Parsing RTF for extracting the included formating style names

regpet — Fri, 03 May 2013 09:19:51 GMT

Hi,

I need a pattern for extracting the names of the style which are included in the rtf. The syntax inside the rtf looks a foolowing (for a better explaining I've included some line breaks and indents.)

{\fonttbl
{\stylesheet
    {\*\cs10\additive Default Paragraph Font;}
    {\*\cs17\additive\sbasedon10 FormatCharacter;}
    {\s18\itap0\nowidctlpar\tx15876\f0\fs24\sbasedon0\snext0 FormatParagraph;}
    {\s18\itap0\nowidctlpar\tx15876\f0\fs24\sbasedon0\snext12 This is my Header 1;}
}
\deftab1134\paperw12240\paperh15840\margl20736\widowctrl\formshade\sectd
}

My regex to find out the names and which works is: (?<=\\(snext|sbasedon)\d+\s)([\w\s]+)(?=;}). But how can I find out the stylesheet area, which begins with "{\stylesheet" and ends with the corresponding closing braket "}"?

Parsing html input value attribute

blarg — Mon, 22 Apr 2013 09:02:24 GMT

HTML Input may or may not have value attribute which may or may not have actual value. Sample subject string

I want the value attribute parsed and returned whenever it's available along with type and name attributes.

I searched forum and the results are not fulfilling my requirement. Hence I posted a new thread.

My regex is : <input type=\"([^\"]*?)\".*?(?=name=\"([^\"]*?)\")[^value]?(value=\"([^\"]*?)\")?

But it's not capturing the value part since I used ? at the end of the regex. Any help would be awesome.

linkify with a twist

SectionI — Mon, 04 Feb 2013 11:29:43 GMT

Hi,

I would like to replace all links that point to a page on facebook to have the text: "facebook page" and all other links should have the text: "website"

this is what i currently use to linkify:

Regex.Replace(pic.PictureDesc, @"((http|ftp|https):\/\/[\w\-_]+(\.[\w\-_]+)+([\w\-\.,@?^=%&:/~\+#]*[\w\-\@?^=%&/~\+#])?)","<a href=\"$1\" target=\"blank\">$1</a>")

if you could help me adjust for both rules.

thank you

match directory paths whose last name is numeric

gw1500se — Thu, 24 Jan 2013 16:56:57 GMT

I need an expression that will match a directory path only if the last directory name is all numeric [0-9]. I thought I knew how but I can't get anything to work. I know I need to anchor it to the end but I don't know how to get to the last / in the string. TIA.

/*\/[0-9]?$/

Something like that?

Difficulties Parsing part of a text

dfcastro — Fri, 14 Dec 2012 18:52:27 GMT

I have this string in bold 1 - Q254061 ( Prova: FCC - 2012 - TCE-AM - Analista de Controle Externo - Tecnologia da Informação / Modelagem de Processos de Negócio (BPM) /

BPMN (Bussines Process Modeling Notation) ; ) and I am trying to get only the part that corresponds to Prova: FCC - 2012 - TCE-AM - Analista de Controle Externo - Tecnologia da Informação

I am trying to figure out the regex to do that and so far I could not find it.

I tried with this kind of thought to build the regex (?!^((\d)*(\s[-]\s)(\s\(\s)))(([^/])*(?![/]\w).*)

First anchor the begin of the line with ^

Then build the expression that corresponds to 1 - Q254061 ( that is, or at least I think it is, \d\s[-]\sQ(\d){6,7}\s\(

Then negate everything until then using an exclusion group (?:^(\d\s[-]\sQ(\d){6,7}\s\())

Then build the expression for the next exclusion group that comes after the first / character - (?:^[/](.)*)

Then what I want to get from the expression - (.)*

And then put it together - (?:^(\d\s[-]\sQ(\d){6,7}\s\())(.)*(?:^[/](.)*)

But I get no match.

Where is my mistake?

How can I select the first 300 words of a value with regexp?

jiri2 — Sat, 01 Dec 2012 08:40:51 GMT

Can regexp do this? It's .NET regexp. I had an expression last night from stackexchange but seem to have lost it, and anyways it wasn't working. Imagine you have a value inside a table and you're extracting it and applying regexp to the extraction. And you want to select the first three hundred characters, in which there can be all sorts of things like line breaks, spaces, new paragraphs, non alphanumeric, and numbers, you name it, it's there, which is why extracting by line break is a bad idea, and only by character amount sounds the best way.

And what about an added twist. Can regexp, all on its own, not split the value at the the 300th word, but at the period sign that's closest to the 300th character? This second question easily has a much easier, though clumsier, solution; doing a second regexp to extract what's left of the sentence in the result, that's sitting say at the 310th character. But I'm wondering if anyone can envision a regexp where it all happens in one go?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Problems with line breaks

jiri2 — Wed, 21 Nov 2012 01:16:12 GMT

Hello. I'm having quite a few problems expressing line breaks in regex. I only know how to capture my text with a bunch of new lines that break the csv or tsv I try to create with it. When trying to capture:

--------------------------------------------------------------

<b><span class="h3color tiny">This review is from: </span><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Schindlers-List-VHS-Liam-Neeson/dp/6303168507/ref=cm_cr_pr_orig_subj/183-1056400-8295663">Schindler's List [VHS] (VHS Tape)</a></b>
</div>

Schindler's List is my favorite historical drama of all-time for a number of reasons. Not only is it a masterpiece from a cinematic point of view, but it is priceless for the story it tells to the world. <p>First of all, the acting is superb. Liam Neeson does well as Oskar Schindler, but in particular I liked Ben Kingsley (as Istak Stern, Schindler's accountant) and Ralph Fiennes (as Amon Goeth, the camp commandant). All of the performances were very convincing and reflect the good casting.</p><p></p><p>Another great feature of this film is the soundtrack. Slow, soaring music tells of the painful circumstances of the Jews and of their conflict with the Nazi regime. Mixed in with the instrumental pieces are Jewish melodies which also gave me a sense of the cultural traditions of the Jewish people. </p><p>From a technical point of view, the decision by director Spielberg to shoot the movie is black-and-white was a good one. In fact, I think it makes the movie better than it would have been in color. The few color segments throughout the movie are aptly placed and help to focus the viewer's attention on particular details through the eyes of Schindler. The scenery and photography were excellent compared to other movies I have seen and contribute to the whole atmosphere of the 1940s. Some people may be put off a bit by the length (over 3 hours) but believe me, every minute is worthwhile. Unlike other long movies, there are no lulls or useless scenes -- everything counts. </p><p>The best part of the movie without any doubt is the story itself, the tale of Oskar Schindler and how he was able to save 1100 Jews from the Auschwitz gas chambers by employing them in his enamelware factory and eventually his shelling factory. Schindler's ambition and personal success shines through amidst the Jewish tragedy and shows how one man, if he has the willpower, can accomplish what appears to be impossible. Based on the novel by Thomas Keneally (which I have not yet had the opportunity to read), this movie digs deep into the human soul and shows how different people are able to survive. </p><p>There are many touching moments in this film; in particular, near the end when the war has been declared over and the *** must flee from the Soviet army. This part and the modern-day segment that follows are both truly heart-warming tributes. I finished watching this movie for about the fourth time yesterday, and even though I didn't cry, tears welled up in my eyes (and this rarely happens when I watch movies). </p><p>This movie is a must-see not only for its excellence in the film genre but for the story it presents to the viewer. Although it is not suitable for young children (due to its violence and mature content), any mature individual should see it so they can understand that a spark of good can still exist in a fire of evil. This movie deserved all of the Academy Awards that it received and will likely remain in top ten lists for at least the next fifty years. Highly recommended.

I get three annoying lines above my article. Two of them are empty and one has the </div> mention. Below the article I also get another line break that further breaks up my expression. These line breaks go on to be interpreted by my script as line breaks in the csv or the text file I try to create.

I'm using .NET regex, and a regex builder to come up with the expressions. I would like the expression to target articles that are in this format, not this specific article only. I always lose myself in regex line breaks and expressions in general due to the amount of syntax involved, so would greatly appreciate any help, thanks.

The document is DOM HTML and it has spaces in front of some of its row, though not in front of the article's row. Below is my understanding of what the three rows coming before the article should look like but I clearly must be doing something wrong:

Marking Science Homework with a More Sophisticated Regex

RankAmateur — Sat, 24 Nov 2012 15:30:38 GMT

Hi,

I am using a Regex to mark science homework in a little online program. The Regex searches for keywords (and their alternatives), without them having to be in any particular order. The Regex also includes a search for forbidden words. This is the Regex, where A B C D stand for necessary words and Z for a forbidden word:

/^(?!.*?(Z))(?=.*?\b(A))(?=.*?\b(B))(?=.*?\b(C))(?=.*?\b(D)).{0,100}$/

This has worked fantastically well and I now have about 2,500 questions posted using this basic construction with an average marking accuracy of about 99% (Thanks to the genius who posted this for me some 2 years ago!!).

What I could do with is to be able to restrict the order of the keywords slightly. I can already fix them in A B C D order using .*?\b instead of ?=.*?\b . But what would be really useful is to link A with B and C with D so only the following would be allowed:

A B C D ; B A C D ; A B D C ; B A D C

I know I can simply do 4 Regexes, but this lacks elegance and I need more complex versions of the above (eg A B C D grouped separately from E and F). A good example of a use of this is a chemical equation where the reactants can be in any order and products can be in any order but you can't mix reactants with product in the equation.

Cheers

PS I don't really understand the above, so explanations need to be simple!

How to rename dates to a different format?

Srivas — Wed, 21 Nov 2012 10:38:42 GMT

Hi!

I want to use RegEx in Total Commander to rename files starting with dates to have different format. For example 2012-01-01 to be 2012.01.01

Dates are usually in the beginning of file names, but not always. Can it be possible to write a code to find the place with the date by itself and rename it accordingly?

How to do that?

Split SQL WHERE Clause

JHulse — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 01:58:07 GMT

I am pretty new to this Reg Exp stuff, but gaining more understanding every day. My ASP application is attempting to Split a WHERE clause on the " AND "s, but having no luck. I would also one day like to expand it to be able to split on " OR " but for now I settle with the baby step.

Expression: (\w+)\s*([<>=]+)\s*([^AND$]+)
Test Value: String='57846' AND Number=1 AND Date=#1/1/2008# AND Time=#1:34 PM# AND DATETIMED = #1/1/2008 1:34:25 PM# AND GTOE>=100 AND SpecialString='With Aposts And Spaces ''4'''

The matches return:
"String='57846' "
"Number=1 "
"Date=#1/1/2008# "
"Time=#1:34 PM# "
"DATETIMED = #1/1/2008 1:34:25 PM# "
"GTOE>=100 "
"SpecialString='With "

All returns are great, except for the last, which I need to be:
"SpecialString='With Aposts And Spaces ''4''"

Thanks for the help,

Jake

get recursion number or use result of group in later expression?

sergiozambrano — Mon, 15 Oct 2012 10:01:35 GMT

I need to match consecutive numbers, and repeat the same piece of regex as long as they keep incrementing, and what would really reduce my expression, 250+ characters long already! (or rather make it more elegant) would be to:

be able to use the result from one capture group in another expression later

to get the current iteration number and match other expressions against

PS: It HAS to be regex, not other programming involved.

example:

text 1 matches

text 2 matches

text 3 matches

text 6 doesn't match. end.

text 1 shouldn't even get here (or start over?)

- I know I can do it with nested conditionals, but I don't want to manually add one expression for each condition.

Strip HTTP links off of text - how?

SkyFrontier — Mon, 01 Oct 2012 21:56:52 GMT

Hi, people.

Using EditPad Pro, how do I extract http links, using regex?

I need to preserve those links, everything else must go.

'€' or '€' can be used as delimiters.

Thanks in advance...

Quick help with construction.

Persican — Wed, 26 Sep 2012 20:06:05 GMT

Hi everyone.

I'm trying to capture some group from this string:

"VA90-258 37.2997 -75.8333 13.3 VIRGINIA COAST"

For instance, I, using this regex
'\\S+\\d+\\-\\d+\\W+\\d+.\\d+\\W+\\d+.\\d+\\W+\\d+.\\d+\\W+\\S*'

which is certainly not elegant. Additionally, I fail to capture the last string VIRGINIA COAST. Once my regex is correct, I'll place place () to get 5 groups

VA90-258

37.2997

-75.8333

13.3

VIRGINIA COAST"

Any help would be appreciated.

With regards,

Phil

Need help with RegEx I am construcing

RandyHJ — Wed, 19 Sep 2012 15:17:12 GMT

I'm creating a validation RegEx for a textbox input control. My requirements are a six digit number that can begin with any numbers except '96'. So I could have 95 or 97 or any other combination of numbers in the first two positions, just not '96'. I have a regex for that part:

^([0-8][0-9]|(9[7-9]|9[0-5]))

What I need help with is making sure that the number is a minimum and maximum of six digits. That is the part that is eluding me.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Remove leading path and extension from filename

scooterregex — Tue, 08 Feb 2011 11:12:02 GMT

How can I extract a filename from a path construct, such as:

/a/very/long path/filename.ext1.ext => filename

my first one: valid french or Belgian Phone number

megakiek — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 10:02:20 GMT

they should match one of te following formats
+32(0)12 12 12 12
or
+33(0)1 12 12 12 12

So this is what i tried to make but it seems not correct

^(\+32|\+33)[\s,]{1}($0$)[0-9]{0,1}[\s,]{1}[0-9]{2}[\s,][0-9]{2}[\s,][0-9]{2}[\s,][0-9]{0,2}$

could someone give me some advice

Help for Belgian phone numbers validation with regexp

Geoffrey — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 13:02:24 GMT

Hello,

I'm really not a regexp expert. I tried studying on it, but I just don't succeed in producing my own working regexp... and I really need one to check for validity on Belgian phone numbers (both regular phone and cellphone numbers).

I have started from a regexp for us phone numbers on the site: http://regexlib.com/Search.aspx?k=phone, but the way Belgian phone numbers are entered on a web form is different from an US phone number.

In Belgian, regular phone numbers are 9 digits long, and they are entered as:

055 60 60 60, 02 555 56 56, 055/60 60 60, 055606060, 055/60.60.60, 055.60.60.60, 055 606 606, 055/606 606, 09/366 36 36

Cellphone numbers always start with 04, and are always 10 digits long:

0474 74 74 74, 0474 744 744, 0474/744 744, 0474.74.74.74, etc.

I really hope somebody could please help me with a working regexp... I'm already trying for some hours producing my own regexp, but unfortunately I just don't succeed... :(

Thanks a lot!!

Kind regards,

Geoffrey Beulque

Working but ugly UK phone number regex.

technicalbloke — Wed, 02 Feb 2011 05:36:41 GMT

Hi there,

I want to validate UK phone numbers which are always 11 chars starting with a zero. That part is simple however, I would like to permit the user to also enter whitespace and/or hyphens. Opinion differs on where those characters should go so I'm happy to allow the user to do whatever they feel like and simply strip those chars out later. All the following should pass...

07816924120

078 1692 4120, 078-1692-4120

0781 692 4120, 0781-692-4120

07816 924 120, 07816-924-120

07816 924120, 07816-924120 even...

0 7 8 1 6 9 2 4 1 2 0 or...

078-1692 4120

Essentially as long as there's 11 digits (no more, no less), no consecutive whitespaces or hyphens, the first digit is a zero and the second digit is a non-zero digit it should match, everything else should fail. Happily I can ignore country codes and suchlike.

I'm would like the same regex to work in both python and javascript.

The regex I have does work but it's very ugly/ repetitive...

^[ -]{0,1}0[ -]{0,1}[1-9][ -]{0,1}[0-9][ -]{0,1}[0-9][ -]{0,1}[0-9][ -]{0,1}[0-9][ -]{0,1}[0-9][ -]{0,1}[0-9][ -]{0,1}[0-9][ -]{0,1}[0-9][ -]{0,1}[0-9]$

Told you!

I'm assuming there's got to be a neater / more concise way of writing this, is that a fair assumption? and if so what's the trick?

Cheers,

Roger Heathcote
