    I need to Match the second and subsequent occurances of the * character using a regular expression.

Thanks

  • Is it possible to use re2 from Python?

    - by flow
    i just discovered http://code.google.com/p/re2, a promising library that uses a long-neglected way (Thompson NFA) to implement a regular expression engine that can be orders of magnitudes faster than the available engines of awk, Perl, or Python. so i downloaded the code and did the usual sudo make install thing. however, that action had seemingly done little more than adding /usr/local/include/re2/re2.h to my system. there seemed to be some `*.a file in addition, but then what is it with this *.a extension? i would like to use re2 from Python (preferrably Python 3.1) and was excited to see files like make_unicode_groups.py in the distro (maybe just used during the build process?). those however were not deployed on my machine. how can i use re2 from Python?

  • Java Matcher groups: Understanding The difference between "(?:X|Y)" and "(?:X)|(?:Y)"

    - by user358795
    Can anyone explain: Why the two patterns used below give different results? (answered below) Why the 2nd example gives a group count of 1 but says the start and end of group 1 is -1? public void testGroups() throws Exception { String TEST_STRING = "After Yes is group 1 End"; { Pattern p; Matcher m; String pattern="(?:Yes|No)(.*)End"; p=Pattern.compile(pattern); m=p.matcher(TEST_STRING); boolean f=m.find(); int count=m.groupCount(); int start=m.start(1); int end=m.end(1); System.out.println("Pattern=" + pattern + "\t Found=" + f + " Group count=" + count + " Start of group 1=" + start + " End of group 1=" + end ); } { Pattern p; Matcher m; String pattern="(?:Yes)|(?:No)(.*)End"; p=Pattern.compile(pattern); m=p.matcher(TEST_STRING); boolean f=m.find(); int count=m.groupCount(); int start=m.start(1); int end=m.end(1); System.out.println("Pattern=" + pattern + "\t Found=" + f + " Group count=" + count + " Start of group 1=" + start + " End of group 1=" + end ); } } Which gives the following output: Pattern=(?:Yes|No)(.*)End Found=true Group count=1 Start of group 1=9 End of group 1=21 Pattern=(?:Yes)|(?:No)(.*)End Found=true Group count=1 Start of group 1=-1 End of group 1=-1

  • Extract a regular expression match in R version 2.10

    - by tovare
    Hi, I'm trying to extract a number from a string. And do something like this [0-9]+ on this string "aaaa12xxxx" and get "12". I thought it would be something like: > grep("[0-9]+","aaa12xxx", value=TRUE) [1] "aaa12xxx" And then I figured... > sub("[0-9]+", "\\1", "aaa12xxxx") [1] "aaa12xxx" But I got some form of response doing: > sub("[0-9]+", "ARGH!", "aaa12xxxx") [1] "aaaARGH!xxx" There's a small detail I'm missing Please advice :-) I'm using R version 2.10.1 (2009-12-14) Thanks ! Comments on the solution The best solution is to ignore the standard functions and install Hadley Wickham's stringr package to get something that actually makes sense. Kudos to Marek for figuring out how the standard library worked.

  • combining dynamic text with regular expressions in php

    - by pfunc
    I am experimenting with finding popular keywords using curl, php and regular expressions. I have an array of non-specific nouns that I am matching my keyword search up. So I am looking for words like "the", "and", "that" etc. and taking them out of the keyword search. so I have an array of words like so: $wordArr = [the, and, at,....]; and then running something like: && preg_match('(\bmyword\w*\b)', $key) == false how do I combine these two so it loops through the array finding out if any of the words in the array match the regular expression? I guess I could just do a for loop, but though maybe I could use in_array($wordArr, $key).. or something like that.

  • Matching First Alphanumeric Character skipping (The |An? )

    - by TheLizardKing
    I have a list of artists, albums and tracks that I want to sort using the first letter of their respective name. The issue arrives when I want to ignore "The ", "A ", "An " and other various non-alphanumeric characters (Talking to you "Weird Al" Yankovic and [dialog]). Django has a nice start '^(An?|The) +' but I want to ignore those and a few others of my choice. I am doing this in Django, using a MySQL db with utf8_bin collation. EDIT Well my fault for not mentioning this but the database I am accessing is pretty much ready only. It's created and maintained by Amarok and I can't alter it without a whole mess of issues. That being said the artist table has The Chemical Brothers listed as The Chemical Brothers so I think I am stuck here. It probably will be slow but that's not so much of a concern for me as it's a personal project.

  • How to get everything in the string, but a particular pattern

    - by José Leal
    Yet another regexp question: I have a string as the following, "This is a string, and I have a priority !1" So I want to build a regexp that extracts my priority, which is this number 1 preceded by the "!". To extract it is very easy, "!([1-4])". But now I want to extract the text, leaving it out! How can I do that? DETAIL: The !1 can be anywhere in the string, so this is also perfectly fine: "This is a string, !1 and I have a priority" Thanks! UPDATE: I'm using scala

  • Freely-available, well-debugged regular expressions

    - by fsb
    I was reading ICU documentation and came across this fine advice: For common tasks like this there are libraries of freely available regular expressions that have been well debugged. It's worth making a quick search before writing a new expression. To which libraries of well-debugged regular expressions do you commonly refer? I'm not much taken with http://regexlib.com where the expressions don't seem all that well debugged. It appears to have no QA process besides user comments and ratings.

  • Python comparing string against several regular expressions

    - by maerics
    I'm pretty experienced with Perl and Ruby but new to Python so I'm hoping someone can show me the Pythonic way to accomplish the following task. I want to compare several lines against multiple regular expressions and retrieve the matching group. In Ruby it would be something like this: STDIN.each_line do |line| case line when /^A:(.*?)$/ then puts "FOO: #{$1}" when /^B:(.*?)$/ then puts "BAR: #{$1}" # when ... else puts "NO MATCH: #{line}" end end My attempts in Python are turning out pretty ugly because the matching group is returned from a call to match/search on a regular expression and Python has no assignment in conditionals or switch statements. What's the Pythonic way to do (or think!) about this problem?

  • Explain a block of crazy JS code inside Sizzle(the CSS selector engine)

    - by Andy Li
    So, here is the function for pre-filtering "CHILD": function(match){ if ( match[1] === "nth" ) { // parse equations like 'even', 'odd', '5', '2n', '3n+2', '4n-1', '-n+6' var test = /(-?)(\d*)n((?:\+|-)?\d*)/.exec( match[2] === "even" && "2n" || match[2] === "odd" && "2n+1" || !/\D/.test( match[2] ) && "0n+" + match[2] || match[2]); // calculate the numbers (first)n+(last) including if they are negative match[2] = (test[1] + (test[2] || 1)) - 0; match[3] = test[3] - 0; } // TODO: Move to normal caching system match[0] = done++; return match; } The code is extracted from line 442-458 of sizzle.js. So, why is the line var test = ..., have the exec inputing a boolean? Or is that really a string? Can someone explain it by splitting it into a few more lines of code?

  • Need a regular expression for an Irish phone number

    - by Eoghan O'Brien
    I need to validate an Irish phone number but I don't want to make it too user unfriendly, many people are used to writing there phone number with brackets wrapping their area code followed by 5 to 7 digits for their number, some add spaces between the area code or mobile operator. The format of Irish landline numbers is an area code of between 1 and 4 digits and a number of between 5 to 8 digits. e.g. (021) 9876543 (01)9876543 01 9876543 (0402)39385 I'm looking for a regular expression for Javascript/PHP. Thanks.
