RegExp to get any number + `;#`? - regex

I have several numbers in a string, such as:
8;#
10;#
34;#
etc...
I wanted to erase all of these from the string, so was thinking RegExp would be my best option.
What regexp expression do I use that will identify any series of numbers followed by ;# ?

Try something like this this:
\d+;#
I don't know AS3 but I think your code should look something like this:
var r:RegExp = /\d+;#/;
var s:String = "foo 8;# bar 10;#baz 34;# bah";
var x:String = s.replace(r, "")

Parsing a string by using regex

I need to parse an input string that has the format of
AB~11111, AB~22222, AB~33333, AB~44444
into separate strings:
AB~11111, AB~22222, AB~33333, and AB~44444
Here is my attempted Regex:
range = "([^~,\n]+~[^,]+,)?";
non_delimiter = "[^,\n;]+";
range_regex = new RegExp(this.range + this.non_delimiter, 'g');
But somehow this regex would only parse the input string into
AB~11111, AB~22222 and AB~33333, AB~44444
instead of parsing the input string into individual strings.
Maybe this is missing the boat, but from your input what about something like:
AB~\d+
This should match each of the strings from the above: https://regex101.com/r/vVFDIG/1. And if there's variation (i.e., it can be other letters) then maybe something like:
[A-Z]{2}~\d+
Or whatever it would need to be but using the negative character class seems like quite a roundabout way of doing it. If that's the case, you could just do:
[^ ,]+
You should use a regex split here on ,\s*:
var input = "AB~11111, AB~22222, AB~33333, AB~44444";
var parts = input.split(/,\s*/);
console.log(parts);
If you need to check that the input also consists of CSV list of AB~11111 terms, then you may use test to assert that:
var input = "AB~11111, AB~22222, AB~33333, AB~44444";
console.log(/^[A-Z]{2}~\d{5}(?:,\s*[A-Z]{2}~\d{5})*$/.test(input));

Find and replace between second and third slash

I have urls with following formats ...
/category1/1rwr23/item
/category2/3werwe4/item
/category3/123wewe23/item
/category4/132werw3/item
/category5/12werw33/item
I would replace the category numbers with {id} for further processing.
/category1/{id}/item
How do i replace category numbers with {id}. I have spend last 4 hours with out proper conclusion.
Assuming you'll be running regex in JavaScript, your regex will be.
/^(\/.*?\/)([^/]+)/gm
and replacement string should look like $1whatever
var str = "your url strings ..."
var replStr = 'replacement';
var re = /^(\/.*?\/)([^/]+)/gm;
var result = str.replace(re, '$1'+replStr);
console.log(result);
based on your input, it should print.
/category1/replacement/item
/category2/replacement/item
/category3/replacement/item
/category4/replacement/item
/category5/replacement/item
See DEMO
We devide it into 3 groups
1.part before replacement
2.replacement
3.part after replacement
yourString.replace(//([^/]*\/[^/]+\/)([^/]+)(\/[^/]+)/g,'$1' + replacement+ '$3');

How can I search patterns with regex groups of characters that have the first two letters uppercased?

I am trying to scrap using system.net and regular expressions a web page that looks like in the picture in order to get info like Created By: see the picture!
Here is my code so far:
String html = web.DownloadString("https://..");
MatchCollection m1 = Regex.Matches(html, #"<div>\s*(.+?)\s*</div>", RegexOptions.Singleline);
foreach (Match m in m1)
{
string tarif = m.Groups[1].Value;
tarife.Add(tarif);
When I tried to inspect the element in Chrome it looks something like this:

How can i use regex to extract the name, anyone who can advise me?
Do you mean like that?
var str = "dsGHsal TDascultu sdOfsaf JParker OFHlsdjfls"
var re = /\b[A-Z]{2}[a-z]+/g
matches = str.match(re) //["TDascultu", "JParker"]

How can I validate dynamic tab and new line delimited string using regex?

I'm trying to implement a validation form with regex where I have to check whether a string is properly Tab and New Line delimited or not. I'm using jqBootstrapValidation. Column numbers can vary from 2 to 10. Like this image below:
What regex should I use?
I believe this is what you're looking for.
([A-Za-z0-9]+[\t\n])+[a-zA-Z0-9]+
This solution will work:
var s = "string here";
var regex = /\t/g;
var lines = s.split(/\n/).length - 1;
var valid = s.match(regex).length == 2 * lines;// valid or not.
alert(valid); // true or false.

Problem with Actionscript Regular Expressions

I have to parse out color information from HTML data. The colors can either be RGB colors or file names to a swatch image.
I used http://www.gskinner.com/RegExr/ to develop and test the patterns. I copied the AS regular expression code verbatim from the tool into Flex Builder. But, when I exec the pattern against the string I get a null.
Here are the patterns and an example of the string (I took the correct HTML tags out so the strings would show correctly):
DIV data:
<div style="background-color:rgb(2,2,2);width:10px;height:10px;">
DIV pattern:
/([0-9]{1,3},[0-9]{1,3},[0-9]{1,3})/
IMG data:
<img src="/media/swatches/jerzeesbirch.gif" width="10" height="10" alt="Birch">
IMG pattern:
/[a-z0-9_-]+/[a-z0-9_-]+/[a-z0-9_-]+\.[a-z0-9_-]+/
Here's my Actionscript code:
var divPattern : RegExp = new RegExp("/([0-9]{1,3},[0-9]{1,3},[0-9]{1,3})/");
var imgPattern : RegExp = new RegExp("/[a-z0-9_-]+/[a-z0-9_-]+/[a-z0-9_-]+\.[a-z0-9_-]+/");
var divResult : Array = divPattern.exec(object.swatch);
var imgResult : Array = imgPattern.exec(object.swatch);
Both of the arrays are null.
This is my first foray into AS coding, so I think I'm declaring something wrong.

(I don't know ActionScript but I know Javascript and they should be close enough to solve your problem.)
To construct a RegExp object for e.g. the pattern ^[a-z]+$, you either use
var pattern : RegExp = new RegExp("^[a-z]+$");
or, better,
var pattern : RegExp = /^[a-z]+$/
The code new RegExp("/^[a-z]+$/") is wrong because this expects a slash before the ^ and after the $.
Therefore, your DIV pattern should be written as
var divPattern : RegExp = /([0-9]{1,3},[0-9]{1,3},[0-9]{1,3})/;
but, as you know, the ( and ) are special characters for capturing, you need to escape them:
var divPattern : RegExp = /\([0-9]{1,3},[0-9]{1,3},[0-9]{1,3}\)/;
For the IMG pattern, as / delimitates a RegEx, you need to escape it as well:
var imgPattern : RegExp = /[a-z0-9_-]+\/[a-z0-9_-]+\/[a-z0-9_-]+\.[a-z0-9_-]+/
Finally, you could use \d in place of [0-9] and \w in place of [a-zA-Z0-9_].
I don't know enough to tell if your regex patterns are correct, but from the docs on the AS3 RegExp class, it looks like your new RegExp() call needs a second argument to declare flags for case sensitivity etc.
EDIT: Also, as Bart K has pointed out, you don't need the / delimiters when using the new method.
So you can use either:
var divPattern:RegExp = new RegExp("([0-9]{1,3},[0-9]{1,3},[0-9]{1,3})", "");
OR you can also use the alternate syntax with /:
var divPattern:RegExp = /([0-9]{1,3},[0-9]{1,3},[0-9]{1,3})/;
... in which case the flag string (if any) is included after the final /
