Yes Active4D.

Wishful thinking on my part too :).

Surely you meant Active4D.. I can only wish 4D had native regex functions...
heck, I can even wish I could use regex to query the database, instead of just
the "@" wildcard :)

The "/" pattern begin and end pattern markers are implementation dependent. They basically say "this string is a regex pattern". My experience is that in various languages you usually need them, especially where those languages offer a regex match operator.

It gets a little confusing with 4D because if you use QFree you don't specify them , but in 4D you do.

Nice, that worked.. did I miss something in
understanding regex, or something in the Active4D
manual? The regex pattern itself (for phone numbers) I
got off a Google search hit.

Hi Mehboob,

Try putting forward slashes around your pattern like
this:

$inPattern:="/^([(]?\d{3}[-)]\d{3}-\d{4})*$/"
That clears it up on this end!

Could someone point out what I'm doing wrong here?


    // phone regex: ^([(]?\d{3}[-)]\d{3}-\d{4})*$
$inPattern:="^([(]?\d{3}[-)]\d{3}-\d{4})*$"
    $inSubject:=[process]line3
    if(regex match($inPattern; $inSubject))
        writebold($inSubject)+"<BR>"
    else
        //
    end if

error message from Active4D

if(regex match($inPattern; $inSubject))
Missing delimiter in search pattern.


sincerely,
