application is launched again the value appears in the textbox. This doesn't happen when I scope the setting as application.
Why are application scoped settings not saved automatically like user scoped settings are?
If this is by design, how can I manually save these settings and load them at runtime?
I'm trying to create a regex which will match either one of the following [code] This regex is supposed to return all and any form of the function that is used.If match string were - FVAL(A,"B")+5 then match group should be FVAL(A,"B")
I can get it to work in VB.NET but not C#. I can't figure out why it works in one but not the other.
[Code]...
As far as I can tell the patterns are identical in both languages with escaping. When I run the VB code I get a match. When I run the C# code I get nothing.
I have just coded the below regular expression. I have a mini rich text editor on a web page (very similar to the one I am using to post this question) and I want to make use of a double asterisk to indicate which words/phrases should be wrapped in a strong tag. The aim is to allow the user to add pre-defined HTML elements without actually having to submit HTML. [code...]
Maybe I am over-optimising this, but I want to know if this can be made more efficient?
It is a little like a search and replace, I want to replace any string that contains any substring in parentheses with the same string but the words in parentheses colored RED: Eg
Take this text in TextBox1:
"The Prime Minister (that idiot from Scotland) made a speech today"
and convert to this text in RichTextBox1:
"The Prime Minister (that idiot from Scotland) made a speech today"
I am trying to use regular expression for extracting data from web page. but everytime i change the URL i need to change my regular expression for URL.
I have the following function that I am using to remove the characters �4 and nulls from my xmlString but I can't find what do I need to change to avoid removing the from my ending tags. This is what I get when I run this function
I have a textbox which takes as input the email address. Do you have regular expression validator in vb.net so that I can check if '@' is present or not in the string
I have a string (can be anything) and somewhere in the middle of the string there's a filename with the extension 'txt'. The filename can basically be anything, and any filename is correct, but with a certain exception.
If the filename ends with .part<number>.txt, the <number> can only be one of the following, 1, 01, 001, 0001.
So I can get the URL value as the only Match from the Regular expression - but I don't understand enough about them (yet) to do this. I have seen RegEx examples that will parse any INI file and get the Name, Value Pairs I just want to get the URL value only from a file no matter what else it contains. My aim is to have something like this:
Dim _pattern As New Text.RegularExpressions.Regex("RegEx") Dim _url As String = _pattern.Match(iniContentString).Value
It seems simple but I cannot seem to create a specific case RegEx where I want everything from "URL=" to the vbCrLf at the End to be my "Match". I have refered to Regular-Expressions.info which has been a help before but still cannot get this simple example to work.
I'm attempting to build a function that will return a regex that is dynamically created.The regex to create will be a range check between two numbers. So far I've got something similar to this (not finished as yet).Is this approach valid, or is there an easier way that I'm overlooking?
Public Shared Function Range(ByVal Minimum As Integer, ByVal Maximum As Integer) As String Return "^([" & Minimum.ToString.PadLeft(2, "0") & "]" & Microsoft.VisualBasic.StrDup(Minimum.ToString.Length, "[0-9]") & "|2[0-4][0-9]|25[0-5])$"
I am trying to validate a csv file of domain names (eg. @google.com, @xyz.co.uk, @xyz.edu etc.) I am using the following Regular Expression: Regex(@"@(?:[a-zA-Z0-9-]+.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,4}$", RegexOptions.Compiled); Is there scope for improvement on the above?
Regex(@"@(?:[a-zA-Z0-9-]+.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,4}$", RegexOptions.Compiled); Using the above, I want to pass only values like @gmail.com, @xyz.edu, @co.uk etc... But I find that the values like abc@gmail.com (valid email ids) also pass through.
I am using the below Regular Expression which works fine in case of date validation. But if I select the date from the DatePicket even then it throws alert:Enter valid date. How can I modify the regular expression so as to be compatible with DatePicker.
Set RegularExpressionObject = New RegExp With RegularExpressionObject .Pattern = "^(((0?[1-9]|[12]d|3[01]).-/.-/?d{2}))|((0?[1-9]|[12]d|30).-/.-/?d{2}))|((0?[1-9]|1d|2[0-8])[.-/]0?2.-/?d{2}))|(29[.-/]0?2.-/?(0[48]|[2468][048]|[13579][26])|((16|[2468][048]|[3579][26])00)|00)))$" .IgnoreCase = True .Global = True End With [Code] .....
My coworker needs me to write him a regular expression for his vb.net app.I do not know vb and he does not know regex.The regex he needs is:/.*web id: ?(d+).*/iBasically he needs to search a string for something like "web id: 345" or "web id:2534" and retrieve the ID.He took what I gave him above and was able to put this together:
Dim strPattern As String = ".*web id: ?(d+).*" Dim strReplacement$ = "$1" GetWebId$ = Regex.Replace(LCase$(strNote$), strPattern$, strReplacement$)
How can I match the domain part only of a URI with regular expressions? I see lots of examples but the mutch the subdomain too. What I am looking to do is to capture only the domain. So, for example [URL] should match only google. As a secondary question, I am looking to implement this on a VB.NET program. Would there be some other way to do it without regular expressions?
I want a regular expression for the following issue:I want to match a string that contains A,B,C,D,E and F. string length should be 0 to 6. and not character should be repeat in the string.Example: ABCDEF, ACDEFB, EFBCDA, etc. but not ABBCDES/W Engineer
I am building an app where I am constantly having to stop to build the Regular Expression for each situation and then continue.
Does anyone know of an application that I can purchase that would offer an API I can use in my application to build the Regular Expressions in real time?
The English alphabet is composed of 26 single characters. However, there are languages in the world where a single character is composed of TWO LETTERS. For instance, in some indo-european languages, the letter "th" is equivalent to th in thief, in English. These two-character letters are considered part of the alphabet.Given the following coupled letters: DH, GJ, LL, NJ, RR, SH, TH, XH, ZHHow can i write a regular expression that just counts the total number of characters in a given text, SUCH THAT, if the letters above are found together, they are considered as ONE character? All other characters are excluded from the count, only letters
