Regex :: Using A Variable In Regexp?
Jul 11, 2011
Using Actionscript 3.0 (Within Flash CS5)A standard regex to match any digit is:
var myRegexPattern:Regex = /d/g;
What would the regex look like to incorporate a string variable to match?(this example is an 'IDEAL' not a 'WORKING' snippet) ie:
var myString:String = "MatchThisText"
var myRegexPatter_WithString:Regex = /d[myString]/g;
I've seen some workarounds which involve creating multiple regex instances, then combine them by source, with the variable in question, which seems wrong. OR using the flash string to regex creator, but it's just plain sloppy with all the double and triple escape sequences required.There must be some pain free way that I can't find in the live docs or on google.

I'm working with some Action Script file and I found this:
var pattern:RegExp = /.*//
var results:Array = pattern.exec(cardImageService.url);
I know it's a regular expression and that exec() is looking for my pattern in my string. But how should I understand this pattern?

I have a datagrid and a search field. I've set the change event of the search field to run the filterfunction of the datagrid. I'm able to match the entire term, but I'd like to be able to use a regular expression to do a progressive search (e.g., "Pe" matches "Peter"). I tried to create a regular expression to compare the fields, but I can't seem to get it to work. How do I return the results of the RegExp? Here's the function as it currently stands

The problem is: check a single word if belongs to a given language character set. So I think I have to instantiate a RegExp with expression [u4E00-u9FFF] (for Chinese language) in order to test against the specified word. But it does not work? Is this a bug with unicode ranges?

I've had some problems with FMS crashing when trying to execute or compile large regular expressions. This is the most easily reproducible scenario:
var patterns = [];
for(var iter = 0; iter < Math.pow(2, 16); iter++)
{
patterns.push('a');
}
var filter = new RegExp('('+patterns.join('|')+')', 'i');
2^16 dies, 2^16 - 1 works fine. Understandable that it crashes with such a big RegExp, but the problem I have with FMS is that the error messages are useless when it crashes. "Experienced 1 failure(s)!" is all I get. So my question is; can we get better debug info when FMS crashes?

I am getting an error with RegExp class at my flash document. I am using an Action Script 2.0 at my document. Is RegExp class is not supported in AS1/AS2 ?
My code is as follows
function validateEmailAddress(emailString:String):Boolean {
var myRegEx:RegExp = /(w|[_.-])+@((w|-)+.)+w{2,4}+/;
var myResult:Object = myRegEx.exec(emailString);
if(myResult == null) {return false;}return true;
} if(validateEmailAddress(email) == false) {
contacterror = "Error ! Please Enter Valid Email Address";}
If RegExp not supported in ActionScript 2.0 then how to validate email address at ActionScript 2.0 ?

I have a CSV file that's being imported by users. I'm casting it to a string and splitting it up into an array using the line ending. The issue is, inside the quotes may be a line ending that I need to ignore. The RegExp I'm using to split the string is..
private var _newLine:RegExp = /[
]|[
]/;
how to ignore line breaks inside of quotes? or.. Find the line breaks inside quotes to use a replace method
String(myCSV).replace( _yourForumRegExp, "");

- At least one special character such as @, #, $, etc.
- At least one Lower case letter
- password lenght minimum 6 digits
- password cannot be same as user name
I have the code only for checking the password is valid or not . check the below code.

ActionScript Code:
input.text = "[URL]";
function PlayVideo(event:MouseEvent):void {
switch (event.type) {
case "click":
var findVideo:RegExp = /(?<=?v=)([a-zA-Z0-9_-])+/;
trace(findVideo.exec(input.text));
break;
}}
I don't know what video this is (just picked it randomly off of the front page), but by clicking a button, the RegExp is called, looks for an ID in the input.text String, but when it does and I trace it, it gives me this:
ActionScript Code:

I have to validate NCS color names but I just cannot figure out the right RegExp for that.
How such a name looks like is the following:
1. a 4-digit number
2. a dash (-)
then either
3. one of the letters Y,R,G or B
4. a 2-digit number
5. the letter R
or
3. just the letter N
I tried & I tried but I just cannot find it.
