Rhino, Regular Expression and Java \r\n

Hi guys,
I have an application that allow the user to create some regex to compare values by using scripting, basically I am using the test code
        ScriptEngineManager mgr = new ScriptEngineManager();
        ScriptEngine engine = mgr.getEngineByName("rhino");
        String[] scripts = {"/[abc]+/.test(\"giscaaard\")",
                                  "/[abc]+/.test(\"giscaaard\r\")"};
        for(String script : scripts){
            Object result = engine.eval(script);
            System.out.println(script + ":" + result);
        }//end forSo I run a simple test
The output is
/[abc]+/.test("giscaaard"):true

Any idea why rhino doesn't accept \r\n? If there is a standard for this where I can get how it handles other characters?
PS: In fact my first idea was to use only java classes for perform such things, however when I try to importClass(java.lang.String) I get an exception saying rhino already has one. Is there anyway on how I can give up rhino default classes and use the java one?
Thanks and Regards

Hi guys,
I just figure out something else
The code:
ScriptEngineManager mgr = new ScriptEngineManager();
        ScriptEngine engine = mgr.getEngineByName("rhino");
        String[] scripts = {/*"\"giscard\" == \"giscard\"",
                            "\"giscard\" == \"giscard\"",
                            "\"gff\" < \"giscard\"",
                            "\"gff\" > \"giscard\"",
                            "5 == 1",
                            "27 > 9",*/
                            "'Giscard'\n'SecondLine'",
                            "\"Giscard\tFaria\"",
                            "'Giscard\tFaria'",
                            "'Giscard\nFaria'"
        for(String script : scripts){
            Object result = engine.eval(script);
            System.out.println(script + ":" + result);
        }//end forGives the output
'Giscard'

So, the \r\n has nothing to do with regex, it seems that javascript doesn't support string variables that has the \r \n inside it, however other special characters like \t are supported. Any idea on how to handle that?

Regular Expressions and java

hi everybody i have a little question:
Does anybody have an idea how i can accomplish the following task:
I want to have a regex that excludes words that contain a ++, --, __ but any word contains single occurence of these characters (+,-,_) should be matched.
I tried anything that i could think of but i can't seem to be able to find a working regex. Anybody have an idea

It took me a while to get my head around possessive
quantifiers and atomic groups, and what they're good
for. They can be a little tricky--Friedl
himself got burned by them in the third edition of
MRE, as shown in the errata for pages 481-2:
http://regex.info/errata3.html
It's good to see that even those living on Mt. Olympus can get it wrong sometimes.
My version of Friedl is a correction on the first edition and is dated Nov 1997. In my version, 'possessive quantifiers' are proposed as a possible solution to a problem but Friedl does not mention any implementations. It may be time to fork out some cash and buy the latest version.

Juniper MX Regular expressions and user permissions ACS 5.4

Hi everyone!
Im having some trouble with regular expressions and permissions on our Juniper MX routers through ACS 5.4, and i would like some insight/help/poitners!!
We have a team of engineers that should only have read only permissions (important: show configuration) and also be able to just change the description on interfaces.
Thus far with the following regular expressions set for the shell profile they are going through i have managed the above, however the problem is when an engineer inputs "Show configuration", only the interfaces descriptions configuration is shown! The rest of the configuration will not be printed.
deny-commands1=.*.
allow-commands1=configure
deny-configuration1=.*.
allow-commands2=interfaces .*. description .*$
allow-configuration1=interfaces .*. description .*$
allow-commands2=show configuration.*
allow-commands3=show configuration
(some of these regex i know that are not needed, i was just playing around to check everything before posting)
Any pointers as to why or how to resolve this?
example output with the above:
show configuration

Spyros

You are absolutely right!! I was doing research online after posting the above. The correct RADIUS attribute to use is actually CVPN3000/ASA/PIX7.x-Group-Based-Address-Pools. Then create the pool in ASA, and call that pool's name in ACS under that RADIUS attribute. Someone explained this perfectly in this community before. Much appreciate your answer!
Here's from another post last year:
ACS 5 does not have the feature of IP pools. Logically its always good to setup pools locally on vpn server and if you want user to pick ip from specific local pool you can configure acs to push that attribute.
On ACS Go to > Policy Elements -> Network Access ->   Authorization Profiles -> Create ->
Name of the Policy ->Dictionary Type: Radius-Cisco VPN 3000/ASA/PIX7.x
Attribute Type : CVPN3000/ASA/PIX7.x-Group-Based-Address-Pools
Attribute Type: String
Attribute Value : Static MYPOOL (Name of the Pool which is defined on the ASA)
Access Policies ->Default Network Access -> Authorization -> Create -> Under result section call the Authorization p

Regular expression and line break problem

Hi friends,
I was trying out one regular expression in java but, for some reasons its not working. The test string looks something like this in the eclipse watch window:-
Test string:-*
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="name"\n\nOmkar\n|
In the above test string the last character is a pipe symbol.
And the java code i have written is: -
code:
    public static void getParameterValue(String paramName, String testParameter) {
              String parameterRegex = "name=\""+paramName+"\"(.*)|";
              Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(parameterRegex,Pattern.DOTALL);
              Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(testParameter);
              boolean isFound = matcher.find();
              if (isFound) {
                   System.out.println("The parameter value is : "+matcher.group(1));
         }After, the debug line moves over the first line in this method, the value contained in the "parameterRegex" string variable is:-
Regex:-*
name="name"(.*)|
However, my SOP statement, prints null....even though, "isFound" variable is true....can someone please explain me what could be the problem, where i am going wrong ?....
I have even, set the DOTALL option for the regex.
please some one help me!
Thanks and Regards

Java parser for regular expression to java program

Hi All,
I am very new to parser technologies .I am looking for a (java)parser which can read the "regular expression" and can convert it into "java program".Please let me know is there any thing related to this.
Thanks in advance.
Your will be appriciate.
Regards,
Sai.

Hi Jos,
Thank you for your quick response .You're welcome.
If you have any sample code or simple example for how to use those
classes (Pattern,Match) ,will you please send me .It will be helpful for me.Jverd gave you two nice links already in his reply #3
If there is any "open source" for parsering regular expressions.
Please send me I am very new to parser technologies.Note that that Pattern class take care of all the parsing of REs, i.e. there's
nothing 'interesting' left for you to do any parsing whatsoever. Can you
elaborate a bit on what you exactly want to do and learn?
kind regards,
Jos

Regular expressions and sql

I have working regular expressions and a working sql connection, but I don�t know how to stop the info from getting into the database when input doesent match the regular expression.
For instans, you put in an e-mail without an "@" and my program writes and error message. But the info still gets in to the database.
Any help would be much apreciated as I dont know where to start. If you have links or code examples that would be great to.
Thanx.

Well, the obvious answer is "only write the data to the database if the input doesn't match the regular expression."
Presumably you're really asking how to do that - but it depends upon how your application is structured in the first place, and you haven't told us anything at all about that.

Using regular expressions in java

Does anyone of you know a good source or a tutorial for using regular expressions in java.
I just want to look at some examples....
Thanks

thanks a lot... i have one more query
Boundary matchers
^      The beginning of a line
$      The end of a line
\b      A word boundary
\B      A non-word boundary
\A      The beginning of the input
\G      The end of the previous match
\Z      The end of the input but for the final terminator, if any
\z      The end of the input
if i want to use the $ for comparing with string(text) then how can i use it.
Eg if it is $120 i got a hit
but if its other than that if should not hit.

Regular expressions and backreference

Hello!
I am trying to use backreferences in REGEXP in the PERL-style, where I want to match my regular expression and later refer to the grouped values. I can read that those are referecenced with \1 .. \9, but I simply cant get it to work. Here is an example in PL/SQL:
SELECT REGEXP_SUBSTR(l_users.adresse,'([A-Z]+)\s+(\d+)')
INTO l_dummy_varchar2
FROM dual;
OR I could do things like:
l_dummy_varchar2 := REGEXP_SUBSTR(l_users.adresse,'([A-Z]+)\s+(\d+)');
It seems to work, but I cant figure out how to get the backreferenced value.
I would love to do things like:
dbms_output.put_line('my value ='||\1)
but this doesnt work.
Help is very much appreciated.
Best regards
Dannie

Likewise you can extract things using the
REGEXP_SUBSTR, but you don't need back
referencing...backreferencing is better than additional function (ltrim) use, and BTW be careful with this "ltrims":

Regular expression in java -- specifically email

Does anyone know how I can do a regular expression with java that is going to retrieve an email address pattern.
For example, let's say i have a huge string
this is a sample test. perhaps someoen can tell me how to retrieve my [email protected] from this string. sincerely yours [email protected]
could someone explain to me how to retrieve these emai addresses most efficiently using java's regular expressions
thanks
stev

A citing (http://jregex.sourceforge.net/examples-email.html):
String someValidChars="[\\w.\\-]+";
String someAlphaNums="\\w+";
String dot="\\.";
Pattern email=new Pattern(someValidChars + "@" + someValidChars + dot + someAlphaNums);

Regular Expressions with Java Regex

Hi,
I'm playing around with regex and there's something I can't get to work. What I need, is to capture words between 2 other words and the words captured has to be higher than 5 characters, so for example:
Pattern "Just testing on something with regular expressions" and suppose I'll try to match all the words between "testing" and "regular", then only the word "something" should come out because "on" and "with" are not larger than 5 chars.
Now I'm quite new to regexps and I know that ((?<=\btesting\b).*(?=\bregular\b)) will return " on something with "
But I can't seem to come up with an expression that would only output the word "something". I've tried a few expressions like ((?<=\btesting\b)((?:[\s\w{1,3}])*(\b\w{4,}\b)*(?:[\s\w{1,3}])*)*(?=\bregular\b)) which also returns " on something with " The others I tried would either return the whole " on something with " or return "Not Found!"
Does anyone have a tip for me? I'm well aware that it's not too hard to do something like this in Java, but I'm really looking to study regular expressions and would like to accomplish this using a regular expression.
The Java program I use is the following:
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_16\bin>java RegexTest "((?<=\btesting\b).*(?=\bregular\b))" "Just testing on something with regular expressions"
public class RegexTest {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          Pattern RegexCompile = Pattern.compile(args[0]);
          Matcher m = RegexCompile.matcher(args[1]);
          boolean found = m.find(); // Perhaps there's another function to find () that would do the job?
          if (found)
          System.out.println(m.group()); // Perhaps group() is not the right function for this case?
          else
          System.out.println("Not Found!");

You're talking about a two-stage operation: find everything between those two words, then filter out anything that's less than five letters long. There's no single regex that will accomplish all that in one step.
By the way, please use {code} tags when you post source code.

Regular expression and XML

Hello,
I have an XML file containing regular expressions and i parse the file, extract the pattern from it and search for it using java regex package. The problem is it works fine when patterns are words but when the pattern is something like
write \\d+ (write followed by a space followed by one or mre digits) it doesn't work.
I wrote the same code but with the pattern embedded in it,ie. without using XML and it worked. But when extracting with XML it fails.
Also if the pattern is write[0-9] it only extracts write[0-9 and gives an error of no closing bracket.
Could anyone please tell me what i am missing out
Thank you

Regular expression and output format

hi all,
i have following scenario-
regular expression: [0-9]{3}-[0-9]{3}-[0-9]{4}
generated value by the above regular expression: 123-234-6789
output format to display the generated above value: xxx-xxx-$1
now i need to display the generated value (123-234-6789) in the specified output format (xxx-xxx-$1) and the final output will be xxx-xxx-6789
how is it possible?
Note: here regular expression and output format can vary

bashar

Hi, Bashar
You can solve this problem by using the Data Masking Technique.
Masking data means replacing certain fields with a Mask character (such as an X). This effectively disguises the data content while preserving the same formatting on front end screens and reports. For example, a column of credit card numbers might look like:
4346 6454 0020 5379
4493 9238 7315 5787
4297 8296 7496 8724
and after the masking operation the information would appear as:
4346 XXXX XXXX 5379
4493 XXXX XXXX 5787
4297 XXXX XXXX 8724
The masking characters effectively remove much of the sensitive content from the record while still preserving the look and feel. Take care to ensure that enough of the data is masked to preserve security.
It would not be hard to regenerate the original credit card number from a masking operation such as: 4297 8296 7496 87XX since the numbers are generated with a specific and well known checksum algorithm.

Assistance with Regular Expression and Tcl

Assistance with Regular Expression and Tcl
Hello Everyone,
I recently began learning Tcl to develop scripts for automating network switch deployments.
In my script, I want to name the device with a location and the last three octets of the base mac address.
I can get the Base MAC address by :
show version | include Base
Base ethernet MAC Address       : 00:00:00:DB:CE:00
And I can get the last three octets of the MAC address using the following regular expression.
([0-9a-f]{2}[:-]){2}([0-9a-f]{2}$)
But I have not been able to figure out how to call the regular expression in the tcl script.
I have checked several resources but have not been able to figure it out. Suggestions?
Ultimately, I want to set the last three octets to a variable (something like below) and then call the variable when I name the switch.
set mac [exec "sh version | i Base"] (include the regular expression)
ios_config "hostname location$mac"
Thanks for any assistance in advance.
Chris

This worked for me.
Switch_1(tcl)#set result [exec show ver | inc Base]
Base ethernet MAC Address       : 00:1B:D4:F8:B1:80
Switch_1(tcl)#regexp {([0-9A-F:]{8}\r)} $result -> mac
1
Switch_1(tcl)#puts $mac
F8:B1:80
Switch_1(tcl)#ios_config "hostname location$mac"
%Warning! Hostname should contain at least one alphabet or '-' or '_' character
