How can I get price from a string using regular expression ? Or by any other means .
Let's say. var str="Our shop receives only $. This shoe costs $200. We don't accept anything else then $"; ow could I retrieve '$200' from this above string. By any means.
I'm finishing my javascript form validator (only text fields for now) and here's one of the last things that's left.
I'm using class names of input elements as parameters for my validator. To find them i use Element.hasClassName(id, class) method from prototype library. I want to implement minlength parameter - so i grab a regexp tutorial and after a minute i had something like this minlength[[1-9][0-9]*], which finds minlength[1], minlength[666] and so on.
Great, but how to pass this as a paramter to hasClassName method, which requires string as a className?
My continuing problem with regular expressions! All I am trying to get is the expression must have at least 1 of these [a-z][0-9] in any order etc etc
RegExp(/[a-z][0-9]/)
didn't work

I want to check if the user enters alphabet or numbers only in the
text box. If the user enters non-alphabet or non-numbers, I should pop
up a message and doesn't allow the user to do that. I am using regular
expression to do the checking. But it seems it always return false...
I'm developing a web app and I want to validate a users input on a form. I need a regular expression to validate a string which must begin with a letter (i.e. A-Z or a-z) and must have 5 numbers (0-9) after it....

I want to remove all parameters, but first. I don't know what's wrong .
What regular expression will match ANY string that has 10 digits in it?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have just spent a while searching how to use regular expression to strip out spaces in a string and replace them with ',' I don't seem to be getting anywhere and was hoping someone could explain how to do it.
So for example:
Mystring = "a b c d"
My string would end up looking like the following
Mystring = "A','b','c','d"
How can i validate string with alphanumeric, space, dash and dot in regular expression ?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to perform a very simple validation of user input. I
want to verify that the user entered a six-digit string consisting
entirely of numbers. So anything from 000000 to 999999 is considered
valid. The problem that I'm having is getting the validation to work on
the entire string. In other words, 000000 is okay but 000000000000 is
also returning as a match. Here's a quick code block...I have something
along these lines....
/*********************/
<html>
<body>
<INPUT name="txtNumberField" type="text" id="txtNumberField">
<INPUT onClick="fnTestNumberField()" id=Button1 type=button value="Test
Number!" name=btnTest>
<script language=javascript>
function fnTestNumberField()
{
var sNumberValue = document.getElementById("txtNumberField").value;
if (sNumberValue.match(/A[0-9]{6}z/))
{
alert("match");
} else {
alert("no match");
}
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
/******************/
That is failing when I enter 123456 into the textbox. Why, though? I
know I can replace...
if (sNumberValue.match(/A[0-9]{6}z/))
....with something like...
if (sNumberValue.length == 6 && sNumberValue.match(/[0-9]{6}/))
....or I could assign a maxlength to the input box, of course. The thing
is, I really want to know WHY the regular expression isn't responding
as I'd expect. Is there a syntax error somewhere in the code?
I have a search box. I need to remove all the special characters from the search term and then query it.-,?~!@#$%&*+-= all these characters.can anybody suggest a proper regular expression for this ? and the syntax for using it in javascript.my query is saved in var query;
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have got this xml file which has a background params which is <background>igmp:
{theme.background_video_ip}:1234</background>.
I have done the validation to check if the igmp protocol is used like this
if (clientSpecificData.background.substr(0, 7) == "igmp:") {
Right now I am trying to find out how I can use regular expressions to check whether a port number is used at the end.
Just a quick one here I want a regular expression that tests a string to find out if not empty. I am currently using /^[a-zA-Z0-9]+$/ which allows all alphanumeric characters, however unfortunately does not allow white space. As I am trying to use the RE for a form name input and I don't wish to separate first and last name, I want to allow users to enter their full name including spaces. Can anyone tell me an RE that allows all alphanumeric characters and white space in a string but does not allow an empty string
View 14 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}$/");
if (namePattern.test(name))
{
window.alert("Invalid");
}
name comes from a input box I display on screen. Also, I would like to update the expression so that there can be one space in the string, but it cannot be at the beginning or end. So this string is like a persons name. Bob is OK, Bob Smith is also OK. Edit: Actually, it is doing something but its always coming back invalid.
know there is a similar post on here but it didn't really give me any actual help on this topic:It seems that I have the correct regular expressions in this however it doesn't want to follow my freaking instructions can you guys maybe show me where I'm going wrong and give me a short source code on how to rectify it. Code is below:
function validate(theForm)
{
var falseCounter = 0;
[code]....
I have seen lot of reg. expession with ?:
For dummy eg
(((XXX)ddd)ff)
The above expression is modified as
(?:(?:(XXX)ddd)ff)
Although both the above expr. gives same result. (RegExp.match() gives
same o/p), most of the places , i have seen second option.
Yes, but different matches r shown (using RegExp.exec())
Is the second expr. most efficient or in particular scenarios?
Any comments???
At the moment my code is like:
function telValid(inString) {
var regexp = /^[0-9 +()]+$/;
return (inString.match(regexp,''));
}
which is use to validate phone numbers (UK at the moment)
this works ok, but wont allow - (Dashes) which i need..
tried doing:
function telValid(inString) {
var regexp = /^[0-9 +-()]+$/;
return (inString.match(regexp,''));
}
I am finding it difficult to find a regular expression for following situation(replace)
a b c d = a,b,c d
a b c = a,b c
regular express to get the file name from a URL?
It has to be flexible in that the extension can be either 4, 5, or 6 chars (.php, .html, .shtml for example) and needs to cater for and whether querystring parameters exist too.
So, both
[URL]
and
[URL]
The regex should return newthread for both.

what will be the regular expression for this line:
Code JavaScript:
var id = $(this).attr("href").substring( $(this).attr("href").lastIndexOf('#'), $(this).attr("href").length);
Basically it gets the string after # in href attribute of clicked anchor tag.
I have this expression:
/(19|20)dd/)[- /.](0[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])[- /.](0[1-9]|1[012])
to detect if my date:
2010-12-15
is valid. It's not working. What do I have wrong?
When Internet Explorer 5.01 for Windows hits the regular expression:
/(?=<)|>/
it complains about an unexpected quantifier. In fact, it seems to complain whenever I use a lookahead expression. Is there any way around this?
