That would work if it was in the query string. He's trying to URL encode a query string as part of a larger string... not the query string he's receiving.

Re: [ACFUG Discuss] Regex help
Steven beat me to that one. I was just typing that. Also, it depends on how you implement your form as well. If you use HTML forms and non-flash form with regex validation, then you have _javascript_ that can be turned off. Now if you implement a flash form, I believe the validation stays internal and not rendered as _javascript_. I believe the flash form SWF valdiation cannot be turned off from the browser's VM.

But if you're trying to do data validation, why wouldn't you throwout any data that doesn't match the regex [A-F0-9]{min,max}?-dhsDean H. Saxe, CISSP, CEH

I can figure out how to remove a number of disallowed characters from a string, but what if I want to include only a-f and 0-9 and discard everything else? so if a user supplies: E97152C6CF1DD198DE95C7F2C2EF5EA0, do nothing
if a user supplies E97152C6CF1DD198DE9;hackcode; it is supposed to return: E97152C6CF1DD198DE9accde Is that possible with a single regex? Or will I have to cycle through the string, and replace every character that doesn't match
[a-f]|[0-9] with nothing? Thanks! Mischa, - To unsubscribe from this list, manage your profile @

Re: [ACFUG Discuss] regex help
(\/\/)?[\s]+menu[0-9]+.addItem[^;]+This captured the complete line to include the comments and optional space in between the // to the menu.addItem method.All you need to do is make sure not to use the strings that start with //. TeddyThis will get any addItem lines. Just make sure to exclude the results that start with the comments.On 5/17/06, Dean H.
