Issues regular expression for "find all" feature

Hi,
I am currently working on a website in dreamweaver that
contains about 2000 pages. I know some of these pages are missing a
div called id="breadcrumb". I have tried to find a way to search in
the "entire current local website" for pages that do not contain
any div with the id="breadcrumb". However, it does not seem to
work, I tried using the {n} syntax as {0} but it doesn't return
anything I expect, which is pages that do not contain
id="breadcrumb".
Thanks for your help.

An option:
Is this div normally next to another unique HTML element on
the page that is
in all pages? Like this:
<div id="xyz">
<div id="breadcrumb">
If so, you could to a find for:
<div id="xyz">
and replace with:
<div id="xyz">
<div id="breadcrumb">
Then, since the pages that already had the breadcrumb div
would now have
both, you do a second search and replace to remove the
duplicates:
find:
<div id="breadcrumb">
<div id="breadcrumb">
replace:
<div id="breadcrumb">
Of course, you'd still have to worry about the closing
</div> tag and that
might get tricky.
Ultimately, though, a site with 2000 pages really is a likely
candidate for
a migration into a CMS instead of manually having to maintain
individual
HTML files like this.

  • Regular expression for recognizing all tables in a sql statement

    Hi all
    I need a regular expression for recognizing all the tables bane in a geberic statement.
    Unlikely i need a regular expression that manage also inner join .I 'm sorry but this matter is new for me and i cannot find any usefull help in the web.
    Regards

    If you insist it should be something like:
    "SELECT ([A-Z0-9_]+)[.][A-Z0-9_]+(,([A-Z0-9_]+)[.][A-Z0-9_]+)* FROM (([A-Z0-9_]+)[.][A-Z0-9_]+) INNER JOIN (([A-Z0-9_]+)[.][A-Z0-9_]+) ON .+" plus spaces etc... Yes it's for this kind of statements only.
    But SQL parser is better because anyway you'll need to at least remove duplicates from founded names...

  • Regular Expression for finding Latin characters

    i have a table "t" with values in column "text" like
    "Āniki"
    "Ąvatar"
    How can I find them using a regular expression?
    The real goal is to replace them with their ASCII equivalent.
    Ā = A
    Č = C
    Ĥ = H
    etc....

    You can set any range in the ascii table by using the expression 'X-Y' in the pattern. It works for symbols too, but you need to find out whether the desired characters you're interested actually form a contiguous range.
    You can run the below query to check the ascii table:
    SELECT LEVEL ascii_val, chr(LEVEL) chr_column FROM dual CONNECT BY LEVEL < 256;Then you can pick and choose your ranges and verify them as in the following query:
    WITH t AS
    (SELECT LEVEL ascii_val, chr(LEVEL) chr_column FROM dual CONNECT BY LEVEL < 256)
    SELECT ascii_val, chr_column FROM t WHERE regexp_like(chr_column, '[^A-Za-z0-9!-/]');In the example above I chose a range from the ascii 33 ('!') to 47 ('/'), described by the portion '!-/' in the pattern.
    To add another range just concatenate it after the slash symbol.
    Additionally, for example, if you want to add a range including the symbols:
    ASCII CHR
    58    :
    59    ;
    60    <
    61    =
    62    >
    63    ?You can set it up like this instead if you feel it's more easily readable:
    WITH t AS
    (SELECT LEVEL ascii_val, chr(LEVEL) chr_column FROM dual CONNECT BY LEVEL < 256)
    SELECT ascii_val, chr_column
      FROM t
    WHERE regexp_like(chr_column, '[^A-Za-z0-9' ||
                                   chr(33) || '-' || chr(47) ||
                                   chr(58) || '-' || chr(63) ||
                                   ']');You need to test this though, as the docs state the behaviour may vary depending on your NLS_SORT settings, by using linguistic ranges rather than byte values. For my settings it seems to work, not sure about everywhere else.
    Note: In the POSIX standard, a range includes all collation elements between the start and end of the range in the linguistic definition of the current locale. Thus, ranges are linguistic rather than byte values ranges; the semantics of the range expression are independent of character set. In Oracle Database, the linguistic range is determined by the NLS_SORT initialization parameter.http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e10471/adfns_regexp.htm
    and
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e10729/ch5lingsort.htm
    You can check your NLS_SORT by querying the userenv:
    SQL> select sys_context('USERENV', 'NLS_SORT') from dual;
    SYS_CONTEXT('USERENV','NLS_SOR
    WEST_EUROPEAN
    SQL> If it returns BINARY you need not worry about it.
    Otherwise you can check the particular sorting your NLS_SORT will use here:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e10729/applocaledata.htm#NLSPG593
    Usually symbols are not affected by it as you can see there (my case too for the "west_european" value), but other elements in a string can be affected.

  • How to write regular expression to find desired string piece *duplicate*

    Hi All,
    Suppose that i have following string piece:

    mehmetI use following statement
    SQL> select lst, regexp_replace(lst,'(name:)(.*)(lastname)(.*)','\2',1,1) nm from (

    name:ali#lastname:kemal#name:mehmet#lastname:cemal ali#lastname:kemal#name:mehmet#
    SQL> But it does not return names correctly. When i change 5th parameter(occurence) of regexp_replace built-in function(e.g. 1,2), i may get ali and mehmet respectiveley.
    Any ideas about regexp?
    Note : I can use PL/SQL instr/substr for this manner; but i do not want to use them. I need regexp.

    thread was posted twice due to chrome refresfment. Please ignore the thread and reply to How to write regular expression to find desired string piece

    The approach is to do cartesian join to a 'number' table returning number of records equal to number of names in the string.I have hardcoded 2 but you can use regexp_count to get the number of occurrences of the pattern in the string and then use level <=regexp_count(..... .
    See below for the approach
    with cte as(
    select
    'name:ali#lastname:kemal#name:mehmet#lastname:cemal' col ,level lev
    from dual connect by level <=2)
    select substr(regexp_substr('#'||col,'#name:\w+',1,lev),7)
    from cte

  • Regular Expression for multiple emails

    Hi! I have a jsp page that has an inputTextArea so the user can enter multiple email addresses. In the backing bean (after they submit) I tokenize thru it and add email addresses to an arraylist. I want to validate that they are correct format before adding to arraylist, but how do I do that in the backing bean? All regular expression examples I have seen are in jsp page and javascript. Any sample code / suggestions would be greatly appreciated - as I have not had much experience with regular expressions. Thanks!

    Hi,
    this could be a solution for your problem; I've created two regular expressions to find valid email- and http-addresses in fulltext or xml-text fields ;-)
    HTTP:
    (\\s|>|^)(?!(@|/|\\.))(http://|https://|ftp://|sftp://|www\\.)([A-Za-z0-9_-]{2,}\\.)+[A-Za-z]{2,4}[:]?(/|\\?|\\&|\\;|\\%|=|\\.|\\#|_|-|[A-Za-z0-9])*(?!(@))(?<=([A-Za-z0-9=]+))(\\s|\\W|_|<|$)
    eMail:
    (\\s|>|^)(?!(:|www\\.|\\.))[A-Za-z0-9_.-]+@([A-Za-z0-9_-]+\\.)+[A-Za-z]{2,4}(\\s|\\W|_|<|$)

  • Regular Expression For Dreamweaver

    I still haven't had the time to really become a professional when it comes to regular expressions, and sadly I am in need of one an finding it difficult to wrap my head around.
    In a text file I have hundreds of instances like the following:
    {Click here to visit my website}{http://www.adobe.com/}
    I need a regular expression for Dreamweaver that I can run within the "Find and Replace" window to switch the order of the above elements to:
    {http://www.adobe.com/}{Click here to visit my website}
    Can anyone provide some guidance? I'm coming up short due to my lack of experience with regular expressions.
    Thank you in advance!

    So you have a string that starts { and goes until the first }.  Then you have another string exactly the same.  And you want to swap them.  I'm not making any assumption that the second one has to look like a URL (that's a whole other minefield, but perhaps you could do something simple like it must start with http). 
    You don't specify how your text file is divided up, have you got this as a complete line to itself, or is it just  a huge block of text?  Preferably as individual lines.
    I don't have Dreamweaver, but this worked for me in Notepad++
    Find: ^{(.*?)}{(.*?)}$
    Replace with: {\2}{\1}
    My file looked like this:
    {Click here to visit my website}{http://www.adobe.com/}
    {some other site}{http://www.example.com/foo}
    And doing a Replace All ended up like this:
    {http://www.adobe.com/}{Click here to visit my website}
    {http://www.example.com/foo}{some other site}

  • Unable To Use Regular Expression To Find Function Names

    Hi,
    I am trying to create a regular expression to find function and procedure names without the static designation and the parameter list.  Sample source document:
    static function test
    static function test(i,j)
    function test
    function test(i,j)
    static procedure test
    static procedure test(i,j)
    procedure test
    procedure test(i,j)
    For each of the above samples, I would like only the word "test" to be found.
    Thanks

    I suggest starting with this expression:
    ^\s*(static\s+)?(function|procedure)\s+(?<NAME>\w+)
    Programmatically, the name can be extracted from the group called “NAME”.
    The expression can be improved.

  • String Regular Expression for uncommon characters

    Hi,
    I am trying to get text out of HTML file for which I am using EditorKit and Document classes. After I obtain the text, the text (String) contains some characters like �. This character looks like a with French style acute accent . My problem is how to use regular expression to find and replace (replaceAll method) these unwanted characters.
    Is there a regular expression pattern for such characters?
    Thanks!
    Rahul.

    hrm I would recommend looking at the specific patterns,
    a simplified site would be here http://www.p3m.org/wiki?regex
    as a refernce . If you dont know regular expression, use
    http://www.perl.com/doc/manual/html/pod/perlre.html
    The only way I could think of constructing the regex is to use the \s and add the characters you want in that regex :s you could look into regex look ahead and look behind methods...

  • What is the regular expression for the end of a story?

    Forgive me if this is wrong forum for asking this, but I'm trying to use the Find command using GREP and I need to know the regular expression for the end of a story. (Or, the last character of a story.) Thanks in advance.

    I'd try search for .\z (that's a dot in front) which ought to find the very last character in the story, and replace with $0 and your additional text.
    You know you can use a keyboard shortcut to move your cursor to the end of any story, right? Ctrl + End on Windows, Cmd + End, I think, on Mac. Unless you want to do this to every single story in the document, I would think you might be just as well off to put your text on the clipboard, put the cursor in the story and hit the key combo followed by Ctrl/Cmd + V to paste.

  • Request some help, over procedure's performance uses regular expressions for its functinality

    Hi All,
            Below is the procedure, having functionalities of populating two tables. For first table, its a simple insertion process but for second table, we need to break the soruce record as per business requirement and then insert into the table. [Have used regular expressions for that]
            Procedure works fine but it takes around 23 mins for processing 1mm of rows.
            Since this procedure would be used, parallely by different ETL processes, so append hint is not recommended.
            Is there any ways to improve its performance, or any suggestion if my approach is not optimized?  Thanks for all help in advance.

    Regex's are known to be CPU intensive specially when dealing with large number of rows.
    If you have to reduce the processing time, you need to tune the Select statements.
    One suggested change could be to change the following query
    SELECT
                 REGEXP_SUBSTR(P_EXCEPTION_RECORD, '([^^])+', 1,t2.COLUMN_VALUE) str
            FROM
                DUAL t1 CROSS JOIN
                        TABLE
                            CAST
                                MULTISET
                                    SELECT LEVEL
                                    FROM DUAL
                                    CONNECT BY LEVEL <= REGEXP_COUNT(P_EXCEPTION_RECORD, '([^^])+')
                                AS SYS.odciNumberList
                        ) t2
    to
    SELECT REGEXP_SUBSTR(P_EXCEPTION_RECORD, '([^^])+', 1,level) str
    FROM DUAL
    CONNECT BY LEVEL <= REGEXP_COUNT(P_EXCEPTION_RECORD, '([^^])+')
    Before looking for any performance benefit, you need to ensure that this does not change your output.
    How many substrings are you expecting in the P_EXCEPTION_RECORD? If less than 5, it will be better to opt for SUBSTR and INSTR combination as it might work well with the number of records you are working with. Only trouble is, you will have to write different SUBSTR and INSTR statements for each column to be fetched.
    How are you calling this procedure? Is it not possible to work with Collections? Delimited strings are not a very good option as it requires splitting of the data every time you need to refer to.

Maybe you are looking for
