Problem: Current regex pattern does not filter all lines. Adding ^ to the beginning and $ to the ending of the pattern seems to break it as well. If I try it ont gives partial results using options(multiline & case insensitive). Using it in the application returns nothing at all.
View 1 RepliesIn a Java class library I can divide my classes into packages to make them easy to manage under one root and several 'branch' namespaces, but in VB there is no sub-category in a project, all the class files are in there by alphabetical order, when the library gets big it's a mess. Is there a better way to manage class library in VB? I use visual basic 2010 express.
View 2 RepliesThis is going to sound weird but I was wondering if there is a way to show in a list all of the installed Windows Updates.
View 9 RepliesI'm trying to figure out if specific Windows updates are installed so I can install the correct ones.I'm currently checking the WindowsUpdates.log file that is located within the windows directory, but it's terribly unreliable.In my search to find an alternative method, I cam across this blog post. It seems like a perfect fit. Unless you take into account that this is VBScript and their querying Microsoft.Update.Session.what class in WMI that would relate to VB so I can pull the info.

I am trying to remove the tables within an HTML file, specifically, for the following document, I'd like to remove anything within the tags <TABLE....> and </TABLE>. The document contains multiple tables with texts in between.
The expression that I came up with, <TABLE.*>s*[s|S]*</TABLE>s*, however would remove the text in between the tables. In fact it would remove everything between the first <TABLE> and the last </TABLE> tags. I would like to keep the texts in between and only remove the tables.

I'm messing around with regular expressions and I can't seem to figure out how to parse this file.It's basically a lua file containing a table like:
TableName = {
["QuotedString"] = {
["QuotedString"] = {
[code]....
Some things with the file are standard, like the "TableName" (Never in quotes) starts the table. Variables always have [" "] around them and then equal something like ["Test"] = 0. However, the variable could have multiple variables within it. split up the file within each {} and then try to parse each ["QuotedString-Key"] = 0?
I'm writing a little web service which generates SO/SF/SU/MSO user flair in the form of an image with various "themes". I find this preferable to using the HTML/JS solutions offered by SO as it's more flexible and also works better in forum signatures.
I'm retrieving the data using the apparently unofficial API (More info here). I can have the data in HTML or JSON. I assumed the JSON would be easier to parse.
Unfortunately, I'm not great at regexes. and the best I can come up with is some very hacky sub-stringing. I believe a regex should be the most elegant solution
regex that matches ID, GravatarURL, ProfileURL, DisplayName, Reputation and Badge Counts (Bronze/Silver/Gold).

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?

Part of my project is to retrieve a string variable from an external source (google docs) and parse it. This string represents width and height. I have no problem retrieving, I just need to parse it in to two strings. The string has 4 variations.
Here are examples:
3"x4"
3"hx4"w
3hx4w
3x4
The width is always the first number and the height is always the second. Sometimes, the width and height have decimal points. Any way to parse this into two strings of the numeric values only?

I am trying to parse the parameters of Excel formulas like "=a(b)", "=a(b,c)", "=a(b,c,d)". I'd like extract the function name "a" and the parameters "b", "c" and "d".
There are loads of examples on SO to parse HTML and so forth, but none specifically for parentheses.
So far, I've got this "=(.+)(([^,)]*)(,[^,)]*)*)" but when I parse "=a(b,c,d)" it puts "a" in match(1), "b" in match(2) and ",d" in match(3). So "c" is lost and the comma before the "d" is a pain.
How can I parse a string like this with an arbitrary number of parameters, ideally dropping the commas?
The ability to parse "=a(b(c),d(e(f)))" would be great...
Edit: I know that a parser is the correct solution and I have used Devin Cook's excellent Gold Parser with great results before.
However, the particular case I'm facing is to extract the arguments from a known Excel formula. Specifically, if the formula contains the string "=Travel(", I know that it will have 4 arguments and if they don't parse it's not a problem. This is simply a "nice to have" function which can fail occasionally without it being an issue.
regex for "=a(b,c,d)", "=a(b,c,d,e)", etc., with the constraint that there will be no nested parentheses or commas?

View 1 RepliesI've written a program that works perfectly well when installed on my development PC, but when I use the wizard in "Build-> Publish" and install the software on another computer it complains it can't find the DLL that I've linked to.The DLL comes from a programmable board that I'm linking to, so I don't have access to the source code, and I've included it in my project using the following lines:
Declare Function InitMbee Lib "C:UsersMartin & CelinaDesktopVBminimb.dll" () As Boolean
Declare Function SetOutputs Lib "C:UsersMartin & CelinaDesktopVBminimb.dll" (ByVal outputs As Integer) As Boolean
However I've not included the DLL in any other way, so I'm wondering if I have to add it to a list of items that need to be included with the installer, or if I've declared it in such as way that it needs to be in the same place for all installations.

I'm stuck with .Net Framework 2.0, so no Linq or lambda expression goodies for me. Also I want to include the code in my custom library and not just reference it. Can anyone point me to some good library or code.
I just need to parse and not evaluate the expression and find what tokens are in use. After finding the tokens I need to change the expression string before parsing, like if the function ORGVAL is used then the parameter passed has has to be prefixed by an underscore. Like ORGVAL(BAS) will transform to ORGVAL(_BAS). Some functions can have tow parameters like ORGVAL(BAS, "2012/12/31") and this will transform to ORGVAL(_BAS, "2012/12/31")
NOTE: IF THERE ARE OTHER WAYS OF DOING IT PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I WOULD LOVE TO AVOID A PARSER AND LEXER.

View 1 RepliesI 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].

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?
