Regular Expression Assistance

Using a C350 for Email Encryption Only
I have a regular expression that searches for a number format that could match a medical record number, among other numbers. Getting many false positives due to a matching number being found in many places in the html tags of the email.
Anyone have any good ideas on how to eliminate this? I have quite a few negative lookbehind and negative lookaheads in there already to look for dashes, backslashes, slashes, etc., but still can't weed them all out.
Thanks!

Can you paste in some examples of what you're trying to match against?

BGP AS-PATH REGULAR EXPRESSION ASSISTANCE

Hi all,
I'm trying to create an IOS as-path filter that is asdot+ compatible and that only allows a maximum of 3 as-paths, without taking into considerations any prepends that may appear in the as-path.
The following example illustrates what I'm after (3 x AS-PATH: AS777, AS3.157 and AS75):
777 3.157 3.157 3.157 3.157 3.157 3.157 3.157 3.157 3.157 75
The following as-path filter will work --
ip as-path access-list 200 permit ^(777_)+([0-9]+)|([0-9]+\.[0-9]+)*$
however it will also accept any ASes that are possibly behind AS75, AS76 for example:
777 3.157 3.157 3.157 3.157 3.157 3.157 3.157 3.157 3.157 75 76
What I'm looking for is therefore a way of
1. providing support for asdot+ in an IOS as-path filter
2. allowing a maximum of 3 AS-PATHS into my AS from a NAP
3. Ignore prepends and only count them as a single AS.
In IOS-XR/Juniper terms, I'm trying to replicate the as-path unique-length ge 3 in an IOS as-path.
Doing this in an peer specific inbound route-map is probably easier if your IOS version supports the unique-length option, however this is a valid solution only when you have a few, but not when you have several hundred.
Can anyone think of a way of doing this?
Kind regards,
Andrew

I haven't tested this, but have you tried removing the * at the end an specify 75 instead?
From:
ip as-path access-list 200 permit ^(777_)+([0-9]+)|([0-9]+\.[0-9]+)*$
To:
ip as-path access-list 200 permit ^(777_)+([0-9]+)|([0-9]+\.[0-9]+)_75$

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
locationF8:B1:80(tcl)#

Help with Regular Expression for field validation

I'm fairly new to using regular expressions and using Acrobat. This is probably a simple question, but I've been unable to figure it out.
I have a text field on a PDF that I would like to be 9 characters in length. The first 2 characters can only be alphanumeric, the last 7 characters can only be numeric.
At first I was using the following, which allows all the characters to be alphanumeric:
var re = /^[A-Za-z0-9 :\\_]$/;
if (event.change.length >0) {
if (event.willCommit == false) {
    if (!re.test(event.change)) {
        event.rc = false
That works fine, but it's not quite what I needed. With some assistance I changed it (see below) to fit what I was looking for. However, this didn't work; it prevents anything from being entered in the field:
var re = /^[A-Za-z0-9]{2}\d{7}$/;
if (event.change.length >0) {
if (event.willCommit == false) {
    if (!re.test(event.change)) {
        event.rc = false
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks...

Here's a function you can call form the field's custom Format script. It should be placed in a document-level JavaScript:
function custom_ks1() {
    // Define non-commited regular expression
    var re = /^[A-Za-z0-9]{0,2}([0-9]{0,7})?$/;
    // Get all of the characters the user has entered
    var value = AFMergeChange(event);
    // Allow field to be cleared
    if(!value) return;
    if (event.willCommit) {
        // Define commited regular expression
        var re = /^[A-Za-z0-9]{2}[0-9]{7}$/;
        if (!re.test(value)) { // If final value doesn't match, alert user
            app.alert("Your error message goes here.");
            // event.rc = false
    } else { // not commited
        // Only allow characters that match the regular expression
        event.rc = re.test(value);
Call it like this:
// Custom Keystroke script
custom1_ks();

Java – Regular Expressions – Finding any non digit byte in a multiple byte

Hello,
I’m new to JAVA and Regular Expressions; I’m trying to write a regular expression that will find any records that contain a non digit byte in a multiple byte field.
I thought the following was the correct expression but it is only finding records that contain “all” non digit bytes.
\D{1,}
\D = Non Digit
{1,} = at least 1 or more
Below is my sample data. I would like the regular expression to find all of the records that are not all numeric. However when I use the regular expression \D{1,} it is only finding the 2 records that all bytes are non digits. (i.e. “ “ and “A “)
“ 111229”
“2 111229”
“20091229”
“200912c9”
“201#1229”
“20101229”
“20110229”
“20111*29”
“20111029”
“20111229”
“20B11229”
“A “
“A0111229”
Please note I have also tried \D{1,}+ and \D{1,}? And they also do not return my desired results
Any assistance someone can provide would be greatly appreciated.

You don't show the code you are using but I surmise you are using String.matches() which requires that the whole target must match the regular expression not just part of it. Instead you should create a Pattern and then a Matcher and use the Matcher.find() method. Check the Javadoc for Pattern and Matcher and look at the Java regex tutorial - http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/essential/regex/ .
P.S. You can re-use the Pattern object - you don't have to create it every time you need one.
P.P.S. Java regular expressions work with characters not bytes and characters are not not not bytes.

Regular expression in B2B Document editor

Hi All,
i intent to parse a file coming into B2B with record entry starting as ' 88'. And i want to use this value 88 to differentiate it from other records. I have set a rule (^[ \t]+88) on the field to pick this entry and set the value of the tag field as 88.
but it is not getting picked up properly and is jumping over this record itself completely. could you please suggest how this regular expression rules work when used with tag.. i have to use only the rule but still the record is not getting properly picked up...
kindly share any assistance in this regards
thanks
Rakesh

Hi Datla,
Yes, there is a de-identification support in Data Editor of B2B Document Editor. Once you open a EDI or HL7 doc with data editor, it will ask you to "Choose De-Identification and specify rule file". You may create a separate file for your use. Data Replacement Rule file is actually a XML which holds the separator information along with the data to be replaced. You may define your own DRR file.
To know more, just open the Data Editor from Document Editor, go to Help --> Content -->Data Replace and De-Identify section.

Anuj

Need advice on negating a whole string line with regular expression

Hi All,
I am not able to ignore / get rid of the following line even though my Java 6 (Windows XP) String Pattern matching has not taken cater for it:
*% Cleared: 61%*
Below is the existing Java String Pattern matching in the simple program:
Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("(^.*[A-Z][a-z]*){1,2} \\d{0,4}/?\\d{0,4} ([A-Z][a-z]*){1,2} St|Rd|Av|Sq|Cl|Pl|Cr|Gr|Dr|Hwy|Pde|Wy|La \\d br [h|u|t] \\$\\d+,\\d+|\\$\\d*\\,\\d+,\\d+ ([A-Z][a-z]*){1,}.*$");This pattern is working for valid strings.
The following pattern has included "^(?!.*\.\.).*$" into the existing one but had no luck still:
Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("^(?!.*\.\.).*$|((^.*[A-Z][a-z]*){1,2} \\d{0,4}/?\\d{0,4} ([A-Z][a-z]*){1,2} St|Rd|Av|Sq|Cl|Pl|Cr|Gr|Dr|Hwy|Pde|Wy|La \\d br [h|u|t] \\$\\d+,\\d+|\\$\\d*\\,\\d+,\\d+ ([A-Z][a-z]*){1,}.*$)");This picked up other rubbish including "*% Cleared: 61%*".
I am looking for a single regular expression that applies to the whole line.
I am quite new to regular expression but has read through Regular Expressions Cookbook (Oreilly - 2009) and is still not familiar with advance functions such as lookahead / lookbehind...
Your assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jack

Hi Winston,
I am still digesting the material from the regular expression book and will take sometime to become proficient with it.
It seems that using groupCount() to eliminate the unwanted text does not work in this case, since all the lines returned the same value. Ie 3 posted earlier. This may be because the patterns are complex and only a few were grouped together. Otherwise, could you provide an example using the string posted as opposed to a hyperthetic one. In the meantime, at least one solution have been found by defining an additional special pattern “\\A[^%].*\\Z”, before combining / intersecting both existing and the new special pattern to get the best of both world. Another approach that should also work is to evaluate the size of String.split() and only accept those lines with a minimum number of tokens.
Anyhow, I have come a crossed another minor stumbling block in the mean time with the following line, where some hidden characters is preventing the existing pattern from reading it:
o;?Mervan Bay 40 Boyde St 7 br t $250,000 X West Park AE
Below is the existing regular expression that works for other lines with the same pattern but not for special hidden characters such as “o;?”:
\\A([A-Z][a-z]*){1,2} [0-9]{0,4}/?[0-9]{0,4}-?[0-9]{0,4} ([A-Z][a-z]*){1,2} St|Rd|Av|Sq|Cl|Pl|Cr|Gr|Dr|Hwy|Pde|Wy|La [0-9] br [h|u|t] \\$\\d+,\\d+|\\$\\d*\\,\\d+,\\d+ ([A-Z][a-z]*){1,}\\ZIs it possible to come up with a regular expression to ignore them so that this line could be picked up? Would also like to know whether I could combine both the special pattern “\\A[^%].*\\Z” with existing one as opposed to using 2 separate patterns altogether?
Many thanks,
Jack

PHP regular expression to JSP?

Hi there,
I have the following PHP regular expression, and was looking for tips on how to create an equivalent in JSP using the 1.3.1 API. This has been causing me problems since the regex package didn't arrive until 1.4.
preg_match("/^(([\w\-\_])+(\.)*)+\@([\w\-\_]+\.)+[A-Za-z]{2,}$/i", $theAddress)Basically, it checks to make sure a valid email address pattern has been input.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

Though I donno about PHP and the related stuff that you've posted, I can help you by providing a JS function that you can invoke to check for the valid format of an e-mail ID, I guess if this is what you want.
function isEmail (s)
 // there must be >= 1 character before @, so we
 // start looking at character position 1
 // (i.e. second character)
 var i = 1;
 var sLength = s.length;
 // look for @
 while ((i < sLength) && (s.charAt(i) != "@"))
 { i++
 if ((i >= sLength) || (s.charAt(i) != "@")) return false;
 else i += 2;
 // look for .
 while ((i < sLength) && (s.charAt(i) != "."))
 { i++
 // there must be at least one character after the .
 if ((i >= sLength - 1) || (s.charAt(i) != ".")) return false;
 else return true;
}'s' is the e-mail ID string that you want to check.
Hope you're assisted.

Regular Expression. Select Statement. Carriage Return

Oracle 9i
Using SQLPLUS
I've read about regular expression and need some translation/explanation.
I have a large table containing a varchar2 (free text) column. Users may have inserted carriage returns when they entered the data. I need to locate rows that contain carriage returns, select and display them. Later I'll need to update those rows to replace the carriage returns with a space.
Can you assist with syntax. I believe use of a regular expression is required.
Thanks

for single characters like <CR> TRANSLATE() Doh. Never post at the end of a long day.
As the other posters have pointed out, one-for-one single character substitution is normally done with REPLACE(), although TRANSLATE() also works. The more normal role for TRANSLATE() is situations where you want to substitute multiple characters, e.g.
SQL> update <your table> set <your column> = replace (<your column> , chr(13)||chr(10), ' ');This substitutes a space for a carriage return and line feed combination.
Cheers, APC

Logical AND in Java Regular Expressions

I'm trying to implement logical AND using Java Regular Expressions.
I couldn't figure out how to do it after reading Java docs and textbooks. I can do something like "abc.*def", which means that I'm looking for strings which have "abc", then anything, then "def", but it is not "pure" logical AND - I will not find "def.*abc" this way.
Any ideas, how to do it ?
Baken

First off, looks like you're really talking about an "OR", not an "AND" - you want it to match abc.*def OR def.*abc right? If you tried to match abc.*def AND def.*abc nothing would ever match that, as no string can begin with both "abc" and "def", just like no numeric value can be both 2 and 5.
Anyway, maybe regex isn't the right tool for this job. Can you not simply programmatically match it yourself using String methods? You want it to match if the string "starts with" abc and "ends with" def, or vice-versa. Just write some simple code.

Help in Regular expression

Hello..
I wanted to write a regular expression to match the foll string..
 
 NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana (CNN) 
-- Two years after Hurricane Katrina devastated coastal areas of Louisiana and Mississippi, residents say much of America has forgotten their plight.
 
I tried doing..
Matcher matcher= Pattern.compile(" ([^<^>]+?)", Pattern.CASE_INSENSITIVE).matcher(story);
Its not working...
is there any other soln?

Theres probably a better way to do this but here's a way that works.
import java.util.regex.*;
public class RegexTester{
public static void main(String[] args){
 String text =
 " " +
 " NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana (CNN) " +
 "-- Two years after Hurricane Katrina devastated coastal areas of Louisiana and Mississippi," +
 "residents say much of America has forgotten their plight." +
 " ";
 String regex = ">((?:\\s*[\\S&&[^<>]]+\\s*)*?)<";
 Pattern p = Pattern.compile(regex);
 Matcher m = p.matcher(text);
 while(m.find()){
 System.out.println("Match: '" + m.group(1) + "'");
}

Help in regular expression matching

I have three expressions like

2) [(y2008M5)(y2011M3)] or [(y2009M5)(y2010M12)]
3) [(y2009M1d20)(y2011M12d31)]
i want regular expression pattern for the above three expressions
I am using :
REGEXP_LIKE(timedomainexpression, '???[:digit:]{4}*[:digit:]{1,2}???[:digit:]{4}*[:digit:]{1,2}??', 'i');
but its giving results for all above expressions while i want different expression for each.
i hav used * after [:digit:]{4}, when i am using ? or . then its giving no results. Please help in this situation ASAP.
Thanks

I dont get your question Can you post your desired output? and also give some sample data.
Please consider the following when you post a question.
1. New features keep coming in every oracle version so please provide Your Oracle DB Version to get the best possible answer.
You can use the following query and do a copy past of the output.
select * from v$version 2. This forum has a very good Search Feature. Please use that before posting your question. Because for most of the questions
that are asked the answer is already there.
3. We dont know your DB structure or How your Data is. So you need to let us know. The best way would be to give some sample data like this.
I have the following table called sales
with sales
as
 select 1 sales_id, 1 prod_id, 1001 inv_num, 120 qty from dual
 union all
 select 2 sales_id, 1 prod_id, 1002 inv_num, 25 qty from dual
select *
from sales 4. Rather than telling what you want in words its more easier when you give your expected output.
For example in the above sales table, I want to know the total quantity and number of invoice for each product.
The output should look like this
Prod_id sum_qty count_inv
1 145 2 5. When ever you get an error message post the entire error message. With the Error Number, The message and the Line number.
6. Next thing is a very important thing to remember. Please post only well formatted code. Unformatted code is very hard to read.
Your code format gets lost when you post it in the Oracle Forum. So in order to preserve it you need to
use the {noformat}{noformat} tags.
The usage of the tag is like this.
<place your code here>\
7. If you are posting a *Performance Related Question*. Please read
 {thread:id=501834} and {thread:id=863295}.
 Following those guide will be very helpful.
8. Please keep in mind that this is a public forum. Here No question is URGENT.
 So use of words like *URGENT* or *ASAP* (As Soon As Possible) are considered to be rude.

Hi,

VTThat won't work as it's expecting at least two characters with the first having to be a-z (lower case) or space or "-" followed by A-Z (upper case) or space or "-".
The correct way is either:
[a-zA-Z -]or
[[:alpha:] -]using the alpha set is often preferable as it can work differently with different character sets/languages rather than restricting to just the a-zA-Z ranges.

Help in query using regular expression

HI,
I need a help to get the below output using regular expression query. Please help me.
SELECT REGEXP_SUBSTR ('PWRPKG(P/W+P/L+CC)', '[^+]+', 1, lvl) val, lvl
FROM DUAL,(SELECT LEVEL lvl FROM DUAL
CONNECT BY LEVEL <=(SELECT MAX ( LENGTH ('PWRPKG(P/W+P/L+CC)') - LENGTH (REPLACE ('PWRPKG(P/W+P/L+CC)','+',NULL))+ 1) FROM DUAL));
I need the output as
correct result:
==============
val lvl
P/W 1
P/L 2
CC 3
But i tried the above it is not coming the above result. Please help me where i did a mistake.
Thanks in advance

Frank gave you a solution in your other thread. You could simplify it if you are on 11g:
SQL> select * from table_x
2 /
TXT
TECHPKG(INTELLI CC+FRT SONAR)
PWRPKG(P/W+P/L+CC)
select txt,
 regexp_substr(
 txt,
 '(.*\()*([^+)]+)',
 1,
 column_value,
 null,
 2
 ) element,
 column_value element_number
from table_x,
 table(
 cast(
 multiset(
 select level
 from dual
 connect by level <= regexp_count(txt,'\+') + 1
 as sys.OdciNumberList
order by rowid,
 column_value
TXT ELEMENT ELEMENT_NUMBER
TECHPKG(INTELLI CC+FRT SONAR) INTELLI CC 1
TECHPKG(INTELLI CC+FRT SONAR) FRT SONAR 2
PWRPKG(P/W+P/L+CC) P/W 1
PWRPKG(P/W+P/L+CC) P/L 2
PWRPKG(P/W+P/L+CC) CC 3
SQL> SY.

Query help in regular expression

Hi all,
SELECT * FROM emp11
WHERE INSTR(ENAME,'A',1,2) >0;
Please let me know the equivalent query using regular expressions.
i have tried this after going through oracle regular expressions documentation.
SELECT * FROM emp11
WHERE regexp_LIKE(ename,'A{2}')
Any help in this regard would be highly appreciated .
