I'm working on WatiN automation tool. I'm having problem in regular expression. I've situation where i have to enter some text and click on a button in the popup window. I'm using AttachToIE method and URL attribute("http://192.168.25.10:215/admin/SelectUsers.aspx?Type=FeedbackID=ef5ad7ef5490-4656-9669-32464aeba7cd") of the popup to attach to the popup.
The problem is each time the popup appears the ID value in the URL changes. So i'm not able to access the popup. can anyone plz help with this by giving me Regular Expression for the changing value of ID in the below URL
("http://192.168.25.10:215/admin/SelectUsers.aspx?Type=FeedbackID=ef5ad7ef5490-4656-9669-32464aeba7cd")
thanking you
It appears that you have a URL with 2 query string parameters Type and ID and your pattern is:
"http://192.168.25.10:215/admin/SelectUsers.aspx?Type=Feedback&ID={some id}"
You can use the Find.ByUrl() attribute constraint method and pass it to AttachToIE() as shown below with the regex for matching that pattern.
string url = "http://192.168.25.10:215/admin/SelectUsers.aspx?Type=Feedback&ID="
Regex regex = new Regex(url + "[a-z0-9]+", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
IE ie = IE.AttachToIE(Find.ByUrl(regex));
string baseUrl ="http://192.168.25.10:215/admin/SelectUsers.aspx?Type=FeedbackID="
Regex urlIE= new Regex(baseUrl + "[\\wd]+", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
IE ie = IE.AttachToIE(Find.ByUrl(urlIE);
I'm not familiar with WatiN but it looks like it's runs on .Net so perhaps this might help?
var desiredId = "000000000000-0000-0000-000000000000";
var url = "http://192.168.25.10:215/admin/SelectUsers.aspx?Type=FeedbackID=ef5ad7ef5490-4656-9669-32464aeba7cd&someMoreStuff";
var pattern = #"(?i)(?<=FeedBackId=)[-a-z0-9]+";
var result = Regex.Replace(url, pattern, desiredId);
Console.WriteLine(result);
//Output: http://192.168.25.10:215/admin/SelectUsers.aspx?Type=FeedbackID=000000000000-0000-0000-000000000000&someMoreStuff
The following pattern should have the same affect but is more defensive. It should only match stuff in the query string, it requires the id to be 35 characters and won't match similar parameter names like "PreviousFeedBackId".
var pattern = #"(?i)(?<=\?.*\bFeedBackId=)[-a-z0-9]{35,35}\b";
If you just want to extract the id:
var id = Regex.Match(url, pattern).Value;
Console.WriteLine(id);
//output: ef5ad7ef5490-4656-9669-32464aeba7cd
WatiN has a feature where in we can use the url by neglecting the query string. Below is the code which is working fine for me.
string baseUrl = "http://192.168.25.10:215/admin/SelectUsers.aspx";
IE ie = IE.AttachToIE(Find.ByUrl(baseUrl,true));

I looking for regular expression to use in my javascript code, which give me last part of url without parameters if they exists - here is example - with and without parameters:
https://scontent-fra3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/14238253_132683573850463_7287992614234853254_n.jpg?oh=fdbf6800f33876a86ed17835cfce8e3b&oe=599548AC
https://scontent-fra3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/14238253_132683573850463_7287992614234853254_n.jpg
In both cases as result I want to get:
14238253_132683573850463_7287992614234853254_n.jpg
Here is this regexp
.*\/([^?]+)
and JS code:
let lastUrlPart = /.*\/([^?]+)/.exec(url)[1];
let lastUrlPart = url => /.*\/([^?]+)/.exec(url)[1];
// TEST
let t1 = "https://scontent-fra3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/14238253_132683573850463_7287992614234853254_n.jpg?oh=fdbf6800f33876a86ed17835cfce8e3b&oe=599548AC"
let t2 = "https://scontent-fra3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/14238253_132683573850463_7287992614234853254_n.jpg"
console.log(lastUrlPart(t1));
console.log(lastUrlPart(t2));
May be there are better alternatives?
You could always try doing it without regex. Split the URL by "/" and then parse out the last part of the URL.
var urlPart = url.split("/");
var img = urlPart[urlPart.length-1].split("?")[0];
That should get everything after the last "/" and before the first "?".
I'm trying to strip out facebook.com from a URL. Can someone please help me with the RegEx to do this in NodeJs and express?
"http://www.facebook.com/RalphLauren"
I need to be left with "RalphLauren" as a string.
Thanks in advance!!!
Update:
This did the trick for what I wanted:
var url = 'http://www.facebook.com/RalphLauren';
var name = url.substr(url.lastIndexOf('/')+1);
No need for a regular expression. Use the parse method of the URL module and extract the path.
var parts = url.parse("http://www.facebook.com/RalphLauren");
console.log(parts.path); // '/RalphLauren'
Try
var newString = "http://www.facebook.com/RalphLauren".replace( /http:\/\/(www.)?facebook.com\/(.+)$/, "$2" );
You can use the replace method on strings
var url = "http://www.facebook.com/RalphLauren";
url.replace(/http:\/\/.*\.facebook\.com/, '');

I'm looking for some regex to retrieve the GUID from the following URL
GetUploadedUserAudioIdfriendlyName=eb0c5663-a9c3-4321-8c0e-5ffbfb3139fc
I've so far got
GetUploadedUserAudioId\?friendlyName=([A-Fa-f0-9-]*)
but this is returning the full url
This is the image of where the expressions are to give you an idea of what I am trying to do.
Don't use a regex for this.
Assuming you're using C#.NET, use the static ParseQueryString() method of the System.Web.HttpUtility class that returns a NameValueCollection.
Uri myUri = new Uri("http://www.example.com?GetUploadedUserAudioIdfriendlyName=eb0c5663-a9c3-4321-8c0e-5ffbfb3139fc");
string param1 = HttpUtility.ParseQueryString(myUri.Query).Get("param1");
Check this documentation
EDIT: If you want it as a Guid after that, then cast it to one:
var paramGuid = new Guid(param1);
I have a langauge dropdown, and a javascript function which changes the page to the corresponding language selected. I need help on my regex replace:
For example, I would like this URL to turn into this url:
http://localhost:7007/en/Product/Detail/1038
http://localhost:7007/fr/Product/Detail/1038
function languageChange(sender) {
var lang = $(sender).val();
var target = window.location.href;
target = target.replace(/(http:\/\/.*?)([a-zA-Z]{2})(.*$)/gim, '$1' + lang + '$3');
window.location = target;
}
Is your URL always the same structure? If so, you may not need a regex at all. Split the url at each "/", replace index 3, then join your array back to together with "/".
Here is a code sample:
function changeLanguage(url, newLang) {
var url = url.split('/');
url[3] = newLang;
return url.join('/');
}
changeLanguage('http://localhost:7007/en/Product/Detail/1038','Fr');
Note: I originally wrote "splice" instead of "join" in my response. Join is the correct method.
Here is a function that processes any number of URLs within a string, and replaces the language part (the first part of path), only if exists and is from 2 to 4 chars long:
function changeLanguage(text, lang) {
return text.replace(
/\b(\w+:\/\/[^\/]+\/)[A-Z]{2,4}(?=[\/\s]|$)/gim,
'$1' + lang);
}
Edit: Converted to function format.
Use this regex:
target =
target.replace(/(https?:\/\/[^/]+)\/?([^/]*)(.*)/gi, '$1/' + lang + '$3');
if e.g. lang='fr' then target holds http://localhost:7007/fr/Product/Detail/1038 value;
I need to select links with a specific format of URLs. Can I use sizzle to evaluate a link's href attribute against a regular expression?
For example, can I do something like this:
var arrayOfLinks = Sizzle('a[HREF=[0-9]+$]');
to create an array of all links on the page whose URL ends in a number?
Give this a try. I've attempted to convert the jQuery regex selector that Kobi linked to into a Sizzle selector extension. Seems to work, but I haven't put it through a lot of testing.
Sizzle.selectors.filters.regex = function(elem, i, match){
var matchParams = match[3].split(',', 2);
var attr = matchParams[0];
var pattern = matchParams[1];
var regex = new RegExp(pattern.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g,''), 'ig');
return regex.test(elem.getAttribute(attr));
};
In this case, your example would be written as:
var arrayOfLinks = Sizzle('a:regex(href,[0-9]+$)');
