This is great - thanks for explaining, helps a lot.
the original expression I posted works this tool : http://gskinner.com/RegExr
I would love to know what magic Grant is using to get it working in his RegExp
utility.
Thank you Anthony.

Hello lovely list...I am trying to run a RegExp pattern on a String, and am not
too sure why it's not working, and am not too sure why.
Here is the code:

var r : RegExp= new RegExp(
I just plugged it into RegExr http://www.regexr.com and I can't make sense

Try using that tool to build it. It really helps

Hi Karim and Ktu,
Below is an explanation of what appears to be going on in the given pattern:
(?:\s*)
is a greedy non-capturing group of whitespace
(?=[-|/])
is looking behind the next section of the expression, (?name\w*),
for, what is in this case, a character set; as well, it does so
Looks like it worked.
Tried a dozen OCR sites and none could match any letters.
There may be a super OCR bot somewhere, but not really worried.
Anyone know of somewhere I can test further, similar to what the bots
use?
I figure this question may have a taboo answer, just want to be sure.
I guess you were using AS2? There is no native RegEx in AS2, though, so I don't
see how you were going to use AS3 in AS2. In AS3, you should NEVER use anything
other than ints to iterate integer values. Don't use uint, and don't use Number.
That code I provided is code I wrote and tested in
And just to add to this, in AS3, I never use Array anymore for the very reason
that passing an out of range value returns undefined instead of throwing an out
of range error. So, I always use Vector.

Ah, yes, I thought I has stated that. I am using AS2.
I tried setting the Math.random first and then I used Math.floor,
that seemed to work,
but I put an extra catch and set up a..
if(ranCode == undefined){
ranCode = 0;
}
and so a zero gets added instead of any undefined
and that
RegEx isn't really used for what you're talking about.
You should use ascii codes to create your alphanumeric array and then choose
random indexes from it to create your random string.
var i:int;
var alphaNumeric:Array = [];
for (i = 97; i 123; ++i)
{
Ah thanks Steve.
So is 97 to 123 the placement of upper and lowercase letters and the
numbers on the CharCode chart?
and are the upper and lowercase letters 32 letters apart on the chart?
Trying to understand where you got these values. Your solution is
very good and interesting to me.
Also,

a-z = 97-122
A-Z = 65-90
97 - 65 = 32
a-z = 26 letters
A-Z = 26 letters
0-9 = 10 numbers
26 + 26 + 10 = 62

If don't want to learn the ascii codes by heart (or look them up), you can
use charCodeAt() like this:
var first:int = (A).charCodeAt(0);
var last:int = (Z).charCodeAt(0);
for (var i:int = first; i = last; i++) {
trace(String.fromCharCode(i));
}

Thanks Juan, Thanks Jim.
@Steve
I noticed with your example I get undefined as one of the results.
Also, I had to change the var i:int; to var i:number = 0;
I got an error with int saying it could not load the class or
interface for int.
What am I missing here?

Hi I have an array that I think could use some shortening.
It is an array of the alphabet and numbers that I use to get a random
letter/number combo from.
I am sure there is a better way to do this. Maybe a regExp?
In essence, I want to get a random combo of Upper and lowercase
letters and

Hi list...
I have some input text box with a go button that is enabled or disabled based
on an Event.CHANGE for the TextInput. As someone types in a string, a go
button becomes enabled or disabled, but I want the *entire* text in the text
box to be considered, not just a matched substring.
Hi Michael,
Firstly, I'm not quite sure your expression is right - it says g
_or_ 1 or 2 or 3 as the first character, whereas your sample starts
with a g then a 1.
But anyway - what you need to do is to test for the beginning and
end of the string. In regular expressions, you do this with the

Use ^ to lock to the begining of the string and $ to lock to the end of
the string, use both and it will not be allowed anything other than the
expression.
Thanks very much Ian and Henrik. The ^ and $ was exactly what I was looking
for.

Hi list...
I'm debating using a RegExp to search for a value in E4X, or do it by searching

through an array of these values. Anyone have any
You, sir, are a victim of premature optimization.
Write it the easy way. If it proves to be a bottleneck later, optimize it then.

To get this to also work with just the year you may replace [^\d] with

Or even better Replace [^\d] with \b which should also work.
