I have not really thought of a way to address that yet. I actually am just
trying reg ex for the first time. I am fortunate that I am able to write
scripts with functioning reg ex already.
However, I am having another stumbling block.
Can I ask regex questions here? If irs not really possible then you can
disregard this email. You guys have been a lot of help anyway already.
I have a regex that looks like this:
\<a href=\"#\"\s\w{7}=\"if\(typeof jsfcljs ==
\'function\'\)\{jsfcljs\(document.forms\[\'(.+?)\'],\'(.+?),(.+?),\w{15},(\d{1,3}),\w{24},(\d{1,3})\',\'\'\);\}return
false\"\>\w{4}\<\a\>
The first match is the one I need. Well the ones I actually need appears in the
response for at least 3 times. I intend to get a random one from the matches to
be used in a sampler parameter.
My problem is that the 2nd to nth matches are too long. They include things
that I do not need. The cause of it is the third group... I only used (.+?) for
it. Is there a way I can get something like 'j_id_id37:j_id_id39:1:j_id_id131'
with a different expression? The only thing I can assume is that the string
length stays the same give or take 1 or 2 of the last digits.

I believe .+? makes regex's slow.
