So I'd like to remove all spaces from an input text box, and replace them with commas, and I'd like to learn how to do this with RegExp, which I've never before used.This doesn't work (though if I do s.search(re) it returns the first space):
Code:
var s:String = searchTerms.text;
var re:RegExp = /s/g;

How to convert a string to a regular expression? Right now if I try to convert a string to a regexp, the regular expression ends up with a / in front and a /g in the back.
View 5 RepliesIn the below code if i replace st2 into the pattern of regexp without quotes, it works fine.Now since i get the regular expression from some other file, as it is shown in st2. I want to add that into the regexp pattern. But as in the below code it doesnt work.
<fx:Script>
import mx.controls.Alert
public function onClicking(){
[code].....
ActionScript Code:
input.text = "[URL]";
function PlayVideo(event:MouseEvent):void {
switch (event.type) {
case "click":
var findVideo:RegExp = /(?<=?v=)([a-zA-Z0-9_-])+/;
trace(findVideo.exec(input.text));
break;
}}
I don't know what video this is (just picked it randomly off of the front page), but by clicking a button, the RegExp is called, looks for an ID in the input.text String, but when it does and I trace it, it gives me this:
ActionScript Code:

What's with the ,4? How do I get rid of that?

I'm having an issue with RegExp. I have a string variable equal to "1 + 2 + 3 + 4". I'm trying to use RegExp to replace that string inside another string, however the plus signs are causing it to not be recognized. If I take the plus signs out, it works. If I replace the plus signs with minus signs, it works. I know + means something in an expression, is there a way I can get flash to ignore it and keep the + sign in there?
View 2 RepliesI would like to be able to replace a section of a string with a dash. The section being replaced will be variable.

trace( str.replace(pattern,"-"));
I would like the result to trace:

View 9 RepliesWhat I am trying to do is take a string of numbers and convert it into an array, while cutting out the non-digits. Here is the format:1.0000000e+000 1.3668423e+000 1.0000000e+000 1.3668423e+0001.0000000e+000 1.3668423e+000So it's basically: Space, Space, Digit, Space, Space, Digit, NewlineRight now I am using the following code (myString is a String, and dataSet1 is an Array):
var reg:RegExp = new RegExp("

myString = textLoader.data;dataSet1 = myString.split(reg);

I I have an alpha-numeric string as a variable. I would like to extract (from left to right) all of the numbers from the string and then push them into an array. Below, is what I have going so far, but it stops after the first number it meets. I was under the impression that the RegExp.exec runs through the entire string before stopping.
var testMenu:RegExp = /d/;
var whichTarget:String = me.target.name[code]..........
when I trace my array, it is just filled with the first number that is encountered. So, in the two examples above the array beomes [1] (when the string that is executed is "menu1sub2hypo3" and then [3] when the string that is executed is "menu3sub4hypo8". It craps out after the first number is reached.What I really want is that the array gets filled with [1, 2, 3] in the first example and [3, 4, 8] in the second example. How in Helsinki would I do that? Does the exec function need to be looped in any way?
Not so important right now but thinking a little down the line: what regular expression would I need to find "25" instead of just "2" if I run this RegExp.exec on a string that may look like this "menu25sub3hypo6"?
What would be the best way to simply take a string like
var myString:String = "Thi$ i$ a T#%%Ible Exam73@";
and make myString = "thiiatibleeam";
or another example
var myString:String = "Totally Awesome String";
and make myString = "totallyawesomestring";
I have absolutely no knowledge in Regex whatsoever. Basically what I'm trying to do is have an error class that I can use to call errors (obviously) which looks like this:
package avian.framework.errors

public class AvError extends Object

The idea is to replace {0} with the first parameter parsed in ...params, {1} with the second, etc.
I've done a bit of research and I think I've worked out that I need to search using this pattern:

When using SOAP web services in Flash Builder, I am able to use the web services tool and test making service calls without any issue.I can pass strings that contain spaces, double and single quotes with great success. when I write code to send a string containing spaces or quotes, the web service doesn't return a success response.If I remove the quotes and/or spaces, success.I've tried wrapping the string in tags, but I don't know what else to do.

I'm working with some Action Script file and I found this:

I know it's a regular expression and that exec() is looking for my pattern in my string. But how should I understand this pattern?
Using Actionscript 3.0 (Within Flash CS5)A standard regex to match any digit is:
var myRegexPattern:Regex = /d/g;
What would the regex look like to incorporate a string variable to match?(this example is an 'IDEAL' not a 'WORKING' snippet) ie:
var myString:String = "MatchThisText"
var myRegexPatter_WithString:Regex = /d[myString]/g;
I've seen some workarounds which involve creating multiple regex instances, then combine them by source, with the variable in question, which seems wrong. OR using the flash string to regex creator, but it's just plain sloppy with all the double and triple escape sequences required.There must be some pain free way that I can't find in the live docs or on google.

View 1 RepliesI've had some problems with FMS crashing when trying to execute or compile large regular expressions. This is the most easily reproducible scenario:
var patterns = [];
for(var iter = 0; iter < Math.pow(2, 16); iter++)
{
patterns.push('a');
}
var filter = new RegExp('('+patterns.join('|')+')', 'i');
2^16 dies, 2^16 - 1 works fine. Understandable that it crashes with such a big RegExp, but the problem I have with FMS is that the error messages are useless when it crashes. "Experienced 1 failure(s)!" is all I get. So my question is; can we get better debug info when FMS crashes?
I am getting an error with RegExp class at my flash document. I am using an Action Script 2.0 at my document. Is RegExp class is not supported in AS1/AS2 ?
My code is as follows
function validateEmailAddress(emailString:String):Boolean {

var myResult:Object = myRegEx.exec(emailString);
if(myResult == null) {return false;}return true;
} if(validateEmailAddress(email) == false) {
contacterror = "Error ! Please Enter Valid Email Address";}
If RegExp not supported in ActionScript 2.0 then how to validate email address at ActionScript 2.0 ?
