I want to use url rewrite for linux lighttpd.conf but I can't get the right regular expression.
My web url is ip/cgi/aaa/bbb and I want to rewrite the url path. My target is /var/www/cgi/aaa.cgi?par=bbb
I write the rule as "^/cgi/([^/]+)\/(.*)?"=> "/var/www/cgi/$1.cgi?par=$2"
But somehow I can't get the parameter par value.
Your issue is because of your anchoring at the beginning of the input.
^/cgi
..will not match ip/cgi, because ip is at the start.. not /cgi. To fix it.. put ip in front of what you have:
^ip/cgi/([^/]+)\/(.*)?
# ^^ this part
Below is the output once that change is made:
"^" matches at beginning of string. As your ip is dynamic, try to match from "cgi" as it is absolute.
I tried below input at http://gskinner.com/RegExr/ and worked fine.
/cgi/([^/]+)\/(.*)?
/var/www/cgi/$1.cgi?par=$2
ip/cgi/aaa/bbb
result is ip/var/www/cgi/aaa.cgi?par=bbb
If you don't want "ip" in result string, use
(.*)/cgi/([^/]+)\/(.*)?
/var/www/cgi/$2.cgi?par=$3
ip/cgi/aaa/bbb
result is /var/www/cgi/aaa.cgi?par=bbb (without ip)

this is a regex of a proxy, if I add this to my proxy:
(.*\.|)(abc|google)\.(org|net)
my proxy will not transmit the abc.org, abc.net, google.org, google.net's traffic.
how can I write a regex opposite to this regex? I mean only transmit the abc.org, abc.net, google.org, google.net's traffic.
EDIT-01
My thought is just want to transmit abc.org or www.abc.org, how can I do with that?
Try this:
^(?!(www\.)?(?:abc|google)\.(?:net|org)).*
Demo: https://regex101.com/r/WOnFx8/3/
I used ?! to reverse the matching of your regex. This way, it will match any domain except these specific 4 domains.
Another way to do it is by using this code to include anything before the desired domains:
^(?!(.*\.|)(?:abc|google)\.(?:net|org)).*
demo: https://regex101.com/r/WOnFx8/4/
Your regex you write
(.*\.|)(abc|google)\.(org|net)
mean any string is one of abc.org, gooogle.org, abc.net, google.net, with optional prefix string ends with dot (.)
Like: test.google.org, sub.abc.net,...
I think you want to match string like test.yahoo.com, but not test.google.org. If you can use negative look ahead, this is the answer:
^(.*\.|)(?!(abc|google)\.(org|net))\w+\.\w+$
Explain:
^ and $ to be sure your match is entire url string
Negative look ahead is to check the url is not something like abc.org, abc.net, google.org, google.net
And \w+\.\w+ to check the remain string is kind of URL type (something likes yahoo.com, etc...)
Im going to assume you have lookaheads, if so then you can simply use -
(^.*?\.(?!(abc|google))\w+\.(?:org|net)$)
Demo - https://regex101.com/r/5eC41R/3
What this does is -
Looks for the start of the url (till the first .)
Checks that next part is not abc or google
looks for the next section (till the next .)
Looks for a closing org or net
Note that since it is a lookahead it will be slow compared to other regex matches
I need a regular expression for IIS URL Rewrite that will process the rule only when the expression matches any bit of the URL EXCEPT a specific sub-root directory.
Example:
www.mysite.com/wordpress - process rule on any URL that starts with /wordpress after the domain name
www.mysite.com/inventory - do not process rule on any URL that starts with /inventory after the domain name
Tried .*(?<!^\/inventory\/.*) but it still matches the entire string.
You need a lookahead rather than lookbehind. Something like this I think:
^([^/]*/){1}(?!inventory\b)
Where you change 1 to 2 when the exclusion is needed at the next lower sublevel, etc.
I'm struggling with forming a regex that would match:
Just domain in case of URL
Whole string in case of no URL
Acceptance test (regex should match bold text):
http://mozart.co.uk
https://avocado.si/hmm
http://www.qwe123qwe.com
Starbucks
Benchmark 123
So far I've come up with this:
([^\/\/]+)(?:,|$)
It works fine, but not for URLs with trailing slash on the end. How can I modify the expression to include full path (everything on the right side of http(s)://) as well? Thank you.
This regex will match them if it starts with http:// or https:// until the next slash. If it doesn't start with http:// nor https:// then it will match the whole string. Close enough?
(?:^https?:\/\/([^\/]+)(?:[\/,]|$)|^(.*)$)
I should note that most languages have functions built in to properly parse URLs and these are preferable.
You should note that I've got 2 sets of capturing parentheses, so depending on your language that may be significant.
Maybe that ^(http[s]?:\/\/)?(.*)$. Play here: https://regex101.com/r/iZ2vL4/1
This will have Matching groups, the domain you want will be in the 4th matching group.
/^((http[s]?|ftp):\/\/)?\/?([^\/\.]+\.)*?([^\/\.]+\.[^:\/\s\.]{1,3}(\.[^:\/\s\.]{1,2})?(:\d+)?)($|\/)([^#?\s]+)?(.*?)?(#[\w\-]+)?$/mg
Regex101.com workbench to check out your URLs just paste them in the "TEST STRING" Textbox to test it out.
Don't recall where I got this... so I don't know who to credit. But it's pretty slick!
I need to allow an IP/DNS name from a text box. I am looking for a IP regular expression which work for IP.
Now I am using one regular expression:
/\b(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)\.(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)\.(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)\.(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)\b/
which was working for 0-255 range. But allowing invalid IP such as : 121.21.05.234.01 which has 5 parts.
I need a regular expression which will work in all scenario's like below:
10.2.22.1 - true
123.123.123.123 - true
123.123.023.12 - true
12.23.12.0 - true
121.21.05.234.01 - false
Please provide me DNS expression also.
Try to anchor your regex with ^ and $, which will make it match the whole string.
Are you looking for a way to specify an occurrence count?
You may achieve this with curly brackets.
An exemple here.
In your case, it would lead to:
/\b(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)(\.(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)){3}\b/
(I added a \ to escape the dot, too)
I'm basically not in the clue about regex but I need a regex statement that will recognise anything after the / in a URL.
Basically, i'm developing a site for someone and a page's URL (Local URL of Course) is say (http://)localhost/sweettemptations/available-sweets. This page is filled with custom post types (It's a WordPress site) which have the URL of (http://)localhost/sweettemptations/sweets/sweet-name.
What I want to do is redirect the URL (http://)localhost/sweettemptations/sweets back to (http://)localhost/sweettemptations/available-sweets which is easy to do, but I also need to redirect any type of sweet back to (http://)localhost/sweettemptations/available-sweets. So say I need to redirect (http://)localhost/sweettemptations/sweets/* back to (http://)localhost/sweettemptations/available-sweets.
If anyone could help by telling me how to write a proper regex statement to match everything after sweets/ in the URL, it would be hugely appreciated.
To do what you ask you need to use groups. In regular expression groups allow you to isolate parts of the whole match.
for example:
input string of: aaaaaaaabbbbcccc
regex: a*(b*)
The parenthesis mark a group in this case it will be group 1 since it is the first in the pattern.
Note: group 0 is implicit and is the complete match.
So the matches in my above case will be:
group 0: aaaaaaaabbbb
group 1: bbbb
In order to achieve what you want with the sweets pattern above, you just need to put a group around the end.
possible solution: /sweets/(.*)
the more precise you are with the pattern before the group the less likely you will have a possible false positive.
If what you really want is to match anything after the last / you can take another approach:
possible other solution: /([^/]*)
The pattern above will find a / with a string of characters that are NOT another / and keep it in group 1. Issue here is that you could match things that do not have sweets in the URL.
Note if you do not mind the / at the beginning then just remove the ( and ) and you do not have to worry about groups.
I like to use http://regexpal.com/ to test my regex.. It will mark in different colors the different matches.
Hope this helps.
I may have misunderstood you requirement in my original post.
if you just want to change any string that matches
(http://)localhost/sweettemptations/sweets/*
into the other one you provided (without adding the part match by your * at the end) I would use a regular expression to match the pattern in the URL but them just blind replace the whole string with the desired one:
(http://)localhost/sweettemptations/available-sweets
So if you want the URL:
http://localhost/sweettemptations/sweets/somethingmore.html
to turn into:
http://localhost/sweettemptations/available-sweets
and not into:
localhost/sweettemptations/available-sweets/somethingmore.html
Then the solution is simpler, no groups required :).
when doing this I would make sure you do not match the "localhost" part. Also I am assuming the (http://) really means an optional http:// in front as (http://) is not a valid protocol prefix.
so if that is what you want then this should match the pattern:
(http://)?[^/]+/sweettemptations/sweets/.*
This regular expression will match the http:// part optionally with a host (be it localhost, an IP or the host name). You could omit the .* at the end if you want.
If that pattern matches just replace the whole URL with the one you want to redirect to.
use this regular expression (?<=://).+
