How to find the last comma and the word following it w/regex

Wed, 07 Mar 2012 03:02:00 GMT

You can use $ to match the end of the string, and [^,] to match
"anything except a comma".

So to find the last comma, you want to match a comma, followed by
"anything except a comma" as many times as necessary until the end of
the string.

To then

I have a dynamically created a comma delimited string via form submission:
i.e. "Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday" OR "Tuesday, Thursday" etc.
Pretty standard stuff. I have already cleaned the string to remove any
preceeding or trailing comma's and

Actually, now that I think about it a little more....

Is it safe to assume that you have well-formed XML (even though you

Get a better parser.  SAX - is designed for stream processing - is
exactly what you need.  The DOM-centric CF XML stuff is great for
simple stuff, but as you've found, only works for small documents.  I
haven't checked CF9, but CF8 uses the Apache XML

I'm struggling with a regular expression to match this:

Ok, in that case, you can do this:

(?<=CREATE\s+TABLE\s+)\w+

Or this:

(?<=CREATE\s+TABLE\s+)[^\n(]+

The "(?<= )" part there is a lookbehind, which is a zero-width

Is that helpful?

To get everything that contains 'master' you'd do:
grep -ir 'master' ./*
