Let's say I've got a chunk of source code like so:
<form name="frmLogin" action="index.cfm?action=tomlinson.setTestForm"
method="post">
<table width="45%" align="left" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="1"
class="subHeader">
<tr valign="middle" bgcolor="ffffff">
<td width="20%" align="right">Username</td>
<td width="20%" align="left"><input class="req" type="text" name="usrID"
size="20" value="#variables.frmData.usrID#" /></td>
</tr>
etc...
So it can have almost any kind of character in it.
Now, let's say I want to check the beginning for whatever, in this case, I want
a match if it has a newline or carriage return at the beginning.
(?i)^[\r\s]+[.\r\s\S]*
With this regex i'm trying to say, look for the newline/tab/c.return at the
start of the text, and allow ANYthing afterwards. I don't care what comes
after, allow it.
My problem is understanding the \S (non whitespace) in the 2nd []. If I remove
it, I don't have a match. if I include it,I DO have a match. What is in that
chunk of text that isn't being matched, that .\r\s won't match.
What's the best way to say look, I don't care what comes AFTER this specific
piece of the regex that matches. Allow EVERYthing.
Make sense?
Thanks,
Will
