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"

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.
Just have a list of words, such as:
gram (g)
kilogram (kg)
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?
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.
I am trying to make a regex that will match strings between a comma only if the comma is outside of complete brackets. Brackets inside of " " should not count. Examples below. [code]

View 5 RepliesI 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>
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*?)((.*?))(?=[^(+)]*((|$))
Detecting the square brackets: [[(.*?)]](?=[^[+]]*([[|$))
I need my application to do some fairly simple C-style curly brace text parsing. The text style is similar to C or C# in that it uses curly braces to define blocks of code.[code]As you can see it also uses C-style comments (//) and can (actually always will) use nested blocks, but only up to one level of nesting is allowed. As you can also see, the code does not have to be formatted neatly. There can be spaces before any opening or closing brace and it will still be valid.The text however is not similar to C or C# in a few ways:
- it does not need a semicolon ; after each 'statement' (abc, def)
- the block names will always consists of one single word except for the possibility of comments behind that word.
- the event names may contain more words
- the block and event names do not end in parentheses ()
I am telling you this because I have a C and C# parser which I can use (it came with the text editor control I am using) but it does not recognize the language I need as valid C or C#, because the block names do not end in parentheses, and the commands are not ended by semicolons. Therefore it keeps doing things wrong (it should automatically outline the text, auto indent it, smart format it etc) because it is expecting C syntax exactly, and it sees my language as loads of syntax errors (missing semicolons etc).So, I need a way to parse the language manually, and it needs to be pretty fast too. Some of the things I need include:
- Getting an entire block (including nested blocks) just from the block name (identifier?).
- Getting all block names (nearly had this working with the help you guys gave me but not completely there yet).
- Getting all event names in a specified block.
- Getting an entire block (or just the block name) just from the current cursor position (if the cursor position is somewhere in block2 I should be able to identify that and return 'block2').
- Probably more...
Then I thought, wait a minute, this C-style language is probably the most used language style, so there should be LOADS of examples online... So I started googling but did not find many relevant things.Is there anyone who has any knowledge about simple language parsers? Anyone who can help me do the things I wrote above..? I realize I am asking for a lot, but the language is pretty easy and I cannot imagine that it is extremely hard to parse it quickly. I also don't require any syntax error checking; all I need are the few things above (mainly retrieving the block names and event names).
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 have been stumped on this for about 3 weeks now. In the beginning me and my partner have been trying to hit this at the internal angle. only problem is different html tables are constructed different than others. We are needing to extract from multiple pages and sites so we know that Regex will be the best solution. We can use the same script for everything. This is my first time working with Regex, I got it actually extracting the very first ip[proxy]. I have no idea why it isn't extracting every one on the page. I also have to add the . in between each each octave of the ip. That is weird because I have it in the Regexpession to find the .'s.What I'm Needing is for this to basically scan the whole page and grab all the ipsorts and add them to a listbox.Here is my

Has anyone created a regex that matches each of the cell references in a given Excel formula? I'm trying to extract a list of cell references into an ArrayList from a provided Excel formula. Ideally, the ArrayList would also preserve any cross-tab or cross-workbook reference information. The key is for the regex to be compatible with any potential Excel formula, as the formula will change with each use.This seems to capture cross-workbook references:
'[.+'!($?[A-Z]+$?[0-9]+(:$?[A-Z]+$?[0-9]+))

View 4 RepliesThis may take some explaining but the concept is pretty simple. A user will select a file which contains data that they wish to extract from, so keeping it simple they pick a file like so:
[Code]....
So, I need to show the user the file, allow them to select a line to match and/or extract from. So they select the first line ready for a match, they then select a word/s to mark as a constant for matching, so in this case it would be: MyGroup A simple version for text match would be like "MyGroup *" Now, I need to convert this to regex dynamically (I assume its the best method), its not a one off, the data that is selected is all open and up to user selection. There could be multiple selections and multiple extractions on the same line!
