Web Forms :: Regarding Regular Expression & Replace?
Mar 23, 2010
i want to find and replace img src path by regular expression.suppose i have the below html and from there i want to replace file path of all the src attribute of image tag.
<P>Hello</P>
<P> </P>
<P><IMG alt="C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\My Pictures\Sample Pictures\Sunset.jpg" src="C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\My Pictures\Sample Pictures\Sunset.jpg"></P>
here the file path is src="C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\My Pictures\Sample Pictures\Sunset.jpg"
and i want to replace it with path like src="www.mysite.com/images/a.gif" with regular expression.how can i do it with regular expression.
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?
<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'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+)*
I am using Regular Expression validator for a text box. The below is working fine.It is not performing validation when I enter values like 0000..001.How can I modify validation expression? But it would allow values like 100,...5000 i.e zeros after a number.
<asp:RegularExpressionValidator ID="reg2" runat="server" ControlToValidate="rng2" ValidationExpression="^[0-9]+" ErrorMessage="*Please Enter a Valid Number for Second Range." ForeColor="Red" Font-Bold="True"></asp:RegularExpressionValidator>

I have a regular expression validation set on text box. I have a grid on the same page with edit and delete buttons. In some cases I don't want the regular expression to fire. For example, I have a scenario where the text box will be disabled but I can still enter data in to the grid and modify it, but the regular expression fires when I modify the grid and the changes in the grid are not processed.how can I stop the validation when I am working on grid. I can see a property causes validation for button to stop validation but don't know how can I stop for the grid.

I am facing a problem with regex. I want to check for sepecial characters like ><*&()%$@!~+...
I need to filter these special charecters...but the problem is in my 10 textboxes there only 3 are required...
I can submit the form without entering anything...but my regex is not allowing me to submit the form without giving a space from keyboard...
I just want to check for special charecters and empty textbox without giving a spacebar...
I just check these sites(http://regexlib.com/ and http://www.regular-expressions.info/) and read some documentation on regex...its kind of confusing....
Here is my regex for Middlename: ^[a-zA-Z''-'s]|[ ]{1,40}$ its worked but its not correct....then I changed it to ^[a-zA-Z''-'sd*]{1,40}$ this also not taking emptytextbox without giving a space...
My Goal:
In most of the textboxes I need to allow only numbers and - # _ in some textboxes....
For Address: need to allow alphabets and numbers and #-_' "
City: numbers and alphabets no special chars...
Main problem is I can write regex for most of these stuff but need to all textboxes without entering anything (empty textboxes).My work got stoped due to this.
first character is in caps and the rest of the name is in small for Firstname Space first character is in caps and the rest of the name is in small for lastname
