Re: Why this regex takes so long?
Think this has something to do with the Regex itself. I stink at them;
however try plugging it in here:

It returns something about catastrophic backtracking.

Why this regex takes so long?
Hi, I'm having a problem with a scheduled task that chokes my server. Its role is to analyse bounced messages. I have been able to identify where it blocks, when analysing a line like this one with the regex below: "Message-id: <26823262.22036.1411993378646.JavaMail.NS4007563$@127.0.0.1>" The server seems to get stuck in an infinite loop. Actually, the problem is that the function REfind takes much too long. I narrowed the problem to the following code which shows that the time taken grows exponentially with the number of characters and is anyway abnormaly long : line = (#len(line)# char. = #line# result = #result# in #time# sec. And the result is: line = (17 char. = 000$@ result = 17 in 0.055 sec. line = (18 char. = $@ result = 18 in 0.028 sec. line = (19 char. = 0$@ result = 19 in 0.063 sec. line = (20 char. = 00$@ result = 20 in 0.113 sec. line = (21 char. = 000$@ result = 21 in 0.224 sec. line = (22 char. = $@ result = 22 in 0.447 sec. line = (23 char. = 0$@ result = 23 in 0.902 sec. line = (24 char. = 00$@ result = 24 in 1.787 sec. line = (25 char. = 000$@ result = 25 in 3.574 sec. line = (26 char. = $@ result = 26 in 7.192 sec. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:359388 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

RE: Regex help maybe
Thanks to everyone. I managed to come up with one similar to Byron's example
and then tweaked it further (No spaces) so I could use it in JS on the
client and CF on the server. I knew I could do it in 2 or three steps but
wanted one step so I could hand off the regex to the client for validation.

This would do one special, 3 consecutive numbers: ajfds123jdfs#
^(?=.*\d{3})(?=.*[\~\!\@\#\$\%\^\&\*\(\)\_\+]+).{10,20}$
This would do one special, 3 numbers any position: a#bcdef2k3#4^
^(?=.*\d.*\d.*\d)(?=.*[\~\!\@\#\$\%\^\&\*\(\)\_\+]+).{10,20}$
And if your restricting to just numbers and the special chars outline,
replace the last "." in either to this.
[\d\~\!\@\#\$\%\^\&\*\(\)\_\+]
So like this in the second variant:
^(?=.*\d.*\d.*\d)(?=.*[\~\!\@\#\$\%\^\&\*\(\)\_\+]+)[\d\~\!\@\#\$\%\^\&\*\(\)\_\+]{10,20}$
Plenty of online regex testers as well so you don't have to keep coding it
up to tweak.

Re: Regex help maybe
X{10,20} means that X should exist at least 10 times but no more than 20
times
[0-9] means any single number from 0 till 9
[0-9]{3} means any 3 numbers of 0-9 one after the other
[~!@#$%^&*()_+] means a single character from the set of characters defined
between the brackets
Now do you want 3 numbers one after the other or that there should be 3
numbers in the string total? Can you send a few example strings or talk
about how it will be used? Also, do you want a single regex to do it all or
can be it be in 2-3 steps (easiest)?

Struggling to code accents into a cfinput regex pattern
I am still trying to code a regex pattern for my cfinput that accepts the usual
accented characters you find in languages such as French. I need something that
allows people to enter their names when they contain accented characters. I
realize that names can be even broader than this but I am quite happy to
include all of the traditional alphabet, blanks, quotes, hyphens and accented
characters. What I would like to code is this: pattern="^[a-zA-ZÀ-ÿ'\-\
]{1,50}$"
But it seems that when I insert the little piece À-ÿ it fails inside the
ColdFusion javascript.
Is there some way I can code this in my cfinput pattern so that the regex does
accept that range of accented characters?

Re: How do you allow accented characters in a cfinput regex?
OK, I think I tried what you suggested--here is exactly what I did:
Added this to the page:
Made the cfinput:
This now allows nearly anything in the field, including characters that are not
valid in names, such as $ or slash. It also leaves out the {2,50} length spec.
So it doesn't seem to do what I need.

It is possible that cf regex doesn't support unicode, so you should perform
some basic tests to confirm that, plus make sure the string your testing is
in unicode format

Re: More Complicated RegEx Replace

Not sure you can call them a "guru" when the only piece of regex used is a pair
of parentheses which are entirely unnecessary. *shrug*
Here's a simpler version that does exactly the same thing:
REReplaceNoCase
( answer
, search_string
, '\0'
, 'all'
)
However, what that isn't doing is escaping potential regex metacharacters
inside search_string (which could then result in unexpected behaviour).
If you can't guarantee there will not be any metacharacters present, you need
to do this:
REReplaceNoCase
( answer
, search_string.replaceAll('[$^*()+\[\]{}.?\\|]','\\$0')
, '\0'
, 'all'
)
(Which prefixes the relevant characters with a backslash to escape them.)
Anyhow, as for your actual problem, regex is not a good tool for parsing HTML
(which is what you're asking to be done by excluding tag attributes from
matching).
What you need to do is use a HTML parsing library, such as jSoup, to isolate
the text segments within HTML tags, and loop through performing your replace
operation on each of those in turn (recursing down through any child tags as
required).
Using jSoup, this can be achieved with the textNodes() method, to access the
individual segments of text and child nodes:
http://jsoup.org/apidocs/org/jsoup/nodes/Element.html#textNodes()
If you're unfamiliar with using JARs in CF, Ben Nadel has a post on using jSoup
with CF10:

More Complicated RegEx Replace
This is the replace statement a regex guru gave me to wrap a variable found in a string in a span tag. # REReplaceNoCase(answer, '(#search_string#)', '\1', 'all')# It works great, but the variable contains html and it's also replacing stuff inside of HTML tags. Example: if the string was "pool" I'm getting results like becomes pools.cfm"> or becomes pool_picture.jpg"> Is there anything I can do to EITHER NOT do the replace when it's part of an href or img src, OR UNDO the replace if it's inside an href or img src tag? Either would achieve the same results. Any help is appreciated. This is truly beyond my regex skill level.

Re: CFHTTP & Regex... I'm horrible at regex
So you want the XXX in the following? Total Impressions XXX Impressions What you want is (.*?) (.*?) = capture any character, zero or more times, but only as many as needed until the next part of the expression. This will capture everything until a closing . I did it this way just in case there is a value in it with brackets. If its only going to be numbers then ([0-9]+) will work. If this is not exactly what your looking for, please give some more details and I'll craft something better.

Not only can you do it with jQuery, you /should/ do it with jQuery (or equiv). Regex is not built for HTML parsing, and there are many reasons why it wont work correctly when you try.

RegEx Question
Hi All, First time posting in a very long time. I'm stuck on a RegEx problem that I can't wrap my head around. I need to have a block of html and I need to add target="_blank" to any hyperlink that has a pdf link in it. Any suggestions? Here is the match string I tried so far but I don't think I'm even close. "]*href=['\\\"]( (?i:)(?:jpg|gif|doc|pdf)$*)" If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.

Regex help needed
I am having an issue creating a regex to strip out the XML content that Word 2007 is adding our HTML editor. we are using TINYMEC and when one of our client upgraded recently it has created a large number of issues. what we need to do is to pull out the flowing content. it starts with there is about 1000 chars between the nodes and sometimes there are muliple set of nodes with the same IF and endif I was trying to create a regex to strip out this content - everything from the begining to the end (I want NONE of it). if anyone has any other suggestion we are all ears here. Thanks - I am just not great at this regex stuff and can not get the correct statement.

[:digit:] seems like a lot of typing to just say \d, and why the extra character brackets around the outside?

reReplace(rc.hourlyRateInvoicedToClient, "[^[:digit:]\.]", "", "all") A set [] takes all the options in it as options, so escape the . with \. and you should be good to go.

Regex is not my strong suit, but someone may know this off the top of their head. If I have a long url like: http://www.mysite.com/item1/option2/part3/section4 I can use cgi.path_info to get the /item1/option2/part3/section4 part of the string.

Re: REGEX hell
In this situation, there is no real difference between lazy or greedy - because the quantified item is mutually exclusive with the next characters - i.e. "\s+" cannot match "\)" - so it will always consume to the end of the whitespace. It is better to not assume lazy or greedy as a 'default' and always decide which one makes sense for the current scenario. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:339535 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Re: REGEX hell
I agree that the * (0 or more) should be avoided unless needed but in this case I felt it was. There may or may not be a space. There may be more than one space. There may be a space character being seen as a space (like a tab). Because we don't know if a space will actually exist, the * is needed. The +? (1 or more but as few as needed) assumes that at least one space exists. As a rule I don't over-worry about using * when it's used with a \s (space) unless I really have to.

Re: REGEX hell
no need to escape the space char with a slash. are you sure it is only 1 space, and are you sure it is a space char (chr(32))? If so, remove the slash in front of the space, and it should work. also, pet peeve, no need for the ## around the function. Works either way, though, so ignore if you prefer.

Hi all, I need help in parsing returned cfhttp.filecontent contents. I need to find the line with "AUTHORIZATION RESULT: " and then get all the text that follows on that same line. I'm sure there's a simple way to do that with ReFind, but I'm a Regex idiot. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Change the quote in the database to a standard ascii " character and the XMLFormat() should pick it up and change it to the character entity in the output (which should eliminate the need for the CDATA block as well. Alternately, if you switch the character encoding modes and the encoding of your XML file to UTF-8 all around (and the application you're importing to properly supports Unicode) then that may also allow the character to remain without error. -Justin Scott ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:338779 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
HELP!!! REgEx, XML and a Qutation Mark
I am trying to export our product list to an XML feed. It works pretty well except that one of the products, has a quotation mark in it that nothing seems to like. I believe it is a cut and past issue and that the quotation mark is a special character. It is this one right here â No matter what I do I cannot get rid of this thing. And if I do search in the resulting file, I cannot search for a " because it is not the same. I am doing this, and that is not getting rid of it... â","","ALL") /> and I am wrapping the tag like this... What else can I do, besides go into the database and delete it. I would like a code solution. Thanks in advance. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:338778 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Re: Quick Regex Question
Robert, Actually, the underscore is counted as an alphanumeric in regular expressions. Try just replacing \W with nothing and see what you get. nathan strutz [http://www.dopefly.com/] [http://hi.im/nathanstrutz] On Fri, Oct 29, 2010 at 7:41 AM, Robert Harrison wrote: > > I have the regex statement - ReReplace(new_dir,"\W","","all") > > That removes all non-alphanumeric characters from a sting. > > If I want to remove all non-alphanumeric characters except the underscore, > is that:ReReplace(new_dir,"\W/_","","all") or ? > > Thanks > > > Robert B.
