So we have [URL] we need to get out from it protocol, ip/adress, port, actual url (robot10382.flv here) and actions (action=read here) how to parse all that into string vars in one reg exp?
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;
I want to do something like this:"3*4".replace(/([0-9]+)[*]([0-9]+)/g, String(Number("$1") * Number("$2")))And no, i don't want to do that, but something more complex.
The problem is about the regular expression, how can I find this whole line by regular expression?
I am using the RegExp from ActionScript3
The main challenges are:
The <%@ %> instruction may contains another <%$ %> instruction in its attribute, just like the one above The <%@ %> instruction may have a line break in it, just like the following.
I have a 3rd party programme which generates the xml file below, and it re-writes the xml file every time a new message is received by that 3rd party programme. What I'm trying to do is find a way to read in the relevant flashvars (if that's the right term) into a flash file (basically I want to read in messages 1 - 6), ignore the rest of the xml, display the messages and then re-load the xml about every 30 seconds (in case it's changed). I guess this is pretty much like a news reader of sorts, but I don't have any control over the structure of the xml file, so if someone could point me in the right sort of direction, then I'm happy to have a go at learning. I did try messing with a basic news reader flash file that I downloaded, but it didn't seem to like the xml - I guess because each message in the xml has its own number?[code]...
I am trying to parse an some xml that is coming from a php file. I used the DOMDocument to write the xml and then echoed it back out. It's perfectly formatted I'm sure. When I load the php file from flash I don't get any errors but it won't trace the xml. I even have the header ("content-type: text/xml"); in the php file. Can flash pick up xml data from a php file assuming everything is done correctly?
question 1:I know I can use:var string = FLfile.read( fileURL);to get the content of a text file, but is there a way to read this text file line by linesuch as:var string1=fileReadLine( fileURL);var string2=fileReadLine( fileURL);question 2:Is there a way to parser(or tokenize) the above string?
I get a compile time error telling me that it can't find the class. So I check, and recheck, and the class is there, so I'm baffled.
Then, just for giggles, I try typing:
ActionScript Code: trace(coms.utils.XMLParser);
right after I import the classes. And for some reason, suddenly, I get no compile time errors, and the document loads, traces out, and the method I call in the class traces out its little "hello" message...
If I comment out that trace, it goes right back to being broken...
So seriously, what gives. Has anyone ever run into anything like this before? I'm running CS4 on an iMac, if that makes a difference.
In Eclipse (and Flash/Flex Builder) you get the option with Ctrl+Shift+F to do a file search and look for a regular expression. Would be a real handy thing to know.
I want to find the word negate if it appears in a Flex/java comment like the following:
I have some code that parses an external XML file and reads the HTML inside the CDATA block. But it does not read HTML form elements like <input> or <textbox> is there anyway to do this? Is there anyway to have it parse an MXML file to generate the form on the fly?[code]...
I'm trying to read a xml file from client. After search for it. I have got to upload the file to the server with this code. var imagesFilter:FileFilter = new FileFilter("*.jpg,*.gif,*.png", "*.jpg;*.gif;*.png;*.jpeg"); fileRef.browse([imagesFilter]); But what I want to do is to read the file from client and parse it without uploading it to the server.
All I can find information on for the URLLoader object in Actionsript 3.0 involves loading XML files, which I don't want to do. I'm trying to load in a .txt file that I want to parse, line by line with each line being delimited by a comma. Anyone know a method of doing this or a place where I can find some information on how to do this?
I am using actionscript engine to upload a file, the engine will select the file and send the file over network thru HTTP POST command, the document says the POST message is like:[code]In server side I have a C++ program listens on port 80 and parse the POST message. I only want the file name and file data. How to decode the file data using c++, is it base64 encoded and is there a library can do it for me? I want to decode the binary, and write it to the file.
private var filer:FileReference; protected function button1_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void { var fd:String = "Files (*)";
[code]....
And my file looks like this:
[URL]
I need to read the uploaded file and parse it. The problem is that in my e.currentTarget.data.toString(); I get only '1' and not the rest of the String. how to successfully read this entire txt file?
I need to parse a large trace file (up to 200-300 MB) in a Flex application. I started using JSON instead of XML hoping to avoid these problems, but it did not help much. When the file is bigger than 50MB, JSON decoder can't handle it (I am using the as3corelib).
Try to split the file: I would really like to avoid this; I don't want to change the current format of the trace files and, in addition, it would be very uncomfortable to handle.Use a database: I was thinking of writing the trace into a SQLite database and then reading from there, but that would force me to modify the program that creates the trace file.
I'm trying to parse a rather large XML file using a for loop to populate a listcomponent. To let the user know the XML is being parsed (takes 5-10 sec.) I want to create a simple notifier/preloader (loader_mc is on the stage, frame 1, and should inform that things are being loaded/parsed).The problem is that nothing shows as long as the loop is busy.Is there some kind of progresslistener for the loop in AS3 or some kind of Event.PROGRESS for the XML load that will kick in BEFORE the loop starts.I even tried to move this script to frame 2 but still the loader_mc wouldn't show.[code]...........
I need to parse and display the value for variable VALUE in xml to the screen but read from the file continuously instead of once. The XML file is being created dynamically so its getting larger but flash only displays first value for variabel VALUE.
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.
Basically 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, "%")
