What happens exactly when you use a regular expression? How do they parse a string so quickly?
View 2 RepliesJust wondering if its possible in VB.NET RegEx's if you can do conditional substitutions when rebuilding a string, in the sense that extra characters can be inserted if missing. I offer this bank account example, were we're trying to standardize a bank account into the format XX-XXXX-XXXXXXX-XXX, note the 3 XXX's in the suffix

i want to use regex to perform the following:
i have a string of characters like AlphaNumeric
i need to convert it like this alphanumeric, that is change all the caps in the string.
I need help from the Regex wizards out there. I am trying to write a simple parser that can tokenize the options list of a Snort rule (Snort, the IDS/IPS software). Problem is, I can't seem to find a workable formula that breaks apart the individual rule options based on their terminating semi-colon. The formulas that I have cooked up grab all options between parenthesis into a single capture group.
I am using the excellent RegExr tool at the GSkinner site with some of the below sample rule options from Emerging Threats (I parsed off the rule header -- that's easy to tokenize):

I had to play with a few example regex's that work with quoted strings. Finally realized that I am staring at negative look-behinds that avoid quotes that are escaped. This seems to solve any other escaped character, too, because escaped characters only appear inside unescaped quotes.
I need a regular expression that can validate that a string is an alphanumeric comma delimited string.
Examples:
123, 4A67, GGG, 767 would be valid.
12333, 78787&*, GH778 would be invalid
fghkjhfdg8797< would be invalid
This is what I have so far, but isn't quite right: ^(?=.*[a-zA-Z0-9][,]).*$

View 4 RepliesThe following works in vb.net, and basically only allows characters on a standard US Keyboard. Any other character pasted gets deleted. I use the following regular expression code:

I'm trying to do is some password validation. It needs to have at least 1 lower case character, 1 uppercase character, 1 number and at least 6 characters in length. I figured I could do this using "RegularExpressions" however I can't figure out how to determine the "at least one occurance" of each. For example I thought the following would work but it only validates that what is input is a lower case, uppser case or numeric character, not that the input has at least one of each. The user should be able to enter any characters but at least one of lower case, upper case and numeric characters.

I have a string list which has hundrens of elements. Now I want to find a rule to distinguish them according to their similarity. There are these kinds of pattern.
Group 1: "ABC 20", "ABC 20 Dup". There is a substring "DUP" in the last position.
Group 2: "saliva 4", "saliva 4_2","siliva 4_3", etc. There is a substring "_" plus a number in the last position.
Group 3: "sal_1", "sal_1b","sal_1c", etc. There is a character in the last popsition.
Group 4: "NA222", "NA222b", there is a character in the last position.
Group 5: "1","1_2","10","10_2" etc.
I want to put them into a dictionary if they are similar.

It has been a while since I have used regular expressions and I'm hoping what I'm trying to do is possible. I have a program that sends automated response regarding a particular file and I'd like to grab the text between two words I know will never change. In this example those words are "regarding" and "sent"
Dim subject As String = "Information regarding John Doe sent."
Dim name As String = Regex.IsMatch(subject, "")
So in this case I'd like to be able to get just "John Doe". Every regexp I'm coming up with includes the words "regarding" and "sent". How can I use those words as the boundaries but not include them in the match?

I'm trying to use regular expressions to find a matching model within the game. This part works perfectly! The only problem is that if it finds more than one match it'll try to place all matches it finds which I don't want it to do. Anyone more advanced in Regex can they tell me how to use regular expressions to only show one match or the first match it finds?
