Using string.replace function what code that can replace spaces with comma

I need a AS3 regular expression that allows me to find/replace in strings like these:
[Code]...
I want to be able to replace the spaces at the beginning (inside the > <) for other character. It shouldn't affect the number of character at the right of the spaces or the attributes in the value1 definition.
find the suitable regular expression to validate a string that has comma separated numbers, for e.g. '1,2,3' or '111,234234,-09', etc. Anything else should be considered invalid. for e.g. '121as23' or '123-123' is invalid. I suppose this must be possible in Flex using regular expression but I can not find the correct regular expression.

For a multiple choice questions, I would like to format text like this :

I tried with 3 labels in horizontal layout for each lines but it doesn't work for the third case.Now I use tabStops for alignment, it work well, but I can't find how to replace spaces by dots in a proper way.
I've a regex that matches comma separated numbers with an optional two digit decimal part in a given multiline text.
/(?<=s|^)d{1,3}(,d{3})*(.d{2})?(?=s|$)/m
It matches strings like 1, 12, 12.34, 12,345.67 etc successfully. How can I modify it to match a number with only the decimal part like .23?
EDIT: Just to clarify - I would like to modify the regex so that it matches 12, 12.34 and .34
And I am looking for 'stand alone' valid numbers. i.e., number-strings whose boundaries are either white space or start/end of line/string.
ActionScript Code: var dataString:String = "Hello, this is me, I am a cow."; var lastoccurence:int = dataString.lastIndexOf(","); trace (lastoccurence); //Returns 17. How to I replace character (17,1), meaning the "," with "" ?
View 7 RepliesI've got a textfield with a bunch of punctuation which is always surrounded by spaces. So that for instance: I don't recall saying 'pick up the boot' or 'now is the time'. But it's possible , so I may have. What is the regular expression syntax to get rid of these spaces? I'm working in actionscript. It's actually both leading and trailing, as you can see from the above example.
View 1 RepliesI need to replace multiple contiguous new line/line feed characters in flex with a single new line character.
Example:
The string
"My name is blah blah
My name is blah
"
Should be converted to
"My name is blah blah
My name is blah
"
Hope the example makes it easier to understand.
I am using a component to render it.
I guess using regex would be the easiest way to do this, but still it would be great if people can point me out to references/examples to get this done with ease.
I am using flex 4.5.
what is the best Regular Expression code to transform StringA to StringB? StringA: III Class (1, 7, 9 and 4). IV Class 6, 8, 3. I Class 2-8 StringB: 3rd Class 1,7,9,4;4th Class 6,8,3;1st Class 2-8

I'm trying to work with RegEx to split a large string into smaller sections, and as part of this I'm trying to replace all instances of a substring in this larger string. I've been trying to use the replace function but this only replaces the first instance of the substring. How can I replace al instances of the substring within the larger string?
View 3 RepliesI can't seem to find anything that would let me to easily show a Number in a label, textinput, etc. with comma separation.
like in a label, show number 123456.78 as 123,456.78
[Bindable]
private var num:Number = 123456.78;
<mx:Label text={num} />
Obviously I could just create a function, but is there a more simple way?
Ok perhaps ive bitten off too much here...I know you are not supposed to parse xml/html to regex but the thing is there just arent many other options.Im using AS3.im parsing the source of textflowlayout text to a different format.
string to parse :
< fontFamily=Verdana encoding=unicode fontWeight="bold"> some text < fontFamily=Verdana encoding=unicode > some text < fontFamily=Arial encoding=unicode fontStyle="italic"> some text < fontFamily=Arial encoding=unicode fontWeight="bold" fontStyle="italic"> some text
what i really need is:
< fontname=Verdanabold encoding=unicode> some text < fontname=Verdana encoding=unicode > some text < fontname=Arialitalic encoding=unicode > some text < fontname=Arialbolditalic encoding=unicode > some text
logically i think of it as taking apart the string into substrings
checking if there are fontWeight or fontStyle in the substring
if there is then appending the font name with the weight or style so so that the font name becomes font NameWeightStyle.then rebuilding the string.The font could be any font with variouse styles or weights..so far:
pattern = /<(.*?)>/gixsm;
var matches:Object = pattern.exec(str);
var finalstring:String = "";[code]...........
Is it possible to configure Flash Builder 4 to indent using spaces instead of tabs?
I've enabled Preferences > General > Editors > Text Editors > Insert spaces for tabs but it still inserts tabs. I've tried editing files with no tabs but it still inserts tabs.
What's strange is that Insert spaces for tabs works in Eclipse but not Flash Builder, which is built on Eclipse. Perhaps there's a bug in Adobe's portion of Flash Builder.
I'm running Flash Builder 4.0.0.272416 on Mac OS X 10.6.
I'm feeling overgoogled atm, but still can't find any solution. I have font "Futura" with "Condensed Medium" style, actually 4 styles - "Medium, Italic, Condensed Medium, Condensed ExtraBold". However, when I embed it at runtime, it embeds just "Medium" style of font.
Embedding with code:

View 2 RepliesI've written a url validator for a project I am working on. For my requirements it works great, except when the last part for the url goes longer than 22 characters it breaks. My expression:/((https?)://)([^s.]+.)+([^s.]+)(:d+/S+)/i
It expects input that looks like "http(s)://hostname:port/location". When I give it the input: https://demo10:443/111112222233333444445
it works, but if I pass the input https://demo10:443/1111122222333334444455
it breaks. You can test it out easily at[URL].. Oddly, I can't reproduce the problem with just the relevant (I would think) part /(:d+/S+)/i. I can have as many characters after the required / and it works great. Any ideas or known bugs?

For example I've got string /wiki/File:test.JPG I should check if it has one of extention "jpeg","jpg","png","gif"
Currently I've written that link.search(/.[j,p,g][p,i,n][e,g,f][g]?/gi) and it is works, but I'd like better regular expression.
what is the use of flag variable in the flex RegExpValidator. what I am to do is to create a validator that can provide variety of error messages as in EmailValidator
View 1 RepliesI'm doing something wrong but I have a textarea where I've specified textAlign = center and if I type in text with several trailing spaces, it doesn't count the spaces towards centering the text. If I add another character to the text (after all the spaces) it then all of a sudden centers the line, is this a bug, can anybody think of a good solution?
To replicate:
-Create a textArea
-Set textAlign=center
Run the application and type in something like 'FOOBAR' followed by 10 spaces, note that it centers FOOBAR but stops centering the text while you're typing the spaces Now type another string like 'WTF', now it'll all of a sudden center the whole line.
I want the validator for password text input.
At least one Upper case letter
At least one numeric character
At least one special character such as @, #, $, etc.
should be there in password how can i give it in action script or mxml.
i want to check in Adobe AIR if given regex is valid. I'm looking for somtehing similar like here: How to check if a given Regex is valid?
I dont want to compare regex and text-value - i jus want to check if this regex is valid. If someone type invalid regex - for example: "x{5,-3}" or "(((^^$$$)//)" or something like this i just need to communicate to him that this regular expression is not valid - its not proper regular expression.
In Java it can be done by:

try {
Pattern.compile(userInputPattern);
} catch (PatternSyntaxException exception) {

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'
