How To Use Regex To Find A Matching String Pattern And Delete It
Feb 4, 2011
I have a table Books with columns BookID, BookSummary, BookAuthor.
What I have stupidly done was to add a link to another url at the end of the BookSummary. Assuming the text is something like this:
This is a book about a love story in World War 2 in Europe. The book is written by Elliot James.
I have added
<a href='http=://XXXXXX'>Buy Book</a> at the end of the text making the final content of BookSummary to be like:
This is a book about a love story in World War 2 in Europe. The book is written by Elliot James.
<a href='http=://XXXXXX'>Buy Book</a>
I now need to write a code (via regex?) to read through each BookSummary, find the <a href='http://XXXXX'>Buy Book</a> and delete it. But the problem is the content in XXX could be anything and I cannot use typical string functions. Can anyone guide me to
achieve this using Regex?

What's the regular expression to check if a string starts with "mailto" or "ftp" or "joe" or...
Now I am using C# and code like this in a big if with many ors:
String.StartsWith("mailto:")
String.StartsWith("ftp")
It looks like a regex would be better for this. Or is there a C# way I am missing here?

I am trying to assign values I've gathered from a JSON feed to my own type, a class in which I have defined certain fields (properties) to put the JSON elements into, plus elements that are derived from a RegEx pattern matching process. This will then allow me to access the object using LINQ, as I am using a List to hold my objects. There is a foreach loop in my code that loops for each match that my RegEx method finds. I am only interested in the parts of the JSON feed where there is a match. So my own defined class is as such:
//simple field definition class
public class TwitterCollection
{
public string origURL { get; set; }
public string txtDesc { get; set; }
public string imgURL { get; set; }
public string userName { get; set; }
public string createdAt { get; set; }
}
And then I want to populate List in the RegEx Matches loop:
foreach (Match match in matches)
{
GroupCollection groups = match.Groups;
var tc = new List<TwitterCollection>()
{
origURL = groups[0].Value.ToString(),
txtDesc = res.text,
imgUrl = res.profile_image_url,
userName = res.from_user_id,
createdAt = res.created_at,
};
}
The code will then go on to extract and sort the results via Linq to Objects. But compiler won't actually let me create my var tc = new List<TwitterCollection>() because: 'System.Collections.Generic.List' does not contain a definition for 'origURL' ... even though I have defined it. It does not flag an error if I simply write new TwitterCollection but then how do I refer to this in my Linq expression later on??

YARPQ - Yet Another Regex Pattern Question:
What I am trying to figure out is how to use a custom delimiter, single character or set of characters, to wrap a block of text inside a larger body of text and then pull that text out via regex. I have successfully done this with a single instance of wrapped text. If I have multiple instances, it blows up. Here is an example.
This would be my text block with the internally wrapped text:
[Code]....
When my current regex runs on this block, the greedy nature gives me a match starting with my first wrapped block delimeter and ending with my second wrapped block end delimeter. So my regex of @"#Delim(.*)#EndDelim" doesn't work in this instance. I am trying to figure out how to exclude the #EndDelim from my grouping. Simply using ([^#EndDelim]*) doesn't work as it tells regex to ignore the individual characters inside the brackets and not the actual word so this breaks if I have any of those characters inside my wrapped block of text.
I am probably making this harder than it needs to be. Does anyone know of a good solution or how to ignore entire words in regex?

I will have the following possible strings:
12_3
or
12_3+14_1+16_3-400_2
The numbers could be different, but what I'm looking for are the X_X numeric patterns. However, I need to do a replace that will search for 2_3 and NOT return the 12_3 as a valid match.
The +/-'s are arthemtic symbols, and can be any valid value. They also ARENT required (in the example of the first) .. so, I might want to check a string that just has 12_3, and if I pass in 2_3, it would NOT return a match. Only if I passed in 12_3.
This is for a C# script.

I'm trying to build an asp.net page using c# that will query a column in an Oracle database that has 20,000 rows. I want to display all rows that match this regular expression pattern "[]$".(should only have about 5 rows that match this pattern) The version of Oracle we use does not support regex so I need to find a way to do this in c# but I'm not sure how do that.

I am looking for a better way to update a list of records. I have a string column in my table that contains an array of strings like so:"11112,AAAA1,AAAA2,99998" etc. It is possible that the column could contain one of those values at any position, for instance, these are ALL valid values for the column:
"11112"
"AAAA1,11112"
"11112,AAAA1"
"AAAA1,11112,AAAA2"
I want to write a SQL statement that will remove "11112" from all of the columns when needed. This MUST also remove any leading, trailing, or double comma values that may be left from simply replacing the "11112" with an empty string.As of now, I simply load a SqlDataReader with any records that contain "11112", I replace it with nothing, "", then I fix the string if need be and update it.

I have a displayFormat pattern "$###,###,###;-$###,###,###;#"( it can be different too) and I want to reformat the value in the AspxTextbox after deleting the ',' on GotFocus and LostFocus events by calling the following JavaScript function :
[code]....
I have tried to use ASPxFormatter but it is an internal class that is not indented to be used in a user project.Using String.Format('{0:' + displayFormat + '}', parseInt(value))); didn't work too , it threw an exception since String.format doesn't accept this format of pattern,Can you provide a way to reformat my string to any pattern I want not only the one I recite since ?

i'm trying to find all the anchor tags and appending the href value with a variable.
for example
<a href="/page.aspx">link</a> will become <a href="/page.aspx?id=2">
<A hRef='http://www.google.com'><img src='pic.jpg'></a> will become <A hRef='http://www.google.com?id=2'><img src='pic.jpg'></a>
I'm able to match all the anchor tags and href values using regex, then i manually replace the values using string.replace, however i dont think its the efficient way to do this.Is there a solution where i can use something like regex.replace(html,newurlvalue)

I want to find a substring (email) in a large text using Regex.
just want to return the first valid email that is found from the input text:
example:
string inputString = "Our email is myname@ourcompany.com.
desired output: myname@ourcompany.com
this is the Regex pattern i've used: ^[A-Z0-9._%+-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+.[A-Z]{2,4}$
- is this pattern correct?
Code:
private static void DumpHRefs(string inputString)
{
Match m;
string HRefPattern = @"^[A-Z0-9._%+-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+.[A-Z]{2,4}$";
m = Regex.Match(inputString, HRefPattern,
RegexOptions.IgnoreCase | RegexOptions.Compiled);
while (m.Success)
{
Console.WriteLine("Found email " + m.Groups[1] + " at ".......

I need to find a regex that tests that an input string contains exactly 10 numeric characters, while still allowing other characters in the string.
I'll be stripping all of the non-numeric characters in post processing, but I need the regex for client-side validation.
For example, these should all match:
1234567890
12-456879x54
321225 -1234AAAA
xx1234567890
But these should not:
123456789 (not enough digits)
12345678901 (too many digits)

I am getting taggings like the following in a string
<color> vocation </color>
<color> elation </color>
<color> sage </color>
you can notice that each tagging differs only in the wordings
vocation
elation
sage
But i want to write a code some thing like this
Regex.Replace(userAx, "<color> vocation </color>",
"<color> </color>"
so that the resulting output does not contain words at the centre.In the above code instead of giving the word vocation exclusively, i have to mention some pattern, so that it will replace all the words instead of doing it for first sentence only.How to modify my code?

I am trying to get all the words in a string using a regular expression.When I use this expression in javascript, it works, but when I try it in the .Net code I get the whole string.this is my code.Is my regular expression wrong or am I using the wrong method?
Code:
Dim myRegex As New Regex("/([a-zA-Z]){1,1}([a-z])+/g")
Dim str() As String = myRegex.Split(text)

I am trying to check if a string ends in "@something" and extract "something" from it if it does. For example, I am trying to do something like this:
string temp = "//something//img/@src"
if (temp ends with @xxx)
{
string extracted = (get "src");
...
}
else

}
How can I accomplish this?
