Required regular expression code

HI All,
i have date like this
select 'A COM' TEST from dual
union all
select 'B LAP' from dual
union all
select 'A LAP COM' from dual
union all
select 'C COM' from dual
union all
select 'A MON-COM' from dual
union all
select 'A COM LAP MON' from dual;
Example 1)when i am filtering data like
select * from table where test like or regulare expression 'A COM LAP MON' ..
it should display above All contain COM LAP MON All datas.
2)select * from table where test like or regulare expression 'A LAP COM' ..

What astonishes me more is, 186 posts on this forum and you still are Ignorant of how you must ask a question. Moreover, you ask people what they did not understand?
Do you not think its time for you to Learn how to post a question from the link posted by Karthick_ARP????

Regular Expression - replaceAll() - how to replace words?

Hiya,
I have this regex to replace all instances of myWord:
String oldWord = "oldWord";
String newWord = "newWord";
String sentence = "some sentence that contains " + oldWord;
String newSentence = replaceWordsInSentence(sentence, oldWord, newWord);
private String replaceWordsInSentence(String sentence, String oldWord, String newWord) {
    return sentence.replaceAll("\b" + oldWord + "\b", newWord);
}...it works in most instances, but when oldWord is at the end of the sentence it is not replaced. Presumably the problem is that "/b" is not a sufficient word boundary. Can someone help me out with the correct regular expression code?
Thanks,
James

Mel, you did appear to misunderstand as you thought points 2 and 3 were alternatives, but you now recognise that they are additional "shoulds".
Of course, I applied the extra backslash as soon as Joachim advised. Maybe you don't agree with my rationale, but I prefer the complete solution that will work in all instances... so was simply waiting for him to post a code example that included the latter 2 points as (although I understood the point of them perfectly) I was not sure how to implement them.
Have come up with the following, expanded, method...
    private String replaceWordsInSentence(String sentence, String oldWord, String newWord) {
        return sentence.replaceAll("\\b" + Pattern.quote(oldWord) + "\\b", Matcher.quoteReplacement(newWord));
    }...works fine with the tests I have run. Joachim, can you confirm this is correct.

Requirement to update a column by using Regular Expression

Hi All,
    I have a requirement to update a column which is having values like below code.
based on the conditinos I need to update from ‘E’ to ‘Z’. Few positions I need to update and remaining positions I need leave as it is.
How I can achive this requirement by using regular expression regexp_replace.
Actual value --> 'AEAAAEAA    EE    AA    EE    AA    EE    EEEAA    AA    AA       '
After update --> 'AZAAAZAA    EE    AA    EE    AA    EE    EEEAA    AA    AA       '

below is my requirement. I am adding the conditions dynamically as per the conditions. I dont know the position of the E. If 'E' is in any position I need to update with 'Z' if that 'E' satisfy the condition.
I dont want to update all the E's to Z's.
I want to update specific E's which satisfy the condition.

MDS Business rule regular expression to validate code to be combination of two attributes

Hi
I need to have a business rule as below:
entity1 have code, Attr1 and Attr2
I have to ensure code is always combination of Attr1 and Attr2. If either of the Attr1 or Attr2 is blank, validation should fail.
I tried below possibilities:
1. Set Code to Auto generate
2. Change tracking enabled for Attr1 and Attr2
and below BRs:
1. Attr1 has changed in group 1 AND (Attr2 has changed in group 1) then action:     Code equals a concatenated value Attr1 + Attr2
2. Attr1 is equal to Blank OR Attr2 is equal to Blank then action:     Attr1 is required
    Attr2 is required
3. Code must be unique Attr1 ,Attr2
I see BRs 1 and 2 working. I have BR 3 to fail validation in case BR1 fails resulting code to remain auto generated value.
but i dont see BR-3 working. At the end teh result is code with auto generated value validation is success.
Is there a way i can overcome this issue?
Any idea of referring attrbitues in Regular expression of this sort... to set Code equals to [Attr1] + [Attr2]?

OK I bit the bullet and contacted support on this one.
There is a known issue with MDS 2012 and business rules with a combination of "must be unique" attributes. If you do not list the attributes in the same order that they were created you will get the generic error I cited. At first they told me it must be
in the same order the attributes are in and that worked on one entity but not the other. The difference was that in the second entity I previously rearranged the attributes in question. Once I changed the order in the business rule to reflect the *original*
order it worked like a champ.
Hopefully this helps save someone some time and money.

WebTest - VS2013 - Extract Regular Expression - Required=False

I have an "Extract Regular Expression" that may or may not be able to extract a value. I set the property value of Required to False. The next block checks for the existence of that Context Parameter. If the Context Parameter is there, it does
some work, if the Context Parameter is not there, it skips the condition.
When I run my WebTest, it tells me that it passes the extraction rule but it never created the Context Parameter so the condition is skipped.
If I set Required=True, everything works as expected.
I remembered that there was a defect in VS2010 with the Required=False, so I added this Extraction Plug-In
[DisplayName("Extract Regular Expression Not Required")]
[Description("Extract text matching a regex and add it to the test context. If no match is found, do not fail webtest. This gets around a VSTS bug where 'Required' property of the Extract Regular Expression rule is not honored.")]
public class ExtractRegularExpressionNotRequired : ExtractRegularExpression
public override void Extract(object sender, ExtractionEventArgs e)
base.Extract(sender, e);
e.Success = true;
That too passes the regular expression but fails to create the Context Parameter.

By setting the Required parameter to False, I am expecting that a Context Parameter does not get created if the regular expression is not found and that is does get created if the regular expression is found.
So when I run my test, it tells me that the regular expression was found but my Context Parameter was not created.
When I created this webtest in VS2010, I found that there was a bug with the Extract Regular Expression when the Required property was False. This
thread showed the code for a custom Extraction rule to fix the problem. When I run this webtest in VS2013, both the built-in Extract Regular Expression and the custom Extract Regular Expression Not Required are not creating the Context Parameter if the
regex is found.
Try this yourself:
Create a webtest
Add "Extract Regular Expression"
Set the Regular expression to . (this will match any one character)
Set the Requiredto False
Set the Context Parameter Name to TEST
Run the webtest
Although the result from the extraction rule will be Passed, there is no Context Parameter TEST created.
If you create the custom Extract Regular Expression Not Required plugin, the same problem occurs.

NIRG LabVIEW regular expression for covering multiple requirements

The Word document type in NI Requirements Gateway allows for comma separating the requirements in a Reference / coverage statement. I would like to do the same within my LabVIEW code, but the type does not have the same Sub regular expression field available. Is there any way to have a LabVIEW regular expression find coverage statements such as the following:
[Covers: REQ-5, REQ-9, REQ-15]
currently within LabVIEW comments I have to have 3 separate [Covers: REQ-5] type statements

cdweiss,
I'm very interested to know if you have any other feedback on NI Requirements Gateway. I'd also be curious to know what products are you're using with it and how extensive your requirements are.
Feel free to email me directly at [email protected]
Cheers,
Eli

Using regular expressions to find and replace code.

Hi! Semi-newbie coder here.
I'm trying to strip out code from multiple pages, I've tried regular expressions but I'm struggling to understand them. I also need to do it across a LOT of pages, so I need an automated way of doing it.
The best way I can explain is with an analogy:
I want to delete any string of characters that start with c, ends with t and includes anything inbetween, so it would pick up "cat, cut, chat, coconut, can do it" whatever appears in the middle of those.
Except, instead of c and t, I want it to find strings of code starting with <div class="advert" and ending with Vote<br> while picking up everything in between, (including spaces, code, comments, etc.). Then, deletes that whole string including the starting and ending.Is there a regular expression I could use in dreamweaver that could do this? Is there a way to do this at all?

Let me begin by saying I'm a complete idiot with DW's Reg Ex. I use Search Specific Tag whenever possible. See screenshot below.
Try this on your Current Document to see if it works. Then make a back-up copy of site before attempting it on Entire Local Site as you cannot "Undo" this process.
Good luck,

Requirements gateway & regular expressions

I'm trying to create a regular expression that will match a Requirement ID type in a MS Word document using Requirements Gateway.
Our syntax for a Requirement ID is as follows:
    '* shall [::requirement id] *'
An example would be
    'The system shall [::requirement1] self destruct after 1 minute of use.'
I'm using the following RE.
    shall[ \t]*\[[ \t]*(.*):.+)\]
I've been able to get it to match 'most' of Requirement ID's ,but a few aren't caught...most noteably those Requirement ID's that run past the end of the
line.
When 'shall' is on one line and '[::requirement1]' is on the next, the Requirement ID isn't matched.
Are there any limitations to the RE engine that Requirements Gateway uses?
If not, any help with the RE would be MUCH appreciated.
thanks
Pat

Allen,
Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately it didn't help
Again, our requirements are identified by a 'shall' followed by a tag in brackets.
Ie The unit shall [<optional source>::requirement id] be expensive.
The RE, "shall\[(.*):.+)\]" doesn't always work. (Sorry for the embedded emoticon)
Most of the time it identifies the tag but says
Requirement ' : XYZ' can't be covered.
Error: Requirement defined several times
Other times is combines two tags into one.
I'm attaching the modifed type and the doc thats causing the problems.
Thanks for your continued help,
Pat

Regular Expression Required for Checksum variable

I am wanting to create a regular expression that extracts a variable checksum value (cs=) which is unique to a given server response string.
The issue I am having is that a simple regex being name="cs" value="(.+?)" just does not work because there are 18 different checksum values being returned per session id/server response.
So a simple regex just picks up any "cs" value and I guess gets confused since there are 18 different ones contained within the server response (all user related)
What i need is a regex to use say this value from the server response (JONHONEYMAN%40YAHOO.COM) or any other unique value which is contained within the string response from the server then extract the cs (Checksum) value from that string and make it variable :)
Here is the server response string:-
"fp=220:1200:2977638312763704:: NO::P1200_EMAIL_ADDRESS,P1200_ORGANISATION_NAME,P1200_UCRN,P1200_ORG_ID,P1200_CALLING_PAGE:JONHONEYMAN%40YAHOO.COM%2C john%20Honeyman%2C260%2C220%2C1190&cs=336788D01EC6E80B1877B3EE982E8B2D8" >Select</td></tr
can anyone help?

Inline display of error message for a regular expression validation

Hi All,
I am using ApexLib in my application.
I am using regular expression validation for some of the items.
Those validation will happen when the button is pressed and the message will be displayed as per the error.
But, I want the errors to be displayed immediately when the focus is away from that item.
as we do for required items.
could anybody help me to achieve it?
Thanks in advance
bye
Srikavi

Hi Srikavi,
to achieve a Validation of an item when leaving the field you'll have to use some javascript code (as ApexLib does internally).
What do you need:
- onChange - Event on your Item
- some Javascript code which is called in the onChange Event (you can put this code either in your page html header or, if it is used more often in your application, in a seperate js File)
- call the ApexLib method apexlib.error.showError to display your error
I actually never tried it myself, but i'm pretty sure that this will work (according to what i've seen in the ApexLib code).
Have fun and tell us how it went,
Peter

Help!!!!! Regular Expressions!!

I am trying to use Regular Expressions, for parsing. For that the pakage required is
java.util.regex.*;
I am also using the import statement in a sample code. But compiling it, gives an error,
ERRORS:
Replacement.java:6: package java.util.regex does not exist
import java.util.regex.*;
^
I have also set the path to C:\jdk1.4\bin
I have also set the classpath to C:\jdk1.4\lib
I don't know, Why it doesn't recognise the java.util.regex package
please help!!
gaurav_k1

Have you checked if the regex package is part of the
JDK1.4? I can't find it. What classes does it
implement?Yeah, since 1.4
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/api/java/util/regex/package-summary.html
I'm not sure what the original problem could be, possibly using a previously installed jre? If you had one previously installed, check the classpaths and uninstall any old jre (some forget that thinking they only need to remove the jdk). Could you give us anymore hints?

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 expressions in Workshop 8.1

Hello,
I'm posting this question here because I don't see a "jdk" subcategory in this
newsgroup and it might be problem peculiar to Workshop.
I'm trying to use the Pattern and Matcher classes in java.util.regex (JDK 1.4.2)
in BEA Workshop 8.1, but I'm getting "ERROR: Unknown escape code" (red squiggly
line appears under the regex and this message is the screen tip) whenever I try
to use the backslash to escape a special character in the Pattern.compile() and
the Pattern.matches() methods.
For example, it doesn't allow "\d" to mean "any digit". For this particular one,
I can get around the problem by specifying "[0-9]", but in the case of the period
character, I'm stuck. I cannot use "\." However, the JDK API doc (http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/util/regex/Pattern.html)
says the backslash is to be used for this purpose, if I'm reading it correctly.
Is this a problem with Workshop, and is there a workaround? I need to specify
that I require one and exactly one period.
Any help would be most appreciated!
Thanks.

Yes, I had read the Java doc, but I guess I hadn't fully understood it. Now I
do! Thanks!!

Josh Eckels <[email protected]> wrote:
This isn't particular to Workshop, but you'll need to use two
backslashes in your source code. Inside a string, backslash is used to
escape the next character so that you can enter special characters like
newlines ('\n'), tabs ('\t'), etc.
So, in order to enter a backslash character into your string, you need
to escape it, like '\\'.
There's a small section on this in the java.util.regex.Pattern JavaDoc,
under the "Backslashes, escapes, and quoting" header:
Backslashes within string literals in Java source code are interpreted
as required by the Java Language Specification as either Unicode escapes
or other character escapes. It is therefore necessary to double
backslashes in string literals that represent regular expressions to
protect them from interpretation by the Java bytecode compiler. The
string literal "\b", for example, matches a single backspace character
when interpreted as a regular expression, while "\\b" matches a word
boundary. The string literal "\(hello\)" is illegal and leads to a
compile-time error; in order to match the string (hello) the string
literal "\\(hello\\)" must be used.
