Re: regex url validator?

As long as it doesn’t break autocomplete, I think moving the square brackets is a good idea. It makes it more accurate and clear that wildcard is what can be optionally omitted but regex must be included. Thanks, Brian On Oct 23, 2018, 4:54 PM -0500, Monte Goulding via use-livecode , wrote: >

Re: regex url validator?

thanks Sean and Alex for taking the lead on updating doc..Mark ..lots of examples is great idea. A whole new world has opened up. As a bonus from what I've read filtering using regular expressions are way faster than a repeat over an array. Thanks everyone for helping me out here

Re: regex url validator?

Tom, I've looked at the docs and I'm not sure how to make it much clearer. Perhaps you have a suggestion? The examples given are: local tVar put the propertyNames into tVar filter tVar with "[az]*" -- tVar contains all property names beginning with a or z This one is NOT a regular expression

Hi Bob, This function does more than what Tom was asking for, but included it so he could see the entire function. No, rsIsValidEmail_LC isn’t built into LiveCode, it’s part of the rsIsValid suite. Best, Steve > On Oct 23, 2018, at 10:54 AM, Bob Sneidar via use-livecode > wrote: > > This

Re: regex url validator?

I think the usability of regex for day to day programming can be stated as directly proportional to the percentage of professional software developers (the ones who *actually* make money at it) who could have come up with that regex string purely on their own. Bob S > On Oct 23, 2018, at

Re: regex url validator?

Ah... yes if you want to use a regex then you must specify the type of filterPattern using “regex pattern” because if not specified then “wildcard pattern” is assumed. Thanks, Brian On Oct 23, 2018, 9:56 AM -0500, Bob Sneidar via use-livecode , wrote: > I mean AN other function:

I originally used filter the lines of my_container with myregex or filter my_container with myregex none of the expressions worked. just blanked out. When I used the same form as Steve...it worked. filter my_container with regex pattern myregex into my_variable So is that a bug in
