am in need of escaping the regular expression special characters like '/', '.', '*', '+', '?', '|','(', ')', '[', ']', '{', '}', '\'.I have try with this by the following javascript but i can not achieve that.
RegExp.escape=function(str)
{
if (!arguments.callee.sRE) {

Attempting to use javascript's regular expression methods to match a
particular lab number and building which would then be copied to a pair
of textfields, I found that general matching characters needing a
backslash were not recoginized. The following adapted code that finds
a two-button radio selection shows my problem:
function labstat(){
for (i=1; i<3; i++){
if(document.tester.rm_mod[i-1].checked){
var lb = document.tester.elements["lab"+(i)].value;//either
214 or 215*
var bld = document.tester.bldg.value;
if(/*/.test(lb)){ //error:Undetermined comment
// if(/*/.test(lb)){ //error:Syntax error
// if(/5/.test(lb)){ //works to match only 215*
// if(/5*/.test(lb)){ //true for all
// if(/ddd/.test(lb)){ //false for all
document.tester.room1.value = lb;
document.tester.bldg1.value = bld;
}
}
}
It appears that the escaped characters are not recognized, whichever
form of the method is used, i.e var re = /*/; // or = new
RegExp("*");
if(re.test(lb)){

With the --.match(__) method I have the same problem.
Can anyone tell me how to escape the special characters(like &,^,%,$ etc) in a string using Javascript?
For eg. I have a string like this : "Tes$#t" I want this to be changed to Tes$# before sending as a input parameter. So that i can process the string as it is typed exactly.
I'm using HAML to make html templates but am having a problem in writing attributes which will be replaced with JavaScript string templating.
The line in question looks like this:
%div{:class => "<%= from_class %>"}
HAML tries to encode the <%= %> tags:
<div class="<%= from_class %>">
I don't want that to happen in this case... Anyone know how to do this?
This is my first serious attempt at using a regular expression.My first name field should allow alpha characters only [A-Za-z], but it seems to be testing for the presence of 1 alpha character. If one is found in the string then anything else is allowed.Bob returns valid which is what I need.Bob1 returns valid but should NOT be valid..1 returns valid not valid which is what I need.My code.
function isValidFirstName(p1_firstName) {
//http://www.javascriptkit.com/jsref/regexp.shtml
var re = new RegExp("[A-Za-z]");

I have the following code:
var str = "/dev/filler/test0/";
var patt = new RegExp("/test0/$");
var result = patt.exec(str);
document.write(result);
which returns: /test0/
in the var patt line I would like to replace the hardcoded test0 string with an expression that matches any characters between the two forward slashes. I have tried with little success.
String must be minimum 6 charcters long and can only contain A-Z, a-z and 0-9 ....
View 2 Replies View RelatedI wanted to try creating a basic expression first. I want someone to enter a string that is 2 - 20 characters long and only has letters. This is what I use so far, and it doesn't work, nothing happens at all when I run it.
Code:
// Check for a valid name.
var namePattern = new RegExp("/^[a-zA-Z]{2,20}$/");
if (namePattern.test(name))
{
window.alert("Invalid");
}
name comes from a input box I display on screen. Also, I would like to update the expression so that there can be one space in the string, but it cannot be at the beginning or end. So this string is like a persons name. Bob is OK, Bob Smith is also OK. Edit: Actually, it is doing something but its always coming back invalid.

I have a problem displaying a divbox containing a html-textarea -
everything works fine with "normal" characters. However, when the
textarea contains special chars like <P> or ' , the box fails to show:
function show(divbox)
{
divbox.style.display=''
}
<div id="divbox" style="display:none" >
<form action="action.php" method="post>
<textarea name ="txt">Text</textarea>
</form>
</div>
If the Text in the textarea is for instance
HERE IS A "QUOTE"
it works fine, while
HERE IS A 'QUOTE'
produces an error
<br>-tags works fine, but
<p>-tags doesn't
I have a number of scripts that take special characters and convert them
to their ascii equivalents and them store them in the database.
However I am running into a problem that I have some of those fields are
loaded to an array and inserted into cells dynamically. As an example
the array would be:
var my_array = [ ["52","Source Data"], ["19","Body &
Soap"] ];
Then I have some javascript that creates the cell and inserts the value
into a cell text node like:
var x = my_array[1][1]; // this would be "Body & Soap"
//create the cell
myTD=document.createElement("TD");
//create the text node
myText=document.createTextNode(x);
// Appends each node following the structure.
myTD.appendChild(myText);
What I see on the output is: "Body & Soap"
What I should see is: "Body & Soap"
Anyone know how to get around this?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to get some images on my page by their src attribute. Src attribute have this format :
src = [URL]
For doing that I'm using the following query :
$j("img[src*='request=gettile'][src*='"+$j(this).data("target")+"']")
$j(this).data("target") contains my mapname, it works fine.
But my users can use mapname that can be contained in another map names. Example : mapblabla and pbla. When I'm searching pbla it's returning images of mapblabla and pbla. That's why I need to put the symbol equal before and the symbol & after my map name. Then the request is :
$j("img[src*='request=gettile'][src*='\="+$j(this).data("target")+"\&']")

I was hoping that someone could give me a hand with a regex quetsion. I'm quite new to it all, but managed to get things working pretty much how I would like them except for allowing special characters such etc.
