How can I using regular expression to trim the spaces to single space?
Normally I can write regular expressions decently well but for some
reason I am having trouble getting this to work. I am validating form
data and need to throw an error if there are ANY spaces in the field.
abc123 is fine, abc 123 is not. Any character is fine, just not a
space.
I want a regular expression for Citi where first character should not be a blank space.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm working with SageCRM. When SageCRM outputs the company address, I kid you not, it outputs the value and then a crap ton of HTML non-breaking spaces, a break tag and then repeat for the other address lines.My client added a button to the page via the customization function that links over to MapQuest. But, all those non-breaking spaces mess up the URL.I'm trying to fix it, but I'm having some trouble and thought I'd throw it out to you all.
Code:
// Ninja'd this from somewhere to trim whitespace.
function trim(stringToTrim) {

I have a form in my homepage which takes some values. In that, a text box takes multiple values seperated by spaces. I have allowed only alphanumeric characters in that with the following code.

Just wanted to share two handy RegEx expressions to strips leading and
trailing white-space from a string, and to replace all repeated spaces,
newlines and tabs with a single space.
* JavaScript example:
String.prototype.trim = function() {
// Strip leading and trailing white-space
return this.replace(/^s*|s*$/g, "");
}
String.prototype.normalize_space = function() {
// Replace repeated spaces, newlines and tabs with a single space
return this.replace(/^s*|s(?=s)|s*$/g, "");
}
" one two three
".trim(); // --> "one two three"
" one two three
".normalize_space(); // --> "one two three"
The regular expression I have prevent special characters but not spaces.
$(this).val(text.replace(/[^wds]/, ""));
How do I prevent spaces?
I have seen lot of reg. expession with ?:
For dummy eg
(((XXX)ddd)ff)
The above expression is modified as
(?:(?:(XXX)ddd)ff)
Although both the above expr. gives same result. (RegExp.match() gives
same o/p), most of the places , i have seen second option.
Yes, but different matches r shown (using RegExp.exec())
Is the second expr. most efficient or in particular scenarios?
Any comments???
At the moment my code is like:
function telValid(inString) {
var regexp = /^[0-9 +()]+$/;
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('#'), $(this).attr("href").length);
Basically it gets the string after # in href attribute of clicked anchor tag.
I have this expression:
/(19|20)dd/)[- /.](0[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])[- /.](0[1-9]|1[012])
to detect if my date:
2010-12-15
is valid. It's not working. What do I have wrong?
When Internet Explorer 5.01 for Windows hits the regular expression:
/(?=<)|>/
it complains about an unexpected quantifier. In fact, it seems to complain whenever I use a lookahead expression. Is there any way around this?
does anyone know how I can build a regular expression e.g. for the
string.search() function on runtime, depending on the content of
variables? Should be something like this:
var strkey = "something";
var str = "Somethin like this";
if( str.search( / + strkey + / ) > -1 )
{
...
}
I need a regular expression that will validate a double quote comma
delimited list where the odd entries are numeric and the even are
alphabetical. Each pair must also be on a separate line. For example:
"1","Peter"
"2","Paul"
"3","Mary"
I've used the following expression to validate comma delimited lists, but
without the double quotes, numeric/alpha pairing and line return
restriction.
^([A-Za-z0-9]?)+([,]s?([A-Za-z0-9]?)+)*$
All I'm trying to do is delete the lines which don't contain a particular
string. Actually a filter to edit a log file. I can find and replace a thing
with null, but can't figure out how to find the lines which do not contain
the thing.
Going further, I want to generalize and use a JavaScript variable containing
the decision string, but first I need to worry about the not-within-a-line
problem.

Here is the form in question: spraytechDOTcom/download_form.asp I am so close to getting this to work the way that I want, but here is what I am having an issue with: I cannot seem to make it look for the 12 digits that are in the phone numbers that we are going to collect. Ex. 800-123-4567
It doesn't have require 12 characters if there is another way to get the number to validate looking like the example above. Here is my regular expression that I am struggling with:
var re = /[^d-]$/ It seems to block any letters, but it will accept only 1 number. I would really like it to make sure that the phone number is only entered like this: 800-123-4567.
I have looked for days trying to figure this out and have only gotten close.
I'm trying to validate data in a textbox for township (usually written as 12N or 23S for Township 12 North or Township 23 South). In Utah the townships range from 01N to 15N, and 01S to 44S. The expression "/[0-9][0-4][ns]/i" will allow 01n (or s) through 94n (or s). If I change it to "/[0-4][0-4][ns]/i" to limit it to 44n (or s), I then am not allowing for 05, 06, 07, 08, and 09. I hope the above is not too confusing. I'm just starting to work with regular expressions.

I have huge amounts of knowledge doing this in PHP but trying out javascript.
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.
