url(r'^([a-zA-Z0-9/_-]+):p:(?P<sku>[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/$', 'product_display', name='product_display'),
url(r'^(?P<path>[a-zA-Z0-9/_-]+)$', 'collection_display', name='collection_display'),
That's my current regex:
My problem is this: I want to be able to match the product_display's regex without using :p: in the regex. I can do this by putting .html at the end to set it apart from the collection_display's regex, but that doesn't fix the problem that is; without the ":p:" in the regex as is above the URI "some-collection/other/other/sku.html" would match the regex all the way up to the ".html" disregarding the sku. How can I do this without using the ":p:" to end the collection regex. Anything will help.
Thanks
It looks like your sku can't contain slashes, so I would recommend using "/" as your delimiter. Then the ".html" trick can be used; it turns out that your collection_display regex doesn't match the dot, but to make absolutely sure, you can use a negative look-behind:
url(r'^([a-zA-Z0-9/_-]+)/(?P<sku>[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)\.html$', 'product_display', name='product_display'),
url(r'^(?P<path>[a-zA-Z0-9/_-]+)(?<!\.html)$', 'collection_display', name='collection_display'),
Alternatively, always end your collection_display urls with a slash and product_display with ".html" (or vice versa).

I'm trying to add something along the lines of this regex logic.
For Input:
reading/
reading/123
reading/456
reading/789
I want the regex to match only
reading/123
reading/456
reading/789
Excluding reading/.
I've tried reading\/* but that doesn't work because it includes reading/
You must escape your backslashes in Hugo, \\/\\d+.
I'm using the following regex to find URLs in a text file:
/http[s]?://(?:[a-zA-Z]|[0-9]|[$-_#.&+]|[!*\(\),]|(?:%[0-9a-fA-F][0-9a-fA-F]))+/
It outputs the following:
http://rda.ucar.edu/datasets/ds117.0/.
http://rda.ucar.edu/datasets/ds111.1/.
http://www.discover-earth.org/index.html).
http://community.eosdis.nasa.gov/measures/).
Ideally they would print out this:
http://rda.ucar.edu/datasets/ds117.0/
http://rda.ucar.edu/datasets/ds111.1/
http://www.discover-earth.org/index.html
http://community.eosdis.nasa.gov/measures/
Any ideas on how I should tweak my regex?
Thank you in advance!

This will trim your output containing trail characters, ) .
import re
regx= re.compile(r'(?m)[\.\)]+$')
print(regx.sub('', your_output))
And this regex seems workable to extract URL from your original sample text.
https?:[\S]*\/(?:\w+(?:\.\w+)?)?
Demo,,, ( edited from https?:[\S]*\/)
Python script may be something like this
ss=""" this is a test http://rda.ucar.edu/datasets/ds117.0/. and I want this to be copied over http://rda.ucar.edu/datasets/ds111.1/. http://www.discover-earth.org/index.html). http://community.eosdis.nasa.gov/measures/). """
regx= re.compile(r'https?:[\S]*\/(?:\w+(?:\.\w+)?)?')
for m in regx.findall(ss):
print(m)
So for the urls you have here:
https://regex101.com/r/uSlkcQ/4
Pattern explanation:
Protocols (e.g. https://)
^[A-Za-z]{3,9}:(?://)
Look for recurring .[-;:&=+\$,\w]+-class (www.sub.domain.com)
(?:[\-;:&=\+\$,\w]+\.?)+`
Look for recurring /[\-;:&=\+\$,\w\.]+ (/some.path/to/somewhere)
(?:\/[\-;:&=\+\$,\w\.]+)+
Now, for your special case: ensure that the last character is not a dot or a parenthesis, using negative lookahead
(?!\.|\)).
The full pattern is then
^[A-Za-z]{3,9}:(?://)(?:[\-;:&=\+\$,\w]+\.?)+(?:\/[\-;:&=\+\$,\w\.]+)+(?!\.|\)).
There are a few things to improve or change in your existing regex to allow this to work:
http[s]? can be changed to https?. They're identical. No use putting s in its own character class
[a-zA-Z]|[0-9]|[$-_#.&+]|[!*\(\),] You can shorten this entire thing and combine character classes instead of using | between them. This not only improves performance, but also allows you to combine certain ranges into existing character class tokens. Simplifying this, we get [a-zA-Z0-9$-_#.&+!*\(\),]
We can go one step further: a-zA-Z0-9_ is the same as \w. So we can replace those in the character class to get [\w$-#.&+!*\(\),]
In the original regex we have $-_. This creates a range so it actually inclues everything between $ and _ on the ASCII table. This will cause unwanted characters to be matched: $%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?#ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_. There are a few options to fix this:
[-\w$#.&+!*\(\),] Place - at the start of the character class
[\w$#.&+!*\(\),-] Place - at the end of the character class
[\w$\-#.&+!*\(\),] Escape - such that you have \- instead
You don't need to escape ( and ) in the character class: [\w$#.&+!*(),-]
[0-9a-fA-F][0-9a-fA-F] You don't need to specify [0-9a-fA-F] twice. Just use a quantifier like so: [0-9a-fA-F]{2}
(?:%[0-9a-fA-F][0-9a-fA-F]) The non-capture group isn't actually needed here, so we can drop it (it adds another step that the regex engine needs to perform, which is unnecessary)
So the result of just simplifying your existing regex is the following:
https?://(?:[$\w#.&+!*(),-]|%[0-9a-fA-F]{2})+
Now you'll notice it doesn't match / so we need to add that to the character class. Your regex was matching this originally because it has an improper range $-_.
https?://(?:[$\w#.&+!*(),/-]|%[0-9a-fA-F]{2})+
Unfortunately, even with this change, it'll still match ). at the end. That's because your regex isn't told to stop matching after /. Even implementing this will now cause it to not match file names like index.html. So a better solution is needed. If you give me a couple of days, I'm working on a fully functional RFC-compliant regex that matches URLs. I figured, in the meantime, I would at least explain why your regex isn't working as you'd expect it to.
Thanks all for the responses. A coworker ended up helping me with it. Here is the solution:
des_links = re.findall('http[s]?://(?:[a-zA-Z]|[0-9]|[$-_#.&+]|[!*\(\),]|(?:%[0-9a-fA-F][0-9a-fA-F]))+', des)
for i in des_links:
tmps = "/".join(i.split('/')[0:-1])
print(tmps)
suppose I have this url
url(r'^delete_group/(\w+)/', 'delete_group_view',name='delete_group')
In template
{%url 'delete_group' 'mwas'%} works but when I use
{%url 'delete_group' 'mwas 45'%} is not working. Any way to modify the url to accept both mwas and mwas 45
The issue might be your regex. The URL example you're showing has a space in it. \w won't match spaces. Try this instead: r'^delete_group/([\w\s]+)/ which allows either words or spaces in multiples.
However, know that spaces are not valid in URLs and will likely get converted to %20 or something similar. A best practice is to use hyphens where you would put a space.
I'd also point you at this answer to a similar question.
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 (?<=://).+
Q-1. match url that doesn't contain asp, apsx, css, htm.html,jpg,
Q-2. match url that doesn't end with asp, apsx, css, htm.html,jpg,
You want to use the 'matches count' function, and make it match 0.
eg.
(matches all characters, then a dot, then anything that isnt aspx or css
^.*\.((aspx) | (css)){0}.*$
Edit,
added ^ (start) and $ (end line chars)
Q-1. This is better done using a normal string search, but if you insist on regex: (.(?!asp|apsx|css|htm|html|jpg))*.
Q-2. This is better done using a normal string search, but if you insist on regex: .*(?<!asp|css|htm|jpg)(?<!aspx|html)$.
If your regular expression implementation does allow lookaround assertions, try these:
(?:(?!aspx?|css|html?|jpg).)*
.*$(?<!aspx?|css|html?|jpg)
