[regex-coach] bug in os x regex coach
by Alan Ruttenberg 08 Dec '04

08 Dec '04

Thanks for this - looks quite useful! Just downloaded and was about to explore a regex I am working on. [+*]\d+ gives the notice "Unknown token FAKE-ENTRY in parse tree" The target string is "+100929 asd;askjd;;" BTW, various emacs key bindings don't work - arrows, control-[bfpn] and copy and paste are not available. Thanks again, Alan

[regex-coach] Two Problems
by Snow Squall 24 Nov '04

24 Nov '04

Hello, first time poster... I have two issues that i can't seem to track down.... 1. I'm looking for a rule that will eliminate the following. I'm looking for all of my web pages that have some snippit of code before the <!DOCTYPE... my <!DOCTYPE should start the HTML on my web pages... I've seen individuals sneak the following code in:  <!DOCTYPE HTML Public ..ect... So is there a regex construct that will fail if any characters are found before <!DOCTYPE ??? 2. Secondly, looking to find ONLY the .PDF's inside a test.com domain. I wish to match the pattern http://www.test.com/snow/squall/index.pdf . I know to start my regex as http://www\.test\.com but how do i ignore all the directory stuff and key in on the .pdf extension. Thanks

[regex-coach] Mac OS X version bugs
by Ray Zimmerman 13 Nov '04

Looks like a great tool once the bugs are out ... I tried a simple case in the Mac OS X version ... Reg-Ex: text\d Target String: text0123text It just says ... Unknown token FAKE-ENTRY in parse-tree Also, it appears the cursor keys do not work for editing the reg-ex and target strings. - Ray

[regex-coach] manual "recalc"
by Dennis Williamson 09 Nov '04

It would be nice to have a manual "recalc" mode so text and regexes could be entered without being evaluated until a button is clicked or "recalc" mode is turned back on. Dennis

[regex-coach] highlight suggestion
by Anthony Bautista Jr. 09 Nov '04

09 Nov '04

Greetings, I am new to this mailing list & tool & have to see that it definitely has potential to be a very helpful tool / coach. In going through some basic examples, I have observed the following issue: For... Regular Expression: a+ Target String: Mary had a little lamb. And everywhere that Mary went, the lamb was sure to go. ... and while 'g' checkbox is checked, only the first 'a' character is highlighted yellow in the 'Target String' box. It would be nice & consistent with the 'Match from 1 to 2', 'Replace' tab for all the 'a' characters to highlight whilst the 'g' (replace globally) checkbox is checked. My thoughts are that the 'g' checkbox should be a global setting that will affect the 'Replace' tab & 'Split' tab. That is, if the 'g' is unchecked, then only the first match is replaced and split (and highlighted, my main concern) consistently, but if checked, then all matches would be hit. FYI - I'd like to share my first success, an expression that can be used to partially hide credit card numbers transmission in clear text over the net (like for order / invoice confirmations etc...): ([^{1}])([0-9]{10}) or [^{1}][0-9]{10} Anyhow, thanks in advance & I look forward to feedback re: my suggestion

[regex-coach] [:alnum:]
by Veit Guna 09 Nov '04

09 Nov '04

Hi there. First of all great job you've done there with RegEx Coach :)! While I was testing some regular expressions for logcheck (a program to check logfiles e.g. syslog etc. :)), I noticed, that the expression [:alnum:] for alphanumeric characters (used with egrep) isn't recognized correctly. I think it's because CL-PPCRE is used, is that correct? Will there be alnum support in some way in the furure? B.R. Veit Guna

[regex-coach] Mac beta version
by Edi Weitz 22 Oct '04

22 Oct '04

Hi! I've just uploaded a Mac version of the Regex Coach to <http://weitz.de/files/regex-coach.dmg.gz>. If you're interested in an OS X version of this program please try it out and report any bugs or problems you come across. Please note that I currently consider this a beta release. It has the same code base as the Windows and Linux versions but there are some threading issues that are Mac-only. Also, from my limited testing on my wife's iBook the application felt rather slow and unstable compared to the Windows version but maybe that's just me. Feel free to forward this email to other people who might be interested. Cheers, Edi.

[regex-coach] ".+" and ".+?" with optional parenthesized text
by John Clements 22 Aug '04

22 Aug '04

Hello, This is my first post to this list. I have looked through the archives (searched on "greedy" and some other terms, actually) but don't find anything that seems to relate to my problem. So I'm writing to see if anyone else on the list has encountered something like this. There is something about the "." operator, especially the "non-greedy" version of it, and in particular its behaviour when used in conjunction with a parenthesized term which is optional. I've put the pattern and a sample target string and written comments about the results I get from Regex Coach. I ran the pattern with "i" checked. Pattern: ^\s*An appeal.+?(Joined )?Cases? ?t ?[-] ?\d{1,3}\/ ?\d{2}.+?(between)? Target string: An appeal against the judgment delivered on 15 January 2003 by the Second Chamber (Extended Composition) of the Court of First Instance of the European Communities in joined cases T-377/00 (1), T-379/00 (2), T-380/00 (2), T-260/01 (3) and T-272/01 (4) between Philip Morris International, Inc., R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Holdings, Inc., RJR Acquisition Corp., R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, R.J. Reynolds Tobacco International Inc., and Japan Tobacco, Inc., and Commission of the European Communities, supported by European Parliament, Kingdom of Spain, French Republic, Italian Republic, Portuguese Republic, Republic of Finland, Federal Republic of Germany, Hellenic Republic, Kingdom of the Netherlands, was brought before the Court of Justice of the European Communities on 25 March 2003 by R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Holdings, Inc., established in Winston-Salem, North Carolina (United States), RJR Acquisition Corp., established in Wilmington, Delaware (United States), R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, established in Winston-Salem, North Carolina (United States), R.J. Reynolds Tobacco International Inc., established in Winston-Salem, North Carolina (United States) and Japan Tobacco, Inc., established in Tokyo (Japan), represented by O.W. Brouwer, lawyer, and P. Lomas, solicitor. ============ What I want it to do is match the string from the beginning through "between", and when there is no instance of "between", I want it to match the entire string. I would expect the example above to give me a match on 0-259 (i.e. through "between". But instead I get a match only on 0-189 (through the first case number). This makes no sense to me whatsoever. I would consider it a bug but Regex Coach and Perl v5.8.3 on FreeBSD give me the same results. ^\s*An appeal.+?(Joined )?Cases? ?t ?[-] ?\d{1,3}\/ ?\d{2}.+(between)? gives me a match on 0-1279 (the whole string). Why doesn't it stop when it finds "between"? ^\s*An appeal.+?(Joined )?Cases? ?t ?[-] ?\d{1,3}\/ ?\d{2}.+?(between) gives me the match I expect, 0-259. ^\s*An appeal.+?(Joined )?Cases? ?t ?[-] ?\d{1,3}\/ ?\d{2}.+(between) also gives me the match I expect, 0-259. But if I make the "(between)" optional, by putting a "?" after it, - the regex engine doesn't stop there when the ".+" is greedy, and - the regex engine doesn't find "between" when the ".+" is non-greedy, i.e. ".+?" Can anyone enlighten me? Many thanks, John Clements
