Apr 25, 2012

pound (lb)

just wondering how I would get the words within the brackets for example get the "g" in "gram (g)" and dim it as a new string. Possibly using regex?

Define An Array Inside Of The Sub Call Parentheses?

Mar 22, 2011

Is there a way to define an array inside of the sub call parentheses?

Private Sub sub_name(byval sString, arrString)
sub_name("Some Text", array.{"","",""})

What I've been doing is passing a string and using a split on it to break it into an array in the Sub/Function, but I was wondering if there was a way to make the array inside the parentheses. I've looked through Google, but I'm guessing I'm not asking the right questions or it's not possible.

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.

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

String From Regex Split Contains Extra Blank Values?

Sep 5, 2010

i have a small program to run through a log file and extract data from it which works, but the array it puts out has a blank value before and after the actual data values, and it confuses me why that happens, i dont really understand why and was hoping someone here knew! the parts of the code related are below

Dim rgxSessionStart As New Regex("^Session Start: [A-Z][a-z][a-z] ([A-Z][a-z][a-z]) (dd) dd:dd:dd (dddd)")
Dim substrings() As String
substrings = rgxSessionStart.Split(LineIn)

a sample line that it would match is Session Start: Sun Aug 22 00:00:00 2010 which WORKS, but the values of the array are "","Aug","22","2010","". so its not a critical problem because i can still get the data from it, but those blank values are puzzling and i feel like maybe im doing something wrong with the syntax or method for them to be there.

Replace Characters Inside Parenthesis Using Regex?

Sep 30, 2010

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
