RE: [Flashcoders] regular expressions in Flash8?
can we now use regularexpressions in Flash8 to manipulate strings? Yes, there are some regular expression classes floating out there for AS2/pre-Flash 9 people, have you googled those? Sorry I can't be more help than that.

Re: [Flashcoders] regular expressions in Flash8?
well... you can't really use regular expressions in flash8 unless you
let javascript in the browser do it for you. I don't think you need
regexp to solve your problem though. I think you could just do this:
var txt:String = test/descr /descr;
// replace /descr with /descr
txt = txt.split('/descr').join('/descr');
// replace /descr with /descr
txt = txt.split('/descr').join('/descr');

I need to replace all instances of /descr with /descr using
actionscript..
but.. some instances of /descr already exist and I do not
want to change those if possible. thanks for any insights.

// replace /descr with /descr
txt = txt.split('/descr').join('/descr');
Then
// replace /descr with /descr
txt = txt.split('/descr').join('/descr');

RE: [Flashcoders] Regular Expressions
RegEx performs greedy searches, so it would find a first and move past it, which would break the second pattern as it would just be b. In general you want to order your expressions from longer matching to shorter if one contains the other. Just think of it as gobbling up patterns before other patterns get a look at it. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Miguel Serrano Sent: 23 August 2006 06:25 PM To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Subject: [Flashcoders] Regular Expressions Hi list! I don't understand one issue of RegExp framework: the illustrative example: var pattern:RegExp = /(a)|(ab)/ pattern.exec(nnnabnnn); trace (result[0]) // output a pattern = /(ab)|(a)/ pattern.exec(nnnabnnn); trace (result[0]) // output ab Why this behaviour? shouldn't RegExp return the longest pattern founded in the string?. Calling exec several times with first expression never return ab It's supossed that conditional operator | is conmutative.

Re: [Flashcoders] Regular Expressions
Regex supports lazy matching as well using the '?' option on pretty much any quantifier.
