I'm trying to use regular expressions with the String.replace() method to manipulate a string to replace all instances of a forward slash "/" with a period "."
So for instance, if I start with this String:
"things/stuff/cheese/yum"
I want to convert it to:
"things.stuff.cheese.yum"
Easy enough if I want to replace a letter... let's say I wanted to replace all instances of the letter "e", I would do this:
Code:
var str:String = "things/stuff/cheese/yum";
var myPattern:RegExp = /e/g;
trace(str.replace(myPattern, "."));
// returns: "things/stuff/ch..s./yum"
... but how do I replace all instances of "/"??

I've been struggling with this problem for a while:I have a string containing HTML and I'm using a regular expression to get the characters between the tags. I'm then attempting to apply a TextFormat to those characters.The problem is that I'm using the TextField's "htmlText" property instead of it's "text" property (because I don't want the HTML tags to be visible). So, the character index that's returned from the regular expression is incorrect, when I apply the TextFormat.Here is some sample code which illustrates the problem:
var txt:String = "<b>Sample</b> string with bold text";
var tf:TextField = new TextField();
addChild(tf);

I have to parse out color information from HTML data. The colors can either be RGB colors or file names to a swatch image. I used [URL] to develop and test the patterns. I copied the AS regular expression code verbatim from the tool into Flex Builder. But, when I exec the pattern against the string I get a null. Here are the patterns and an example of the string (I took the correct HTML tags out so the strings would show correctly):

I need 3 different regular expressions one that finds at the beginning of the string a 'D' and a space then a name, so 'D patrickgates hello there' would return 'D patrickgates', or if all possible would return just 'patrickgates' one that will find the @ sign and a name together anywhere in the string so '@patrickgates hello, world' would work and return '@patrickgates' or if at all possible would return just 'patrickgates' one that will find 'RT' and a space and then '@' and the username at the beginning of the string so 'RT @patrickgates' would work if returning just the username and also being true isn't possible with one regex, then I could use one to match to, and one that will delete the 'D' or the '@' or the 'RT'.

I need to convert Java regular expressions into Actionscript regular expressions. There apparently aren't any premade converters, so I'm trying to write one myself. Is there any resource that'd list all the differences? I'm aware of regular-expressions.info, but there doesn't seem to be a comprehensive listing of differences there.

I have two strings.One looks like this.
Code:
[12] => Array ( [type] => 2 [name] => Width [value] => 3 )
The other looks like this.
Code:
[13] => Array ( [type] => 7 [name] => Blocks [value] => Array (
[0] => 4
[1] => 4[code].....
In those two strings, I need the Width value and the Block id value. Since the Width only has one value, I am going to put it in an int while the Block values are going into a Vector. Now...how in the world do I get the necessarily information out of this mess.

I am trying to find if a substring (pattern) is included in a string (path). I use the search method of String class, but if my pattern string includes regular expressions special characters (i.e. ()$), the search function returns (-1). How can I escape these characters?
Code:
// with path="hello$world" and pattern="hello$" this returns -1
function checkPath (pattern:String):int
{
var reg:RegExp = new RegExp(pattern);
return path.search(reg);
}

I'm using regular expression to search word in a string, for example
var patrn:RegExp = new RegExp("\bit's\b");
var str:String = "Heres my problem in it and it's so help me guys.";
trace(patrn.exec(str)); //result is null
My problem is I can't search the data in a string which has special character like ('/,/.). What regular expression string is capable solving my problem?

give me the Regular Expression that can check if a given string has any HTML code in it, and coming to think of it I would be bothered with <a href="something">something</a> exactly.

to restrict the maximum number of characters on a TextField by applying the maxChars to 30. This call exists before applying the html text to the TextField. For some reason nothing happens.textfield.maxChars = 30;var str:String = "<p><h3>Quisque id velit risus, vitae dictum sapien.</h3><p>Fusce aliquam nunc id risus lobortis in malesuada mi pellentesque.

I'm trying to create a replace method that allows me to surround parts of a string with tags. I tried this with a regular replace technique (join and split) but thats case sensitive. what i want is:
: "A nice example line"
and replace "Ice" in that line to surround it with bold tags, result:
text: "A n<b>ice</b> example line"
ActionScript Code:
var str:String = "A nice example line";
var pattern:RegExp = /(w+)-(w+)/gi;
trace(str.replace(pattern, "$2,$1"));
But i just can't figure out the replace pattern

I have this text "my text is <b>bold</b> and regular".
I want "<b>bold</b>" to be... well, let's say... bold !
I have a mask layer under which there is a text field.
The text field shows htmlText, and i must embed chars. If not embedded, it doesn't display because of the mask. So the solution of importing 2 user fonts ( one bold and one regular) does not work.

My HTML tags are not working in a dynamic text box. Im guessing it is cause of the scrolling and maybe it dosn't see <br> so it dosn't allow them. This is the code i am using below.
TextField.prototype.maxviewable = function(){
if(this.maxscroll>1) return this.bottomScroll;
var b = (this.html) ? this.bottomScroll-1 : this.bottomScroll;
if (!this.length) this.text = ">>";

I have managed to get rid of unwanted line breaks and returns in the RSS text I am bringing in to populate my dynamic text fields. The Dynamic Text fields are set up not to render text as html, are multiline and have the fonts embedded. I keep seeing things like, <p style=""> at the beginning of the story or <THI.TO> in the middle of the story. Is there any way of deleting anything that appears as <anything> and replace with a space? Here is the code I am currently using to eliminate the line breaks. Also is there any way of turning hyphenation on?

We have invalid characters in text fields ie: <p> tags, when loading data from a local object (even though the text field is set to render as HTML) ?
Questions:
1) has anyone encountered this before?
2) know of a work around?
3) find/replace script we can run through the local object to replace the any <p> tags arising?

I am loading some text into a dynamic text field from an external text file using the methods described on kirupa's tutorials. I want to be able to bold some text, and make some other text links, using html...
I thought it might work if I just added the html tags to the text file, and the chose to render the dynamic text field as html..but the tags don't do anything, and are still read in as normal text.
