How would I write if I want to check if the beginning of a string match my request? Something like this but with real code
if(myString doesn't start with "http://"){
doSomething;
}
My question concerns the following tutorial I've been working through:Building a Flex Type-Ahead Text Input
I was successful in enabling a search of available terms using the characters entered in the input, but only irrespective of the location of the characters in the terms. However, I am wondering how one might have the characters match only the beginning of the terms.
For example, suppose I enter the string "app" into the text input. How can I get only "apple" and not, for instance, "pineapple" to appear as an option?
I need to check whether the string doesnt match any number of space characters, or tab.

In Actionscript and Adobe Flex, I'm using a pattern and regexp (with the global flag) with the string.match method and it works how I'd like except when the match returns multiple occurrences of the same word in the text. In that case, all the matches for that word point only to the index for the first occurrence of that word. For example, if the text is "cat dog cat cat cow" and the pattern is a search for cat*, the match method returns an array of three occurrences of "cat", however, they all point to only the index of the first occurrence of cat when i use indexOf on a loop through the array. I'm assuming this is just how the string.match method is. I want to find the specific indices of every occurrence of a match, even if it is of a word that was already previously matched.
how the string.match method is and if so

If you have an array with six numbers, say: public var check:Array = new Array[10,12,5,11,9,4]; or public var check:Array = new Array[10,10,5,11,9,4]; How do you check for a match (of a pair?)
View 2 RepliesI have a flash file that sends some request to php file every 5 minutes. How can I check if the request from flash file has been sent from my website or from other place. I want to be shure that someone is not sending requests from other locations. It is very important for security reasons. Will the following PHP code work?
if(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']))
{
$user_ip=$_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'];

Code:
var s:String = '%include %unquote(&open.gtestit&close);';
var re:RegExp = /([%&]?w+)/g;
var a:Array = s.match(re);
trace(a.join('
'));
I'm splitting the string up into words (w) where the word might have an optional % or & in front of it. The output is what I expect:
Code:
%include
%unquote
&open
gtestit
&close
Is there a way to get the index of each matched string in one call? I know I can walk the original string using the resulting array and get indexes, but was hoping there was something similar to MATCH(). Something like:
Code:
var array:Array = s.index_match(re);
and the results would be:
Code:
array[0] = 0
array[1] = 9
array[2] = 18
array[3] = 24
array[4] = 31

I've gotten stuck on some issue using AS3 and RegEx. I'm trying to use a RegEx var to match out the ends of a mathematical expressions out of a string. But for some reason, the RegEx only matches the first expression and ignores the one after the conditional.

How to compare a string with strings inside an array for a match? I have a file in which each sentence (or word) (generally string) is present in a new line. Opened the file and read the contents to a string.
Code:
private function readHandler(event:Event):void{
_str = _readStream.readUTFBytes(_readStream.bytesAvailable);
_strArray = _str.split(" "); //contains each string that appears in a new line
_length = _strArray.length;
[Code] .....
But this doesn't work. Seems like if(_input == _strArray[i]) never gets executed even if they are equal. What might be the problem. Is there some better way to so it?

This POST request was sent by a Flash (.swf) object, so it's a little bit complicated in configuring the header.It does not print out anything in the end, so there must be something wrong with PHP code that I could not see.Here is what WireShark captured:
POST /engine/ HTTP/1.1

I have a regular expression in my code. What I want it to do is to check user input. This input should be a string of 9 numbers with spaces between them. So for example "1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9" should return true, but also "123 45 2765 23 3456 23 5 456 1" should be true. [code]My problem is that if the strong with number is longer, the usual test method still returns a true. Is there a way to check if the string is longer then this?
