I have a function which validates the password if there is a number: ------------------------------------------------- function findNumeric(str_obj){ regEx = /d/; if (str_obj.match(regEx)) return true; else return false; } -------------------------------------------------- The problem arises when I put a password with a space in between e.g: 'test test1'. The fucntion returns false. I've tried 's' in the regEx but the user can put the space anywhere..
Any idea how to solve this problem as I should be able to put any alplanumeric value into the password, including space.
I have a variable named "acct". I first want to remove any "-" characters from it's value. After this I want to verify that we have only exactly 12 digits in the variable.
Unfortunately I'm pretty green as far as using RegEx.
/d{12}/.test(acct); should do the second part, but how do I do the first?
I have a little Ajax script and I'm trying to remove some CSS elements from a DIV tag and I'm have a bit of trouble with the Regex. Right now I'm trying to remove the z-index attribute. It can look something like any of these:
I am using Regular Expressions and Javascript to validate a form, specifically I want to make sure that if they try to upload a file that it has a proper name w/ certain extensions (doc,pdf, rtf). The script works on IE and Mozilla but fails on Safari on the MacOSX. Here is my code..
// ok files with proper extension var reOKFiles = /^([a-zA-Z].*|[1-9].*).(doc|DOC|pdf|PDF|rtf|RTF)$/;
//where i check for the file... if(window.document.myForm.myDocument.value != ""){ var fileStr = window.document.myForm.myDocument.value; if(!reOKFiles.test(fileStr)){ alert("Please try again, you tried to upload an invalid file type for CRITERIA 1"); window.document.myForm.myDocument.focus(); return (false);
I am looking out for a regular expression that takes the following format
textfile_20060711_113441.txt
where textfile = name of the file 2006 = year 07=month 11=day 11=hour 34=minute 41=seconds. .txt is extension
The file always comes in the same format. however we need to implement checks so that user doesnt enter invalid month/day/hour/minute etc.
I have created the following regular expression textfile_(?<Year>(?:d{4}|d{2}))(?x)(?<Month>d{1,2})(?<Day>d{1,2})_([01]?[0-9]|[2][0-3])([0-5][0-9])([0-5][0-9]).[a-zA-Z]{3}
Can anyone guide me as to how do i modify this regex to suit my requirement. This regex currently is not able to handle invalid months or days etc.
Also i do not know how to integrate this regex in my javascript. Pointers or examples will be helpful.
which checks I have at least one lowercase letter, one uppercase letter and one number and the string is between 8 and 16 characters.I have adapted this from another source and it works as intended on all browsers but not IE7 or IE6 (oh microsoft why do you make my life so hard)This works fine in all other browsers (IE8 is fine) but doesnt work in IE6 or IE7
I'm writing an ECMAScript tokeniser and parser and trying to find out if I can eliminate the switching from tokenising "/" as start of regex or the division operator depending on the parser feedback - essentially, if I can make the tokeniser independent of the parser. (I have a gut feeling this needs too much special casing to be worth it). Code:
I have a bunch of text that I want to split into an array of sentences. I have the following code that works just fine on FF and Chromium, but ofc has to fail on the pile of *** that is IE [code]...
It does not produce any errors, but the resulting array often has empty strings as value instead of the sentences that should be there. how to do this in a way it also works on IE?
this needs to be able to match a string and make the following replacements: if the string matches without < or >, replace the match with a space, a replacement string, and another space. if < matches also, do not add the left space. if > matches, do not add the right space. if < and > match, do not add the beginning or ending space
Old {} String => Old Replacement String Old {<} String => OldReplacement String Old {>} String => Old ReplacementString Old {<>} String => OldReplacementString
this will have to be done a LOT of times, so efficiency is very important the answer in php is below. can anyone help me figure out how to do it in javascript? PHP Code:
I am trying to write a regex that will parse BBcode into HTML using JavaScript. Everything was going smoothly using the string class replace() operator with regex's until I got to the list tag. Implementing the list tag itself was fairly easy. What was not was trying to handle the list items. For some reason, in BBcode, they didn't bother defining an end tag for a list item. I guess that they designed it with bad old HTML 3.2 in mind where you could make a list by using:
<ul> <li>item 1 <li>item2 </ul>
However, I need to make this XHTML compliant, so I needed to add the </li> tag into the mix. Unfortunately, the only way to find where to put it is to find the next[*] (<li>) tag or an open list (in the case of nested lists) or close list tag. I was trying to get a rule that handles the list items to work, but it only matches the first item in any list. Here is the line of code:
First, I check to make sure that the list item is inside a list. Then, I match the[*] tag to find the start of the item, then I match either the next[*],, orto determine the end of the item. This successfully prevents a list item outside of a list from being made into a <li> element, but only matches the first list item in a list. Is there any way to make this match all occurances of this pattern without looping over the statement until the pattern can no longer be found?
I have been working on this for a few hours and am frustrated beyond all extent. I have tried to research this on the web as well with no success. I am trying to match certain contents within a wrapper div. So for example if the inside of the wrapper div was the following:
<div id="wrapper"> <a href="#">a great link that contain text and symbols</a> <div... </div> <div... </div> </div>
I would like to strip out all the internal div's. But because there can be alot of internal div's, I figured it would be less processor intensive to just match the first 'a' tag and repopulate the wrapper div with the match. I am trying to use something like the following regex:
but this is returning the entire contents of the wrapper div. I have tried variations of the regex and either continue to get the entire contents or null returns. Any help would greatly be appreciated. BTW, I can't match to the first because the contents may be touching (ie ...</a><div>...).
I'm trying to test if certain radio buttons are selected, but the name varies. My boss is considering changing the names to further isolate them breaking the script as it works now. I'm trying to figure out how to test the new case just like it works now. Here's a link to my pastebin
Internet Explorer 8 does not behave the same as Firefox and Chrome for regex exec() method in javascript. IE8 seems not to comply with ECMA-262 here, as the others do. Regex's match() method works OK for all.
Any ideas on how to work around to use exec() with IE8?
Here is the sample code to show the issue:
Results:
IE8: withMatch=images/ withExec=null Firefox and Chrome withMatch=images/withExec=images/
