Regex to match text between braces.

My String contains the following.
"{ String1:String2:String6(String5='String4'):String8(String3='String10').String9}"
Is it possible to get the entire String within { } i.e within curly braces. Any String which is present in between curly braces should be matched.
Thanks and regards
Pradnya

Thanks ejp. It worked.

Regex not matching an expression

Hello, I've just started using regular expressions and I have a question: I've wanted to create a regex which matches all strings starting with , with the exception that the string --> cannot appear in the middle of the matching text. To do this, I wrote the following pattern:
\Q\E)]*(\Q-->\E)?I'm quite aware that it's a bad idea not telling the regex what to match, but rather what not to match, as it is very vague and probably inefficient, however, I did expect this to work nonetheless, which it just doesn't. It does match the string "\\E)]*(?:(\\Q-->\\E)?+)"Which seemed to work well until I tried the last little sample in the below code:
package net.luke;
import java.util.regex.Matcher;
import java.util.regex.Pattern;
public class RegexEr {
      * @param args
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          //Starts with  0 or more times, and ends with --> 0 or 1 times.
          String pattern = "\\Q\\E)]*(?:(\\Q-->\\E)?+)";
          String[] searches = new String[] {
                    " you.", "Huh  you say -->?",
                    "I  to  some strings.",
                    "But "};
          Pattern p = Pattern.compile(pattern);
          Matcher m;
          for (int i = 0; i < searches.length; i++) {
               m = p.matcher(searches);
               while (m.find()) {
                    System.out.println(m.group());
Results:

Help with regex pattern matching.

Hi everyone
I am trying to write a regex that will extract each of the links from a piece of HTML code. The sample piece of HTML is as follows:
<td class="content" valign="top">
     
<script language="JavaScript"
src="http://chat.livechatinc.net/licence/1023687/script.cgi?lang=en&groups=0"></script>
<a href="makeReservation.html">Making a reservation</a><br/>
<a href="changeAccount.html">Changing my account</a><br/>
<a href="viewBooking.html">Viewing my bookings</a><br/>I am interested in extracting each link and the corrresponding text for that link into groups.
So far I have the following regex <td class="content" valign="top">.*?<a href="(.*?)">(.*?)</a><br>However this regex only matches the first line in the block of links, but I need to match each line in the block of links.
Any ideas? Any suggestions are appeciated as always.
Thanks.

Hi sabre,
thanks for the reply.
I am already using a while loop with matcher.find(), but it still only returns the first link based on my regex.
the code is as follows.
private static final Pattern MENU_ITEM_PATTERN = compilePattern("<td class=\"content\" valign=\"top\">.*?<a href=\"(.*?)\">(.*?)</a><br>");
private LinkedHashMap<String,String> findHelpLinks(String body) {
    LinkedHashMap<String, String> helpLinks = new LinkedHashMap<String,String>();
    String link;
    String linkText;
      Matcher matcher = MENU_ITEM_PATTERN.matcher(body);
      while(matcher.find()){
        link = matcher.group(1);
        linkText = matcher.group(2);
        if(link != null && linkText != null){
          helpLinks.put(link,linkText);
    return helpLinks;
private static Pattern compilePattern(String pattern) {
    return Pattern.compile(pattern, Pattern.DOTALL + Pattern.MULTILINE
        + Pattern.CASE_INSENSITIVE);
}Any ideas?

Regex Expression Matching:beginning character?

I'm trying to separate a mathematical string into subexpressions.
For example, "23432 + 2343 - (2343+343)" would be outputed as
"23432 + 2343" and "2343 - (2343+434)". This is the code I have so far
public static double evaluate(String s) {
          String termPattern = "([0-9]+\\.?[0-9]*|\$.+\$)";
          PriorityQueue<String> q = new PriorityQueue<String>();
          Pattern p = Pattern.compile(termPattern+
                                             "\\s*?([\\^*\\-\\+])\\s*?"+
                                                        termPattern);
          Matcher m = p.matcher(s);
          int start = 0;
          System.out.println("start");
          while(m.find(start)) {
               q.add(m.group(0));
               start = m.end(2); //group 2 is the operators */+-
          System.out.println(q);
          return 0;
     }The output is [2343 - (2343+343), 23432 + 2343, 2343+343].
Unfortunately, I don't know how to make the pattern not match the expression inside the parenthesis, 2343+434. Once the whole expression (2343+434) is processed, I don't want it searching inside of the parentheses.
How do I prevent this?
Thxs!

Thanks for the response! It's a step closer, but it doesn't seem to work in some cases...
Basically, I'm building a calculator that will take in a java string and will calculate the answer. So, if I input "3*(3+4)" into the program, it will return 21. This part of the code will divide the string into groups of 2 terms with one operator between. So, for the sample text below, the output should be
23432+2343.34
2343.34-(2343.567+343*3432.234)
(2343.567+343*3432.234)+(3-3*4)
however, it actually outputs...
23432+2343.34
2343.34-(2343.567+343*3432.234)+(3-3*4)
So now it's not separating properly around terms with parentheses.
This is the code I used, with some things changed around from the last post.
     String text = "23432 + 2343.34 - (2343.567+343*3432.234)+(3-3*4)";
    String termPattern
      = "\$.+\$|(?<![\\(\\d])[0-9]+(?:\\.[0-9]+)?";
    String opPattern = "\\s*[\\^\\*\\-\\+]\\s*";
    Pattern p = Pattern.compile
      ("(" + termPattern+")" + "("+opPattern + ")"+ "(?=(" + termPattern + "))");
    Matcher m = p.matcher(text);
    while (m.find()) {
      System.out.println(m.group(1) + m.group(2)+m.group(3));
      System.out.println("END IS "+m.end(3));
      if (m.end(3)==text.trim().length()) {
           break;
    }But doesn't work. I made 3 groups because later on I need access to the left side term, right side term, and the operator.
Thanks!

I have three iPhones on one iTunes account. Evere since upgrading to ios5 the text between them is screwed up. Anyone have this problem or know how to fix?

All of the text between them are screwed up. They cannot text just one. The text goes to and comes from each. Very annoying. Please help

Is it actually texting that is the issue or iMessage?
If it's iMessage... then you need a unique iCloud ID for each device otherwise it will do exactly what you are experiencing.

The linked text boxes are very important to my work flow. Not being able to flow text between pages has cost me a lot of valuable time in producing my newsletter. Any ideas?

In Pages 09 I was able to flow text between text boxes on the same page and to different pages but that seems to have gone away. This is one of the most useful items in Pages that I use. Now it seems to have gone away and I could find no replacement in doing my last newsletter, (which took at least 3 times as long to produce.) I am very disappointed in Pages 13 so far and look for some bright side to this software to change my opinion.

Apple has promised to bring back *some* features "within six montha." We're 4 months into the clock. They have brought back a couple of features (ability to cutomize the toolbar, for instance, and vertical ruler). But they still have a long way to go and there is no certainty that linked text boxes will be restroed. It wasn't cited in their original list of examples of what would be brought back. (Nor was mail merge, bookmarks, Applescript support, or many other items.)

Is there a way to delete text between two strings?

In Pages, is there a way to delete all text containted between two strings?
For example, if I have a text document that looks like this:
String 1
String 2
Unwanted text
Unwanted text
String 3
String 4
Is there was to delete the unwanted text between string 2 and 3 so it looks like this:
String 1
String 2
String 3
String 4
The unwanted text is differnet between documents but string 2 and 3 are constant. I want to do this via automator for the same strings on multiple documents.
Any help is appreciated!

Do you mean Pages '09 v4.3?

Safari 4 won't render all text between pre and /pre tags

I am unable to read text between <pre> and </pre> tags in Safari 4.0.3 for Snow Leopard. The problem started when I upgraded to Snow Leopard, but I'm afraid I might have corrupted something when I ran a piece of nastiness called Leopard Cache Cleaner that also corrupted some other preferences. I tried deleting .com.safari.plist to no avail. Anyone heard of this problem or have a solution?

I found the solution - it turns out that Safari's "fixed width" font was supposed to be Courier, but for some reason Courier wasn't loading properly. Setting another Fixed width font fixed the problem.

How can I get a match text effect in a Choice

How can I get a match text effect in a Choice; I mean, for instance, that if a type a "p" the first choice item that begins with a "p" should be automatically selected

Here is a pretty simple example. Keep in mind that I am coverting all comparison characters to UpperCase. If you allow LowerCase characters in you Choice items then remove the appropriate Character.toUpperCase() calls.
Hope this helps
Mike
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class TestApplet extends Applet implements KeyListener {
     private Choice choice;
     public void init()
          setLayout(new FlowLayout());
          choice = new Choice();
          choice.add("Aaron");
          choice.add("Adam");
          choice.add("David");
          choice.add("Mike");
          choice.addKeyListener(this);

          int current = choice.getSelectedIndex();
          int x = 0;
          char c = Character.toUpperCase(e.getKeyChar());
          while(x<choice.getItemCount()) {
               if(c == Character.toUpperCase(choice.getItem(x).charAt(0))) {
                    current = x;

Getting text between two special characters as a new line

Hi all ,
I hope some one can point me in the right direction or tell me if its possible or if there is a function that can do this in tsql. I have table with two fields in a table ORDERNUM,NARRATIVE. The values in the NARRATIVE field are some what like this (they
come from a flat while and are delimited by a "^"). The examples are like :
OREDERNUM NARRATIVE
1234 ^Parcel shipped^picked^entry passed then returned back^white ford truck number 78455333^freight charges entered^parcel weight entered^parcel supervised^ticketsscannned^broken glass on
floor^
what i want to is seperate the text between the "^" as new line like
1234 parcel shipped
1234 picked
1234 entry passed then returned back
1234 white ford truck number 78455333
Can anyone please help me, is there a way or can any one show me what function does this? SUBSTRING for sure is not an answer as there is no fixed length for this.
Thanks

Matching up between pdf and indesign

How can I match up a table chart in an indesin file with the one in the pdf to check if there's any error on the indesign one?
(which would be like proofreading done by a computer)
The design of each table chart is totally different from each other; the pdf file is actually extracted from a excel file.
I came across this problem while doing an artwork for a brochure.
I had a specificaton table chart for the product in an excel file and I made an indesign file based on it,
but because the proofreading was done by a 'human' not a computer, there were several errors unfound until printing thousands of it.
And I had to print the whole brochure again.
So I thought if there is a function that can match up between the two,
there won't be any problems or mistakes like this afterwards.
Does this kind of function exist? or would there be an alternative solution?

This script acts as an overlay proofing method that may help: http://kasyan.ho.com.ua/compare_two_documents.html

How to add some text between columns in dashboard prompt?

Hi,
OBIEE version:10.1.3.4.1
Can we add some words between columns in dashboard prompt?
like, I want to add OR, make sure user not to select different month, if selected the different months it will make the report no data.
Month OR Date Range(this is a calendar)
Does anyone have any idea about this?
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Anne

Hi,
If you are using the prompts with presentation variables or referring only the columns separately then you can create individual prompts and place static text between them.
But if you need to have both the prompt columns together then create the prompts and use 'space' as the label names for both.(ie prompts would appear but the name wont appear). And create a static text in the page or in a report and place in the page. Which appears as the name of the prompt with 'OR' between the prompt names.
This should solve your problem.

What I am attempting to do is match from the start of the file name to the underscore(not including the underscore). This part of the file name contains the server name.
$files = gci E:\CollectedPerfLogs\20140220 -file -name $pattern ='/[^_]*/' foreach ($file in $files){ $file -match $regex $servername = $Matches[0] Write-Host "The server name is $servername" }
The problem is the regexisn't matching even though
I verified it in an online regex tester. I would appreciate any assistance in figuring out why this isn't working.

What's in your $regex variable? That wasn't included in the code you posted. You've also mashed everything onto a single line, which makes it hard to read.
Anyhow, this value for $regex should work with the rest of your code intact:
$regex = '^[^_]+'
