RegExLib.com - The first Regular Expression Library on the Web!

The regex validate a quoted string in VBScript or Ansi SQL. The string may contain the containing quote character if it is escaped by being doubled up. In VB/VBScript two double quotes within a string enclosed in double qoutes translate into one double quote within the string In SQL two single quotes within a string enclosed in single qoutes translate into one single quote within the string

Updated, changed [\w]* to [\w]+ because pattern should not match Sub (), there would be no function name which would be incorrect. Will extract function declarations from ASP or also VB I assume. Will even capture declarations that break across new lines or ones that use the underscore(line continuation character) in Microsoft's VB, VBA, ASP, etc. Had to put this together to document some code on a project and didn't see anything like it on the web. I hope it helps out anyone else who has to re-engineer ASP or VB code.

The goal of this regular expression is to replace all & (ampersand) characters by & if they are not the start of HTML entities. I used http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_entitiesref.asp as a reference. You can then use RegExp Replace method to do the work. Was helpful for me, might helpful be for you...

This expression validates for valid C# or C++ identifier

This will match all tags in a string, it's good for stripping HTML or XML tags to get the plain text.It works with attributes that include javascript or "<>". It will match all these <hr size="3" noshade color="#000000" align="left"> <p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px" align="center"><font face="Times New Roman" size="5"><b>UNITED STATES</b></font></p> <input type=button onclick='if(n.value>5)do_this();'> not this <br> <input type=button onclick="n>5?a():b();" value=test> not this <br> <input type=button onclick="n>5?a(\"OK\"):b('Not Ok');" value=test> not this <br> <input type=button onclick='n>5' value=test onmouseover="n<5&&n>8" onmouseout='if(n>5)alert(\'True\');else alert("False")'> not this <br>

Matches the copyright symbol (©). Pretty simple, yet I dont think existed on RegExLib before.

Find HTML tags that have javascript events attached to them.

HTML Pattern Matching PLEASE HELP /<[^>]*>/ig The above pattern is only successful when html tag are simple (they don't include any javascript). This mean that the pattern will fail if something like this is within the tag <input type=button value=test onclick='if(n.value>5)do_this();'>. It will not match the entire open n close sign. How do you write a pattern that will pass all these tag so that the pattern will match from the open to the close sign and not when it just see a > within a '' or "". <input type=button onclick='if(n.value>5)do_this();'> not this <br> <input type=button onclick="n>5?a():b();" value=test> not this <br> <input type=button onclick="n>5?a(\"OK\"):b('Not Ok');" value=test> not this <br> <input type=button onclick='n>5' value=test onmouseover="n<5&&n>8" onmouseout='if(n>5)alert(\'True\');else alert("False")'> not this <br> Any help would be greatly appreciate. Thanks a whole lot. Logan

This expression pulls the Culture name out of a .resx file name.

the regex's on this site for pulling links off a page always seemed to be faulty, or at least never worked with PHP, so i made this one. simple, as i'm an amateur with regex's, but stumbled thru it and this one actually works. tested with PHP function: preg_match_all("/href[ ]*=[ ]*('|\")([^\"'])*('|\")/",$string,$matches)

If you need to extract or remove any /* */ sytle comments from any Java, JavaScript, C, C++, CSS, etc code you have this regular expression can help.

Tests for valid HTML hexadecimal color codes. The # symbol is optional. And it will except either the 3 digit form for the 216 Web safe colors, or the full 6 digit form. I am use it on my site to allow users to customize the site's colors.

This expression will return the src (source) property of an image tag <IMG>. The source returned is limited to the file extensions supplied. It doesn't matter if the image is prefixed with '../' or 'http://..blah' or 'drive\path' or nothing. This expression could be modifed to return other sources or for the tags (ie <BGSOUND>, <SCRIPT>, etc.) depending on the file extensions given. I needed this to replace the source of images in a HTML page when I wanted to save the page to a local drive and keep the images intact. If anybody could modify this further to include only the <IMG> tag, I would appreciate the effort.

Removes pesky comments and commented javascript from HTML

Detects HTML tags open and/or closed with and without whitespace or characters in between. Good for stripping all tags from a string.

Matches HTML Color strings. Like #FFFFFF is white and #000000 is black and #FF0000 is red and so on...

This should be the pattern described in the documentation for the .NET TimeSpan.Parse method - generally parses time spans. From the .NET docs: public static TimeSpan Parse(string s); The s parameter contains a specification of the form: [ws][-][d.]hh:mm:ss[.ff][ws] Items in square brackets ([ and ]) are optional, colons and periods (: and .) are literal characters, and other items are as follows. Item Description ws optional white space "-" optional minus sign indicating a negative time "d" optional days "hh" hours, ranging from 0 to 23 "mm" minutes, ranging from 0 to 59 "ss" seconds, ranging from 0 to 59 "ff" optional fractional seconds, from 1 to 7 decimal digits
