View 3 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?

so im trying to figure out regular expressions in Flex, but cant for the life of me figure out how to do the following.From the sample below, i need to extract out only "Mike_Mercury".So i have to somehow strip out everything around it with RegExp, or whatever's best. Also, I would need it to work with other samples as well. Im getting this from the reddit api, so id have to extract that same section from a whole bunch of these.

I'm trying to find the number of newlines in a string using the Actionscript 3.0 RegExp engine. Using the string.match function and RegExp(" ","g") does not find the newlines in a string which contains newlines. Is there something I need to add to the pattern or something else that I am missing?
View 1 Repliesgive 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.
View 2 RepliesAfter 2 nights of *almost* getting it I realized that Flash's RegExp doesn't support lookbehinds. Here are the 3 scenarios:
1) [URL]
2) <a href="http://example.com">http://example.com</a>
3) <br><br>http://example.com<br><br>
Basically what I want to happen is to ignore scenario #2. I know the solution, but I can't seem to nail it. All that needs to happen is to select the http (and everything after that) as long as it's not preceded by a "> or =", but since I don't know a way for RegExp to look backwards, I'm sort of at a loss. Here's hoping that someone has run into this issue before
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);

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.

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?
I have a situation where I might be getting one or both of a pair of characters and I want to match either.
For example: str = 'cddd a dfsdf b sdfg ab uyeroi'
I want to match any "a" or "b" or "ab". If the "ab" comes together I want to catch it as a single match (not as two matches "a" "b"). If I get "ab" it will always be in that order ("a" will always precede "b")
What I have is: /[ab]|ab/
But I'm not sure if the ab is going to be a stronger match term than the [ab].
use regular expression. i want to remove content between html tags.example:
Quote: This is test content <img display='false' src="angry.gif"> image. </img>.i want to remove all the image tag which have display attribute false.
I'm writing a HTML parser in Flex (AS3) and I need to remove some HTML tags that are not needed.
For example, I want to remove the divs from this code:
<div>

i'm having a bit of an issue with a multilanguage little flash chatprogram. It has a input textfield, the right fontdata and characters are embedded, but slovenian users can't input some chars Although it works when they copy/paste text into the inputfield, then the characters show and all seems well. But actually typing them seems to fail. So i know it's not the infamous wmode bug.
View 2 RepliesBasically I am using UTF-8 characters codes u0000 to u0008 as part of a socket server.I need a little regex pattern to replace these chars with somthing like a $ symbol to make them really obvious (while tracing output etc..).I believe it should be something like:
Code:
filter:RegExp = new RegExp("[u0000u0001u0002u00..]");
myNewString = myString.replace(filter, "%")
I have to validate a textfield in AS3 if there are chars like # $ % @ ~ | {} [] / etc. i.e find unnecessary chars and remove them from the textfield. I use a search AS3 function which works with regular expressions, I would like a regular expression so that a search function searches the characters above and if it finds any of them then returns true.
View 2 RepliesI'm running a flash game on asp.net frame. The flash is sending parameters to some asp.net page that save those parameters to a database. My problem is that if the parametrs contain special chars (Russian, Arabic...) then those chars are transform to question marks (?) I've tried to urldecode the parameters but without
The parameters that sent from the Flash are in unicode format and are urlencoded.
The asp.net code is:

I'm trying to display htmltext from xml file in my dynamic text field.I used: dynamic_ txt. htmltext=textFromXML;I embedded the fonts Latin 1, Latin Extended A, because I want to display characters like "�", "�", " is space and it displays correctly, but "¡" which is "�" displayes "¡" so that does not work.
View 2 RepliesI'm sending an xml file from flash to php, so php can save it to the servers filesystem.It works great, except when there's a node with a special char like a quote in it.My actionscript code is like this:
Code:
xmlExport.xmlDecl = "xml=";
xmlExport.sendAndLoad("xmlexport.php", xmlExportStatus);
And my php code is like this:
PHP Code:
fwrite($handle, stripslashes(urldecode($_POST['xml'])));
Both somewhat simplified, but this is what matters I think.I'm not sure about the urldecode part, but I've got this problem always, no matter if I use it or not.I've traced the xml object, and I see that the quote is converted to ' then. That's great, but when php writes it, it stops there, so I end with only half of an xml file.
I'm creating a chat app and I would like to if someone enters a url that it turn color and turn into a hyperlink. I am not sure how to write the regular expression. I guess the approach would be to check for "http://" or "www." or ".com" ?
View 0 RepliesI'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 a string "4 + x + 5" and i want to change the x to 1x When using a regular expression for x i end up in an endless loop because when the x is changed to 1x, the regular expression finds the x in 1x and applies it to that Is there anyway of making is skip the next character? Here is my code:

I'm having a problem converting a regular expression from Python into Flex. My string is something like this:

Python matches just fine:

match always ends up null. What am I doing wrong? I'm sure it's obvious to a seasoned Flex programmer...
