Regex :: How To Parse String (Similar To Path)

Mar 4, 2010

I have a string that is similar to a path, but I have tried some regex patterns that are supposed to parse paths and they don't quite work.

Here's the string
f|MyApparel/Templates/Events/
I need the "name parts" between the slashes.
I tried (w+) but the array came back [0] = "f" and [1] = "f".
I tested the pattern on [URL] and it seems to work correctly.

Here's the AS code:
var pattern : RegExp = /(w+)/g;
var hierarchy : Array = pattern.exec(params.category_id);
params.name = hierarchy.pop() as String;

Regex :: Parse A ICalendar File In ActionScript

Mar 19, 2010

I use a library to parse an iCalendar file, but I don't understand the regex to split property. iCalendar property has 3 different style:

BEGIN:VEVENT
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20080402
RRULE:FREQ=YEARLY;WKST=MO

The library uses this regex that I would like to understand:

var matches:Array = data.match(/(.+?)(;(.*?)=(.*?)((,(.*?)=(.*?))*?))?:(.*)$/);
p.name = matches[1];
p.value = matches[9];
p.paramString = matches[2];

Regex :: Use The String.match Method To Find Multiple Occurrences Of The Same Word In A String?

May 25, 2010

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

ActionScript 2.0 :: Parse Out Url String Using The String Object In Flash?

Jan 13, 2005

I'm creating a CMS(Content Management System) tool so that users can change text and the changes be reflected in a text window in flash . The text that the user enters in the CMS tool will be stored in the database.

In flash I want to parse the string that I get from the database and look for URL strings that start with http "http://www.someurl.com" and parse out that substring.

For example the string could be "Please vist my site at http://www.site.com". I would want to parse out the http://www.site.com

If I find this url string I want to pre-pend the a href tag <a> and append the closing </a> tag to the string so that this link will be clickable from the textfield.

Does flash have an object that deals with Regular Expressions? I've looked at the String object in flash but not sure how to achieve this task

Regex :: Replacing Segments Of A String?

Jun 6, 2011

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:

Regex :: AS3 - Getting X And Y Value Of Matched String In TextField

Jul 13, 2011

I have a text field within Flash that contains a block of (obviously) text. What I want to do is perform a search on the content of the text field that returns the x & y coordinate and the width & height of the found text. The result will be used to place a visual element over that portion of the text box.

For example:
var pattern:RegExp = /d+/g;
var found:Array = box.text.match(pattern);
var i:String;
for each(i in found) {
/**
* Find the x, y, width, height of the matched text in the text field
* Use result to place transparent yellow box around text
*/
}

Regex :: Flash - Detect Links In A String?

Nov 16, 2009

I am trying to find the generic links in strings. I've found a very handy regex on RegExr, in the community expressions:

(https?://)?(www.)?([a-zA-Z0-9_%]*).[a-z]{2,4}(.[a-z]{2})?((/[a-zA-Z0-9_%]*)+)?(.[a-z]*)?(:d{1,5})?

I tried to use it and it returns null, although the same string tested on RegExr works fine:

var linkRegEx:RegExp = new RegExp("(https?://)?(www.)?([a-zA-Z0-9_%]*).[a-z]{2,4}(.[a-z]{2})?((/[a-zA-Z0-9_%]*)+)?(.[a-z]*)?(:d{1,5})?","g");
var link:String = 'generic links: www.google.com http://www.google.com google.com';

ActionScript 3.0 :: String.split() Using Regex Not Working

May 12, 2011

I rarely use regular expressions and still have a hard time reading/writing them sometimes (getting better, though), but I came across a situation where I needed to split up sentences in a text file and store each sentence as a separate item in an array.

To do this, I have tried to use the split() function by passing it a regex to detect ends of sentences... for most cases, anyway, which includes ., !, or ?, optionally followed by " or )

Here's what I've created:

Code:
sentencesArray = textOriginal_txta.text.split(/(?<=(w[.!?]"?)?))s(?=((?"?[A-Z]))/);

(What this code does is split on condition of a blank space but only where it finds a preceding/prefix that includes end punctuation, plus a lookahead/suffix that contains the beginning of a sentence, such as a capital letter)

The problem is that this doesn't seem to work. It works like a charm when I test it in Expresso free regex writing and testing software), but then when I try to send it to the split, it doesn't split the items. Do I need to do escapes for special characters when sending regex input to a split?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Parse String For A-Z,a-z,0-9 Only

Aug 23, 2009

good function for parsing a string in as3 to remove all characters that are not alphanumeric (and ideally being able to add a few more characters such as _ )

I want to use it to check user input before sending it to PHP (which checks it as well but I would like to have the user side ie flash check it first).

I am sure I could write it by creating an array of the characters I want it limited to and working through each character in the user input and removing those that don't match; but this seems slow and cumbersome.

Alternatively passing it to PHP and having that use its string functions to check then pass back to flash; but I would rather it done purely on the Flash side.
