Regular expression test ; (\bSubject:\b)(?!=\bSubject:test.com\b) - regex

Ok I need this to be working.
As postfix bodycheck go through each line...I need some sort of if else.
If this is subject line and I want to check subject and NOT subject:test.com to be true
(\bSubject:\b)(?!=\bSubject:test.com\b)
This is not working.
Sample line:
Subject:test.com - testing email

If the lookahead is supported, you could write the pattern as:
\bSubject:(?!test\.com\b).*

Regular Expression: if, else if to use in Java

I am trying to write a regular expression in which I want to compare the URL's.
Any URL Matches
http://*.xyz.com
Except or Excluding
http://m.xyz.com and http://m.product.xyz.com
So far I was trying to do it by using if else in RegExp but I couldn't be able to do it right...
(^http:\/\/)(((1)<!(m|m\.product))\.xyz\.co\.jp)?
You can try that:
^http:\/\/(?!m\.xyz\.com|m\.product\.xyz\.com).*\.xyz\.com$
Regex101 Demo
https?:\/\/(?!m\.|m\.product\.).*\.xyz\..*
This regex accepts all *.xyz.* domains except m.xyz.* and m.product.xyz.*. Also takes care of http or https.

How to extract FirstName and LastName from html tags with regex?

I have response body which contains
"<h3 class="panel-title">Welcome
First Last </h3>"
I want to fetch 'First Last' as a output
The regular expression I have tried are
"Welcome(\s*([A-Za-z]+))(\s*([A-Za-z]+))"
"Welcome \s*([A-Za-z]+)\s*([A-Za-z]+)"
But not able to get the result. If I remove the newline and take it as
"<h3 class="panel-title">Welcome First Last </h3>" it is detecting in online regex maker.
I suspect your problem is the carriage return between "Welcome" and the user name. If you use the "single-line mode" flag (?s) in your regex, it will ignore newlines. Try these:
(?s)Welcome(\s*([A-Za-z]+))(\s*([A-Za-z]+))
(?s)Welcome \s*([A-Za-z]+)\s*([A-Za-z]+)
(this works in jMeter and any other java or php based regex, but not in javascript. In the comments on the question you say you're using javascript and also jMeter - if it is a jMeter question, then this will help. if javaScript, try one of the other answers)
Well, usually I don't recommend regex for this kind of work. DOM manipulation plays at its best.
but you can use following regex to yank text:
/(?:<h3.*?>)([^<]+)(?:<\/h3>)/i
See demo at https://regex101.com/r/wA2sZ9/1
This will extract First and Last names including extra spacing. I'm sure you can easily deal with spaces.
In jmeter reg exp extractor you can use:
<h3 class="panel-title">Welcome(.*?)</h3>
Then take value using $1$.
In the data you shown welcome is followed by enter.If actually its part of response then you have to use \n.
<h3 class="panel-title">Welcome\n(.*?)</h3>
Otherwise above one is enough.
First verify this in jmeter using regular expression tester of response body.
Welcome([\s\S]+?)<
Try this, it will definitely work.
Regular expressions are greedy by default, try this
Welcome\s*([A-Za-z]+)\s*([A-Za-z]+)
Groups 1 and 2 contain your data

Regex to match URL not followed by " or <

I'm trying to modify the url-matching regex at http://daringfireball.net/2010/07/improved_regex_for_matching_urls to not match anything that's already part of a valid URL tag or used as the link text.
For example, in the following string, I want to match http://www.foo.com, but NOT http://www.bar.com or http://www.baz.com
www.foo.com http://www.baz.com
I was trying to add a negative lookahead to exclude matches followed by " or <, but for some reason, it's only applying to the "m" in .com. So, this regex still returns http://www.bar.co and http://www.baz.co as matches.
I can't see what I'm doing wrong... any ideas?
\b((?:[a-z][\w-]+:(?:/{1,3}|[a-z0-9%])|www\d{0,3}[.]|[a-z0-9.\-]+[.][a-z]{2,4}/)(?:[^\s()<>]+|\(([^\s()<>]+|(\([^\s()<>]+\)))*\))+(?:\(([^\s()<>]+|(\([^\s()<>]+\)))*\)|[^\s`!()\[\]{};:'".,<>?«»“”‘’]))(?!["<])
Here is a simpler example too:
((((ht|f)tps?:\/\/)|(www.))[a-zA-Z0-9_\-.:#/~}?]+)(?!["<])
I looked into this issue last year and developed a solution that you may want to look at - See: URL Linkification (HTTP/FTP) This link is a test page for the Javascript solution with many examples of difficult-to-linkify URLs.
My regex solution, written for both PHP and Javascript - is not simple (but neither is the problem as it turns out.) For more information I would recommend also reading:
The Problem With URLs by Jeff Atwood, and
An Improved Liberal, Accurate Regex Pattern for Matching URLs by John Gruber
The comments following Jeff's blog post are a must read if you want to do this right...
Note also that John Gruber's regex has a component that can go into realm of catastrophic backtracking (the part which matches one level of matching parentheses).
Yeah, its actually trivial to make it work if you just want to exclude trailing characters, just make your expression 'independent', then no backtracking will occurr in that segment.
(?>\b ...)(?!["<])
A perl test:
use strict;
use warnings;
my $str = 'www.foo.com http://www.baz.comhttp://www.some.com';
while ($str =~ m~
(?>
\b((?:[a-z][\w-]+:(?:/{1,3}|[a-z0-9%])|www\d{0,3}[.]|[a-z0-9.\-]+[.][a-z]{2,4}/)(?:[^\s()<>]+|\(([^\s()<>]+|(\([^\s()<>]+\)))*\))+(?:\(([^\s()<>]+|(\([^\s()<>]+\)))*\)|[^\s`!()\[\]{};:'".,<>?«»“”‘’]))
)
(?!["<])
~xg)
{
print "$1\n";
}
Output:
www.foo.com
http://www.some.com

MFC: How do I construct a good regular expression that validates URLs?

Here's the regular expression I use, and I parse it using CAtlRegExp of MFC :
(((h|H?)(t|T?)(t|T?)(p|P?)(s|S?))://)?([a-zA-Z0-9]+[\.]+[a-zA-Z0-9]+[\.]+[a-zA-Z0-9])
It works fine except with one flaw. When URL is preceded by characters, it still accepts it as a URL.
ex inputs:
this is a link www.google.com (where I can just tokenize the spaces and validate each word)
is...www.google.com (this string still matches the RegEx above :( )
Please help...
Thanks...
Use the IgnoreCase flag instead of catering for each case.
Stick a ^ at the beginning if you want the start of the string to be the start of the URL
You're missing a lot of characters from possible, valid URLs.
You need to tell the regex to only match at the start and end of the string. I'm not sure how you do that in VC++ - in most regexs you enclose the pattern with ^ and $. The ^ says "the start of the string" and the $ says "the end of the string."
^(((h|H?)(t|T?)(t|T?)(p|P?)(s|S?))\://)?([a-zA-Z0-9]+[\\.]+[a-zA-Z0-9]+[\\.]+[a-zA-Z0-9])$
The second is matching because the string still contains a valid URL.
How about using CUrl (that is, 'C-Url', in ATL, not curl as in libcurl) which can 'parse' urls with CUrl::CrackUrl . If that function returns FALSE you assume it's not a valid URL.
That said, decomposing URL is sufficiently complex to warrant a proper parser, not a regex based decomposition. Cfr. rfc 2396 etc. for an overview on the complexities.
Start the regex with ^ to and end it with $ to have the regex match only if the entire sting matches (if that's what you want):
^(((h|H?)(t|T?)(t|T?)(p|P?)(s|S?))\://)?([a-zA-Z0-9]+[\.]+[a-zA-Z0-9]+[\.]+[a-zA-Z0-9])$
What about this one: (((f|ht)tp://)[-a-zA-Z0-9#:%_\+.~#?&//=]+) ?
This Regular Expression has been tested to work for the following
http|https://host[:port]/[?][parameter=value]*
public static final String URL_PATTERN = "(https?|ftp)://(www\\.)?(((([a-zA-Z0-9.-]+\\.){1,}[a-zA-Z]{2,4}|localhost))|((\\d{1,3}\\.){3}(\\d{1,3})))(:(\\d+))?(/([a-zA-Z0-9-._~!$&'()*+,;=:#/]|%[0-9A-F]{2})*)?(\\?([a-zA-Z0-9-._~!$&'()*+,;=:/?#]|%[0-9A-F]{2})*)?(#([a-zA-Z0-9._-]|%[0-9A-F]{2})*)?";
PS. It also validates on localhost link.
(Thoroughly written by me :-))

Regular Expression for some email rules

I was using a regular expression for email formats which I thought was ok but the customer is complaining that the expression is too strict. So they have come back with the following requirement:
The email must contain an "#" symbol and end with either .xx or .xxx ie.(.nl or .com). They are happy with this to pass validation. I have started the expression to see if the string contains an "#" symbol as below
^(?=.*[#])
this seems to work but how do I add the last requirement (must end with .xx or .xxx)?
A regex simply enforcing your two requirements is:
^.+#.+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,3}$
However, there are email validation libraries for most languages that will generally work better than a regex.
I always use this for emails
^([a-zA-Z0-9_\-\.]+)#((\[[0-9]{1,3}" +
#"\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.)|(([a-zA-Z0-9\-]+\" +
#".)+))([a-zA-Z]{2,4}|[0-9]{1,3})(\]?)$
Try http://www.ultrapico.com/Expresso.htm as well!
It is not possible to validate every E-Mail Adress with RegEx but for your requirements this simple regex works. It is neither complete nor does it in any way check for errors but it exactly meets the specs:
[^#]+#.+\.\w{2,3}$
Explanation:
[^#]+: Match one or more characters that are not #
#: Match the #
.+: Match one or more of any character
\.: Match a .
\w{2,3}: Match 2 or 3 word-characters (a-zA-Z)
$: End of string
Try this :
([\w-\.]+)#((?:[\w]+\.)+)([a-zA-Z]{2,4})\be(\w*)s\b
A good tool to test our regular expression :
http://gskinner.com/RegExr/
You could use
[#].+\.[a-z0-9]{2,3}$
This should work:
^[^#\r\n\s]+[^.#]#[^.#][^#\r\n\s]+\.(\w){2,}$
I tested it against these invalid emails:
#exampleexample#domaincom.com
example#domaincom
exampledomain.com
exampledomain#.com
exampledomain.#com
example.domain#.#com
e.x+a.1m.5e#em.a.i.l.c.o
some-user#internal-email.company.c
some-user#internal-ema#il.company.co
some-user##internal-email.company.co
#test.com
test#asdaf
test#.com
test.#com.co
And these valid emails:
example#domain.com
e.x+a.1m.5e#em.a.i.l.c.om
some-user#internal-email.company.co
edit
This one appears to validate all of the addresses from that wikipedia page, though it probably allows some invalid emails as well. The parenthesis will split it into everything before and after the #:
^([^\r\n]+)#([^\r\n]+\.?\w{2,})$
