Regex problem

[Merlin]

Hi there,

I have a regex problem.

Basicly I do not want to match:

/dir/test/contact.html

But I do want to match:
/test/contact.html

I tryed this one:
^[!dir]/(.*)/contact(.*).html$

but it does not work and I tryed thousands of other ways plus read
tutorials.

Can anybody please help?

Thanx in advance

[Merlin]

> ^\/test\/contact.html$

does not work. I am sorry, I just found that

it has to be:
test/contact.html

and not
dir/test/contact.html

there is no leading slash.

Do you have any other suggestion?

ufff.. sorry guys, but I have to explain that better. I appreciate your
help, maybe I did not give enough info.

I am trying to redirect with apache modrewrite. To do this you have to use
regex (not if functions:-)

My problem is, that there are member accounts which look like that:

membername/contact.html

and there are partner accounts which look like this:

partner/name/contact.html

The goal is to redirect only if it is a member account. If I put a
(.*)/contact.html it also matches the partner/
I tryed putting a root / infront, but there is not / root for the url from
apaches point of view.

So I would need a regex which will match the member account, but if the
first word is "partner" it should
not terminate.

This seems to be a tough one!

Thanx for any help,

Merlin

ah - maybe a chain of rewrites would do?

send all matches of /^partner\/(.*)\/contact.html$/ to partner\/\1\/blah
send all matches of /^(.*)\/contact.html$/ to NEWLOCATION
send all matches of /^partner\/(.*)\/blah$/ to partner\/\1\/contact.html

Good idea,

but does not work either - surprisingly! -

There should be a clean way with regex for this task.


Andy regex expert in here?

I have a directory of files that I want to move to another directory.
(eg. ALLY20030111W.eps
TEST W20030122
HELP WANTED20030901WW.eps
GIRL WATCH BIRD 20030101
etc..)

I want to be able to parse the filename and replace the date portion
with any date (eg $1="ALLY" $2="20030111" $3="W" $4=".eps")
Then I want to make $2="20030925" and if $3 is empty then I assign ".eps"
to $3 or if $4 is empty then assign ".eps"


How do I do this?

#!/usr/bin/perl
# move_file.plx
use warnings;
use strict;

$source = "/path/to/source/";
$destination = "/path/to/destination/";
$query = "([A-Za-z]+)(\s*?)([0-9]*)(\s*?)([A-Za-z]*)([eps])"
opendir DH, $source or die "Couldn't open the current directory:
$source"; while ($_ = readdir(DH)) {
next if $_ eq "." or $_ eq "..";

if (/$query/) {
print "Copying $_ ...\n";
rename $source$_, $destination$_;
print "file copied successfully.\n";
}
}

What's wrong with my code. Am I overlooking something?

[leegold]

Notice I have to use the lines twice:

"$line =~ s/###\s*?###/###empty###/g;
$line =~ s/###\s*?###/###empty###/g;"

in order to get the desired result. I've been playing
for a long time but can't get it w/one regex expression. I wondered
if I can put one regex into a loop(?) I think it has to do w/greedy
vs. non-greedy. The code's is rough sorry - please find the output
below too hjope you'll see what I'm trying and that repetive regex's
are not a good solution - does anyone know the trick?

Thanx,
Lee





#!/usr/bin/perl -wT
use strict;
use CGI qw(:standard);
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);

print header, start_html('Tag Conversion'), h1('Tag Conversion');
my $infile = param("in_file");
my $count;
if ($infile) {

chomp($infile);
print p("Input file: $infile");
open (INFILE, "<$infile") || die "can't open '$infile': $!";
my $line = <INFILE>;
while ($line =~ /###/g)
{ $count++ }
print p("There are $count fields in a record");
print p("$line");
$line =~ s/^\d+//;
print p("$line");
# my $repl = '###empty###';
$line =~ s/###\s*?###/###empty###/g;
$line =~ s/###\s*?###/###empty###/g;
print p("$line");
}
elsif (param()) { # for sake of our discussion this block is not called

my $infile = param("in_file");
chomp($infile);

print p("Input file: $infile");

open (INFILE, "<$infile") || die "can't open '$infile': $!";

while (<INFILE>) {
chomp;
s/^\d+//;
my @rec_array = split( /###/, $_);
print p($_);
print p("@rec_array\n");
}
}
else { # what user sees 1st
print start_form();
print p("What's your input file?: ", textfield("in_file"));
print p(submit("Create Tagged File"));
print end_form();
}
print end_html;


-----OUTPUT--------

I am trying to do a regular expression in Flex 3 actionscript:

private function parseImageUrl(fromHtml:XMLList):String
{

var pattern:RegExp = /"image\/jpeg" src="(.+?)" /;
var results:Array = pattern.exec(fromHtml);
var imageURL:String = results[1]; // backreference 1 from
pattern

return imageURL;
}

This is the string that I am passing in:

<content type="image/jpeg"
src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/bryan/SBkgbpMm7dI/AAAAAAAAACo/PbmSgITG5iU/P4290026.JPG
" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"
xmlnspenSearch="http://a9.com/-/spec/opensearchrss/1.0/"
xmlns:exif="http://schemas.google.com/photos/exif/2007"
xmlns:geo="http://www.w3.org/2003/01/geo/wgs84_pos#"

xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/"
xmlns:batch="http://schemas.google.com/gdata/batch"
xmlns:gphoto="http://schemas.google.com/photos/2007"/>

I have tested the regular expression here
[url]http://www.regular-expressions.info/javascriptexample.html[/url] and it says it is
valid. So what do I seem to be doing wrong?

TIA,

Bryan

The following code seems to work, and I did not alter your regex.

output:
