Ignore Curly Brackets In Regex Expression

Nov 14, 2011

I am trying to build an application which does the following :

1) write some text in a richtextbox

2) when user clicks a button, the app will replace the text with another text in {} braces.

what I want is that the next time, the regex searches for any text it should exclude those which are present in {}. for eg : my world is good world and a happy world and will be a better world for everyone. first pass - change word "world"

[Code]....

Curly Brackets In URL Will Not Pass Through Validation

May 17, 2010

I have this url, [URL]. I need the {zip}, because in my code, when this page opens, I replace the {zip} with a zipcode say 10001. But in aspx, when i put validation for that txtbox, it wont let the {} pass through. This is the validation -
ValidationExpression="http://([w-]+.)+[w-]+(/[w- ./?%&=]*)?"

How can I get the curly brackets in sql server? Which is my db in backend.

Parsing Out The Contents Within Brackets Using Regex?

Dec 20, 2011

I'm sure this is simple and I'll probably be embarrassed to have this question in my profile but I can't seem to get this Regex correct.

I'm tring to extract just the digits from the last group of the following string:

Properties[1].Securitymeasures[14].AdditionalSecurityType

so I want to have a regex that will return 14

The Regex I have come up with is:

[(d)+]

However - the match is returning "[14]" - including the brackets and I do not understand why. I have surrounded the d with parenthesis which should mean that this is the data I want to capture.

.net - Global RegEx Replace Function To Create HTML From Square Brackets?

Nov 30, 2011

I have some existing code that looks something like this:

[tag:cb cbid="12345" cbwidth="200" cbclassname="calloutbox" cbposition="left"] Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
[tag:cb cbid="123" cbwidth="200" cbclass="calloutbox2" cbposition="left"] Suspendisse eleifend enim a magna pretium porttitor.

I need to write a VB .Net global function that will match these [tag:cb] and take the optional parameters and rewrite the string with Html tags.

<div id="12345" width="200" class="calloutbox" position="left">content (based on id)</div>

Regex - Matching And Replacing The Contents Of Multiple Overlapping Sets Of Brackets In A String?

Jun 5, 2011

I am using vb.net to parse my own basic scripting language, sample below. I am a bit stuck trying to deal with the 2 separate types of nested brackets.

Assuming name = Sam
Assuming timeFormat = hh:mm:ss
Assuming time() is a function that takes a format string but
has a default value and returns a string.

[code]....

I could in theory change the syntax of the script completely but I would rather not. It is designed like this to enable strings without quotes because it will be included in an XML file and quotes in that context were getting messy and very prone to errors and readability issues. If this fails I could redesign using something other than quotes to mark out strings but I would rather use this method.

Preferably, unless there is some other way I am not aware of, I would like to do this using regex. I am aware that the standard regex is not really capable of this but I believe this is possible using MatchEvaluators in vb.net and some form of recursion based replacing. However I have not been able to get my head around it for the last day or so, possibly because it is hugely difficult, possibly because I am ill, or possibly because I am plain thick. I do have the following regex for parts of it.

Detecting the parentheses: (w*?)((.*?))(?=[^(+)]*((|$))
Detecting the square brackets: [[(.*?)]](?=[^[+]]*([[|$))

Why Does Regex Ignore Plus Or Minus Signs

How To Use RegEx Expression With InSTR

Jan 13, 2011

I'm looking to do is scrub an html file for anything that resembles an IP address or any set of numbers for that matter. Normally what I would do is just using things like string.split to split out the html around areas that I want to search. What I am looking to do is be able to essentially search a large amount of characters for anything that matches this reg ex pattern.

Dim pattern As String = "^(d{1,2}|1dd|2[0-4]d|25[0-5]).(d{1,2}|1dd|2[0-4]d|25[0-5]).(d{1,2}|1dd|2[0-4]d|25[0-5]).(d{1,2}|1dd|2[0-4]d|25[0-5]):(d{1,4}|[0-5]dddd|[0-5]dddd|6[0-4]ddd|65[0-4]dd|655[0-2]d|6553[0-5])$"

VS 2010 Proper Regular Expression (Regex) Pattern?

Apr 24, 2012

It seems up until now I've never used Regex, nor even heard of it. But once I did I realized how extremely useful this is. Having said, it's been 2 days since I've began looking into constructing my own patterns. My most recent being for decimals. Is the pattern I provided below "proper"? and are there also any improvements I could be making for a more efficient patter, which would minimize any possibility of a loophole? [code] So for my use, this is doing what it's supposed to being doing under every test I can through at it. But do mind the 0. and .0, I have a function to normalize these as they are proper, I just pad the left and right accordingly. I found most regex questions asked here..and yes I am doing this in vb.net so it fits. If not, then feel free to move this post somewhere else better suited for the topic of discussion.
