VB Forum / General / December 2004Regular Expression: Help figuring out Pattern
Hello, I need a little help figuring out the Pattern property of Regular Expressions. Im trying to search a document loaded in a textbox. The search has to contain the following flags: Match Case, and Find Whole Word Only. The 'Match Case' can be set from IgnoreCase property. But I am unable to create the Pattern for 'find whole word only'. How to write it? Thank you very much! ok sorry i shouldve searched before posting this. I found the solution... its: Pattern = "\b" & searchstring & "\b" But another problem: I use the following code to strip out all the html tags: Pattern = "<\S[^>]*>" It works well but one drawback is that it leaves out all the javascripts in the page (because they are liek <SCRIPT> ..... </SCRIPT> and this Pattern only strips out SCRIPT tags) .. how can I eliminate the complete SCRIPT tags? also this would also apply in STYLE tags (more preferrably i want to skip out whole HEAD tag) Faraz, How about trying InStr()? Gary > Hello, > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Thank you very much! that would be good... but i was keeping that to an alternative. i thought RegExp had this power to detect stringss from one end to another. I wanted to detect SCRIPT tags and their material starting from <SCRIPT> ... to ... </SCRIPT>. I found a way to do it: rExp.Pattern = "<script\S[^>]*>" but it fails where there is Language parameter.. (eg. <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT">...</SCRIPT>) .. if there is Language inside the script.. it only detects the complete starting script tag, not the /SCRIPT tag. If anyone knows the solution lemme know, otherwise its back to InStr then.. :) > Faraz, > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > > > Thank you very much! |
