Regex Just The Contents In "xxx(brackets)xxx"?

Sep 23, 2009

I've been battling with this for a couple of hours now. I bet the answer is simple.

I want to take "text (just the text in here) more text" and end up with "just the text in here" No brackets

Basically I'm trying to strip a "url(address here)"

My regex literal so far is /[^(].*[^)]/g

This would work say for "(hello there)" -> "hello there", but fails for "text(hello there)text"

Regex Matches Periods But Not Square Brackets?

Dec 17, 2010

Can't figure out why the pattern will match a period but not a square bracket.For example, it will match "See Jack run." but not "See [Jack] run.". Just ignores the brackets.

Code:
var title = note_title.value;
// validate periods and brackets

Textfield Name Containing Square Brackets

Jul 20, 2005

I'm hoping that someone can help me with a question I have about javascript syntax.

I got an html page that uploads an image and some text field to a database.

What I'd like to do is modify the content of one of the textfields prior to it being submitted to the database. Specifically, I need to append the contents of one of the fields to another.

The problem that I've encountered is that the textfield name contains square brackets , ‘extra_fields[Price]'

I've identified the square brackets as being the problem by changing the textfield's name to one that doesn't contain square brackets ,extra_fieldPrice for example and the script works fine.

Unfortunately, in the real world application of this page, I can't change the textfield name.

The specific part of the html page that's giving me problems is:

JQuery :: Square Brackets In Selectors?

Apr 9, 2011

While trying to get a selector to work with ids that include square brackets, I searched the forum and found that I needed to escape the brackets with '\'. However, while this works with my fiddle: can't get the exact same selector to work within my page in either FF or Safari. I've triple-checked the id and it is correct; I know that jQuery is working on the page because changing the selector to$('.nameinput') gives the expected results. can't change the id because I'm working within an existing application; I know I could add a class to the input and use that as the selector instead. I'd prefer not to and would just like to figure out why this isn't working.

When the return value of a function is another function like:

The normal method I've seen to invoke the returned function is:

In, JavaScript closure for dummies, in the 6th example the returned function is invoked using double brackets like:

This is working perfectly in firefox. This is the 1st time I'm seeing a function call like this.

Does this work in all browsers?

Analyze The Contents Of A Textbox And Replace The Contents With The Appropriate Date?

Jul 15, 2009

I'm looking for javascript to analyze the contents of a textbox and replace the contents with the appropriate date. To make that a little clearer, if the user types 'tomorrow' then when they tab/move onto the next text box the 'tomorrow' text should be replaced with the date for tomorrow in the format dd/mm/yyyy, if the user enters '1 week' then the text should be replaced with the date in one week in the format dd/mm/yyyy etc.

Regular Expression - Match ",.[]" - Cannot Put Them Into The Square Brackets

May 3, 2010

for the character classes [ ], if i want to match ,.[] i cannot put them into the square brackets so how to deal with that? what if the characters are . or ! or ." (<-- combined) it fails if the regexp is [.!(.")] which will treat ( as one of the element. also the book javascript: the definitive guide says that (?=p) requires that the following characters match the pattern p, but do not include those characters in the match. However, the browser failed to figure this out (IE8) i.e. "asd:ert".match(/(?=:)w/) returns null

RegEx In Javascript

Jul 23, 2005

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.

RegEx In Javascript?

Jul 23, 2005

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?

Issues Getting And Regex'ing A Url

Jan 9, 2006

Basically i want to get the current url, and then replace http:// with
something else.

Here is the current code.

var current_url = window.document.location;
var re = new RegExp("http://", "g");
if(re.test(current_url)) {

me = current_url.replace(re,"http://www.addme.com/");

window.alert("found :: " + me + " :: " + current_url);
} else {
window.alert("not");}

if my page was http://ww.google.com 'd get the alert to be:

found :: undefined :: http://www.google.com.

I dont understand why i am getting undefined. When re.test() works.
surely that means the regex is correct.

Space In REGEX In IE6

May 9, 2007

I was using the following code:

element.value = element.value.replace(/ /g,'');

to remove all the spaces in a string.

However in IE6 it complained with and "Expected ')'" error.

How can I tell IE6 to replace just spaces (i.e. not using s)?

I tried / / and /[ ]/ but neither of them worked either.

Divisions And Regex

Oct 23, 2005

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:

Javascript Regex

Dec 21, 2004

In have a string of data like so:

<div id="feedback">
<p>[DEC 12th Anthony]I like it[DEC 12th Anthony]I agree</p>
</div>

I'm trying to use regex to add a <br /> before each item in hard brackets so the comments are broken out. Here's what I've tried.

re = /(.*])/gi;
vTemp = aSourceObject.innerHTML.replace(re,"<br />$1");

What I end up getting is:

<div id="feedback">
<p><br />[DEC 12th Anthony]I like it[DEC 12th Anthony]I agree</p>
</div>

It gets it right, but only for the first item, not the second one. If I tell it to put the <br /> after then I get

<p>[DEC 12th Anthony]I like it[DEC 12th Anthony]<br />I agree</p>

So its like its reading the entire section in brackets as one match instead of 2 seperate matches..
