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

Regex :: Flex - Matching Strings That Begin And End With The Same Character

Oct 28, 2009

I need to match a string that begins and ends with the same character in flex...I know the long hand way (RE being - "a[^(a")]a" | "b[^(b")b" | etc...), but I'm positive this isn't what I'm required to do (midterm tomorrow!);

I need to do this in flex, but if you can think of a short regex for it, I may be able to convert it to flex notation.

What I was thinking of was something along the lines of -

%%
int firstChar;
%x string;
%%

[Code].....

But this bugs me in a few ways, first, having that variable makes this not a regular language; second, I don't know if you can even use a variable to in a pattern match; and third, I don't know how NOT to match it, if it's just a normal string. And third, I don't know how to return everything that's been matched while in 'string'

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.

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';

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;

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?

Regex :: Evaluate String Of HTML And Split Into Individual Values

Apr 26, 2011

I have piece of ActionScript code which is supposed to evaluate a string of HTML and break it up into individual pieces. So a string like <p>Hi</p><span>Hi</span><a href="index.php">Hi</a> would be translated into:

1. <p>Hi</p>
2. <span>Hi</span>
3. <a href="index.php">Hi</a>
...

However, when I run a test version of this code, I get a value of null in return. I'm pretty sure my regexp string is good, but I'm doing something wrong in ActionScript. My code is below:
var evaluatedInput:RegExp = new RegExp('/<([A-Z][A-Z0-9]*)[^>]*>(.*?)</1>/');
var output:Object = evaluatedInput.exec("<p>Hi</p><span>Hi</span><a href="index.php">Hi</a>");
trace(output);
