Regexp for AS3 to get the domain name from URL?[URL]
View 2 RepliesI'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?
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.
In the below code if i replace st2 into the pattern of regexp without quotes, it works fine.Now since i get the regular expression from some other file, as it is shown in st2. I want to add that into the regexp pattern. But as in the below code it doesnt work.

public function onClicking(){

is it possible to transform regexp pattern match to lowercase?
var pattern:RegExp;
var str:String = "HI guys";
pattern = /([A-Z]+)/g;
str = str.replace(pattern, thisShouldBeLowerCase);
Output should look like this: "hi guys"
I would like to be able to replace a section of a string with a dash. The section being replaced will be variable.
var str:String = "permanentContainer-temporaryContainer-"
var test:String = "temp";
var pattern:RegExp = /-[(+test+)]+-/i;
trace( str.replace(pattern,"-"));
I would like the result to trace:

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

I am trying to get a regex match on HTML code that is parsed into a text box in flash. I have successfully loaded the HTML code and then began the regex matching, but am stuck on getting the right regex expression to match. The code that I am using in html page builds a tree view list on the html page, so once it's loaded into the flash text box, i am trying to match the html pages to build a list from. The code below is what I am trying to match.
The code I want to match is the first two items in quotes for each entry to build the array list of page names, and their URL. The problem is that the pages won't be named as nice as the example below. Each time it can be a different page name, and page url, so I need to match what is in the first two quotes.

I have the following as3 function below which converts normal html with links so that the links have 'event:' prepended so that I can catch them with a TextEvent listener.

How can i modify my function so that links with 'event:' at the start are NOT matched and are left unchanged?
I have the following regex, which will match all the <br> and <br /> tags in a string:
/<br[s|/]*>/gi
I actually want to match every set of two consecutive tags, with valid matches being:
<br><br>
<br/><br>
<br><br/>
<br/><br/>
(and all variations with a space before the slash)
Obviously I can just double up the expression to /<br[s|/]*><br[s|/]*>/gi, but is there a shorter way of taking the first expression and saying "this, but twice"?
I've gotten stuck on some issue using AS3 and RegEx. I'm trying to use a RegEx var to match out the ends of a mathematical expressions out of a string. But for some reason, the RegEx only matches the first expression and ignores the one after the conditional.

View 2 RepliesI'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.
I am not new to regex but have come across a problem I can't seem to solve. I'm trying to locate a specific HTML tag that has a specific attribute/value pair (it may have other attributes, too, but those are optional), extract it's contents as a backreference and wrap a new custom tag around it. The original tag is:

I want it to match the expression "lol" in a sentance.. I entered "lol 234234" for the main string for a test (remove the "`s, their not part of the expression)and I put the expression as "lol".I didn't touch parameter or flags, because I'm not really sure I know what they are heh .
I guess it works because I got : String.match(expression): true
[0] = lol
Also, how would I add expressions with it like : a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,l,m,n,o,p, etc... so if he says a, or b, or c etc it would match it.
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

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?

View 5 RepliesI'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 {

if(myResult == null) {return false;}return true;
