The regex statement below is being used to valid user input for an IP Address.
I want to disallow the ability of a user to type in a domain name (can'tDoThis.com)
How would I change the following statement to NOT allow a user to type in alpha characters.
Dim ipPattern As String = "((2[0-4]d|25[0-5]|[01]?dd?).){3}(2[0-4]d|25[0-5]|[01]?dd?)"
The app I am writing deals with utility service addresses, and right now I am forcing the user to know enough to separate the parts of the address and put them in the appropriate fields before adding to the database. It has to be done this way for sorting purposes because a straight alphabetical sort isn't always right when there is a pre-direction in the address. For example, right now if the user wanted to put in the service address 123 N Main St, they would enter it as:
Street Number = 123
Pre-direction = N
Street Name = Main
Street Type = St
I've tried to separate this address into its parts by using the Split function and iterating through each part. What I have so far is below:Public Shared Function ParseServiceAddress(ByVal Address As String) As String()

I've found this method to be cumbersome, slow, and even totally wrong when given a wonky address. I'm wondering if what I'm trying to do here would be a good application for a regular expression? Admittedly I've never used regex in anything before and am a total newbie in that regard.Edit - Seems more and more like I'm going to need a parser and not just regex. Does anyone know of any good address parser libraries in .NET? Writing our own is just not in the cards right now, and would be sent to the back burner if it came to that.
I may have a string for example potato in a vb.net application. I want to find all the occurrences of o and convert them to 0, so the desired out is: p0tat0.I know it can be done by the provided string operations but I need a regular expression in my scenario.
View 1 RepliesI am in a need of a Regular Expression to restrict input to only certain characters in a text box. The text box can only allow 0 or 1 "+" sign at the beginning and at no other position. The text box can only allow 0 or 1 ":" sign not before the "+" sign. The text box can allow any number of 0-9 digits.

I have been struggling to find an answer to this problem:
I have a datagridview1 with 10 columns, 0-9
0-8 are for text, such as name, address, email
the 9th is a dollar amount. I want to sort the whole datagridview by this amount. But, what is happening is that when I click on the column it sorts the values out like this[code]...

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.

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 had a regular expression which parses out value.

View 2 RepliesI 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.
Every other <number> is incorrect.

I want to extract a URL value from an INI File as such:
[DEFAULT]
BASEURL=http://www.stackoverflow.com/
[InternetShortcut]
URL=http://www.stackoverflow.com/
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.
have a regular expression in .NET, which will allow only 24 hr time format in the textbox.
View 6 RepliesI'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?

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.

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$, strReplacement$)

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
View 1 RepliesI would like to be able to extract a number from within a string formatted as follows:
"<[1085674730]> hello foo1, how are you doing?"
I'm a novice with regular expressions, I only want to be able to extract a number that is enclosed in the greater/less-than and bracket symbols, but I'm not sure how to go about it. I have to match numeric digits only, but I'm not sure what syntax is used for only searching within these symbols.
I was wondering why some of the implementations were not working. In fact, the only one that did work was the one described by Matthew Flaschen. But that captures the symbols around the number as well as the number itself. I would like to only capture the number that is encased in the symbols and filter out the symbols themselves.
