Find string with more then numbers between two other strings

Mon, 07 Mar 2011 05:14:00 GMT

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

Is it safe to assume that you have well-formed XML (even though you
don't want to parse it), that the element has no child elements,
and finally that there are no comments or CDATA blocks in

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:

Where the help content is any string that contains one or more
characters that are NOT digits.

I know [^0-9] would match a single non-digit character

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

My apologies for not supplying enough information. Please understand
that it stems from my lack of understanding RegEx and not anything else.

I am using this in Real Studio. It uses the PCRE library, v7.7

Is that helpful?

Thanks

Chris,

That is getting me the whole line. Is there a way to just pull out the

Thanks,

More information would be useful.

You haven't provided your attempts - probably they are failing because
you are using "." and expecting it to match newlines, which it doesn't

Hello All,

I can do basic regex, but this one has me stumped. I need to extract
the table name from a DDL statement. Generally, when creating a table
the statement looks like this:

It certainly does matter that it's Unix grep, because that allows you
to pipe and invert, which is far easier and probably faster too.

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

And to get get everything that does

RegEx for range

Sun, 14 Feb 2010 11:15:00 GMT

{1,9}, right? I think that's what your asking. {2,} means two or
more, {,3} means three or less, and {2,3} means both two or more and
three or less (i.e., 2-3).

Hi All,

I am trying to write a regEX for numbers which should only test for range {1-9} and not for range {10,}
It should only check for 1 to 999999999 and not 1111111111 or more(means should accept them).
for range more than 10 or more we use {10

Ok, the main regex that will do this is:

(?m-s)^.*?(?:WordToCheck).*$

Except CF8 doesn't support the '-s' flag, to prevent '.' matching
newlines, so instead I had to do:

(?m)^.*?(?:WordToCheck)[^\n]*$

And here's the full code example/test
