now i want the Regex to take text and the special characters between the tags <line>,<inline>..
Essentially I am trying to replicate the Windows 7 (In-Windows) activation key TextBox form. The Form where it will auto capitalize letters, remove or deny all non alphanumeric characters except dashes every 5 characters that will be auto-input.I assume this can be done with a fairly complicated replacement Regular Expression but I cannot seem to create one to fit the needs.
This is an Example of what I have right now, but it creates an infinite loop as it removes all characters including dashes, than adds a dash, which changes the text and removes the dash again.

I need to define a regular expression that accepts Alphanumeric and the following special characters:
@#$%&*()-_+][';:?.,!
I've come up with:
string pattern = @"[a-zA-Z0-9@#$%&*+-_(),+':;?.,![]s\/]+$";
But this doesn't seem to be working.
I've got this implementation in javascript:
EscapeForRegex = function(input) {
var specials = ["[", "\", "^", "$", ".", "|", "?", "*", "+", "(", ")", "{", "}"]
for (var k in specials) {

I am trying to split a data field in VB using the split function.
The data field has the following character strings"&|:"
which I need to base my split on.
Dim elements As String() = Regex.Split(dataField, "&|:")
field1 = elements(1)
field2 = elements(2)
The field1 and field2 still have a trailing "&|" chracters.How do I check if the field1 and field2 have these trailing characters? How do I delete them?PS - I have tried "&\|:" as the delimiters in the split function which did not work.

I want to get tags content in a string with regular expression. I wrote it for just one line. When the content changed into some lines from one line, Regex will never do pattern on the tag. I choose RegexOptions.Multiline + RegexOptions.Singleline for finding options.My pattern in low level: (>)[ a-z A-z 0-9 ]*(</)

Alternatively, if anyone knows how to get an ftp file object using .Net 2.0 instead of an html string that would be even better.
I'm in need of some help trying to figure out the RegEx formula for finding the values within the tags of HTML mark-up like this:

I only need 1993, R, 2.8 and 94% from that HTML above.

I am having an issue where I am using regex.Replace to replace part of a string. The basic idea is that I want to capture the beginning of the string then replace the end of the string with a value from code. For an example pretend I have a string that says "Test Number " followed by number and I want to increment that number. I capture the "Test Number " but when I try to concatenate that capture with the new number it treats the capture ($1) as a literal and replaces the entire string with $1[new number].
[code]...
This will output "We are on Test Number 2", as expected. how I can use a variable in the replacement string portion of the Regex.Replace when including a captured group?
I want to check if a Vb.net string contains at least 3 non white space characters of which at least one non numeric character. i dont know creating the regular expression for it?

Im trying to extract ALL urls from a webpage in between two sets of strings.
I have the code to extract all links, but I am
href="http://www.blah.com/yadayada?tf=info"
Using regex; I want to grab everything between href=" and the quotation mark at the end .
This was a snipit I found that works for extracting in between 'href="' and </a>
HTML
Regex.Matches(data, "href=""(.*?)"".*?>(.*?)</a>")
I learn best by example, and I tried piecing it together by comparing the regex match above, to a URL in between hreft" and </a> - but I couldnt do it. Ive been working on this project for a while, and im getting tired.
I've used regular expressions in the past. I have an app that parses a .csv file and replaces certain characters (commas). Here's an example..
item1, item2, item3, fruits are apples, oranges, grapes. Squash is a vegetable, not a fruit.
What my app does is search each line between character1 and character18 and replace all "," with "~". How this is done through regular expressions?
I have to process a string that could include all sorts of non-standard characters and I've been asked to provide a regular expression that will match and remove all characters that are non-alphanumeric except punctuation and spaces. Is there a way to do this?
View 3 RepliesI need to find illegal characters in a windows forms textbox
The textbox text is sent as an sms text message and illegal characters are not allowed
e.g 1 client pasted some text from a word document into the texbox and the ' in msword appears as slanting ' in the textbox (see below)
e.g msword text - This is a new test of the Services
after pasting in textbox - This is a new test of the Services
The sms company have advised the slanting apostrophe is a unicode character
How can I find characters like above so I can remove them before sending the sms text
To search a pattern containing parenthesis, they must be escaped using backslashes. So to search for (Streetname) you must use (Streetname). If you don't use , whatever is between () will be retained and available for reference through the variables $1, $2 etc... Exemple, in the sentence "It's worth noting that (StreetName) can be anything...(Post), (TreeStump)", $1=StreetName, $2=Post, $3=TreeStump

I'm creating a program in VB.NET to output multiple images. Some images will have the same file name. If there is multiple files with the same name I want to add "_1_" to the end of the file name. If the "_1_" file already exists I want to increment the 1 to be "_2_". If this file already exists I want to continue incrementing the number ultil it doesn't exist. So for example "filename", filename_1_", "filename_2_", etc. Here is the code that I have tried

I've been working straight since yesterday trying to get this to work. I'm a noob to RegEx and I've tested out about 5 different RegEx "builders" but each of them require you to navigate through the options to build the Regex...each of them has failed when I try to use them.Is there an application out there free/paid where you select the line you want to grab and the RegEx is auto generated from that highlight rather than having to try to build the line of code?

View 1 RepliesI want to use Regex.Replace to replace a Match with a context sensitive value. I use the MatchEvaluator for this. But to make things simpler lets say I'm matching %v I want %v to be escapable, so if I use \%v it will not match. Anything else should match.
The pattern I came up with is this: (?:[^\]|^)%v It basically matches %v if it occurs at the beginning of the string, or if it follows any character except . It doesn't capture the first part of the expression.I know this isn't the "right" way to do it. But it worked just fine until I noticed that when I use this pattern in a replace, it includes the character before %v in the replacement(duh, right?)So, if I have ThisIsAValue:%v and I do Regex.Replace, replacing with the string Value, my result will be ThisIsAValueValue instead of ThisIsAValue:ValueI've tried googling this but the fact that "escape character" is so heavy in RegEx, all the results are geared towards the USAGE of escape characters instead of picking them out with a pattern.
I need the code to filter the data entered in a textbox. Although it accepts all the characters during runtime, the code should remove all the strings and alpha numeric characters except the numbers (which would be my output). I tried the following code but guess it won't do:
a = Textbox1.text
Dim value As Decimal = CDec(Regex.Replace(a, "[D]", ""))
Using VB or C#, I am getting a string of variable length from the database. This information is sensitive information that only certain users will be able to see.I have two cases that will use the same logic (I think).scenario 1: replace all characters with xscenario 2: replace all characters with x except the last 4 characters (assume length > 4 - this check is being done).I thought that this would be easiest using Regex.Replace(input, pattern, replacestring). As opposed to a lot of string handling with substrings and forcing a length of 'x's.

I have a text box where users will enter 4 digits that are ONLY numbers 0-9. I have blocked all letters and less than 4 or greater than 4 digits. But, for example if I enter 10.0, it will throw an exception, due to incorrect math used later in the prog. So how can I block the use of a (.) or any special character for that matter! I am using specific msgboxes to let the user know what isn't allowed, and would like to do the same for special characters.
What I have so far:
If Val(txtEntered.Text) < 0 Or
(IsNumeric(txtEntered.Text) = False) Then
MsgBox("Sorry, but letters are not allowed!")

I'm working on a form in which strings of text are being imported. A lot of these strings contain special characters, like �, �, �, &, �, etc...
When I convert these strings to text, so they can be shown as labels, the special characters either disappear (like the '&' sign) or they are shown as some sort of icons. How can I let VB handle these strings, so the special characters are shown the way they should, without having to change the (many hundreds) original strings of text?
