Web Forms :: Regular Expression To Replace All Special Characters?
Jan 18, 2010
I am trying to write a regular expression to replace all special chracters within a string so that I am left with just alphanumeric characters and spaces or full stops.
I am using this expression at the moment
[Code]....
But then I test this with the string "This is a test!", it returns "Thisis a test", which would be fine, except for the space it removes between "This" and "is", can anyone else me where I am going wrong or supply a better expression?

I need to construct a regular expression for the password textbox which shouldn't accept special characters($,@,!,etc).Even whitespaces,tabs. I tried the below this accepts special characters.
<asp:RegularExpressionValidator ID="RegEx" runat="server" ControlToValidate="Password"
ErrorMessage="Password must be atleast 8 characters and include a number,alphabets upper case and lower case.
"ToolTip="Password format is not correct"
ValidationExpression="^(?=.{8})(?=.*d)(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z]).*$">

I have to replace XML characters that are being sent to me like this:
Private Balcony & Patios w/Storageto instead be this:
Private Balcony & Patios w/Storage
I want to make sure I have an exhaustive list of all possible characters, so we don't find one later after my programming change.
I was told to do these (by a developer at the client site who is passing me the xml as he gets it from the database and wants me to parse it):
replace all "&" to "&" as well as any of other 3 reserved characters:
">" to "<"
"<" to ">" and
"%" to "%"
But when I googled more infor on XML special characters, I found this list:
& &
< <
> >
" "
' '
Which says nothing about the % but mentions the quote and apostrophe.
So what is the exhaustive list?

I'm using RegularExpressionValidator controls to impose password rules when creating new passwords. I want to avoid repeatitons such as 'aaaa' or sequences such as '12345' in the password.
How do I write the validationexpression to a RegularExpressionValidator to impose this rule? I do not want to do thing using C#, just with a regular expression that could be put within the validator control like below:
<asp:RegularExpressionValidator
ID="RegularExpressionValidator3"
runat="server"
ErrorMessage="Password
should contain Minimum 8 Characters"
ControlToValidate="txtPwd"
ValidationExpression="w{8,30}"><asp:RegularExpressionValidator>

I have the following string:
<div id="mydiv">This is a "div" with quotation marks</div>
I want to use regular expressions to return the following:
<div id='mydiv'>This is a "div" with quotation marks</div>
Notice how the id attribute in the div is now surrounded by apostrophes?
How can I do this with a regular expression?
Edit: I'm not looking for a magic bullet to handle every edge case in every situation. We should all be weary of using regex to parse HTML but, in this particular case and for my particular need, regex IS the solution.
Edit #2: Jens Ameskamp helped to find a solution for me but anyone randomly coming to this page should think long and very hard about using this solution. In my case it works because I am very confident of the type of strings that I'll be dealing with. I know the dangers and the risks and make sure you do to. If you're not sure if you know then it probably indicates that you don't know and shouldn't use this method.

i have to check if an input string is valid based on the given regular expression.. this is the regular expression.
(a(bb+aaa+((ab)*bb+(aba)*aa)(a+b)*) + (b(aa+bbb+((ba)*aa+(bab)*bb)(a+b)*)
+ is an OR
* is a LOOP, it is optional, it may be done as many as a user wants.
i've tried many ways to solve the problem that my professor gave me but my knowledge isn't that enough to solve this problem..

I'm trying to use the validator to work on a email form to ensure that they enter a valid from email address. That part works. I also want to add to the expression the text that I pre-populate in the txtbox ("Enter your email address") so on postback, after sending the message, I can clear the fields and repopulate that box.
How do I add that wording to the current expression: w+([-+.']w+)*@w+([-.]w+)*.w+([-.]w+)*
