includePattern regex

nipper

OK, so I am doing a deployment of JSPs, only. Works great with one minor annoyance, I have some zz_preview.jsp files that get deployed.

I use includePattern regex=".*\.jsp$"

Since I cannot use an excludePattern with the includePattern, I need to change the regex to not zz_ and is .jsp.

My attempts have so far failed.

Tips/pointers/RTFMs/Code Fragments appreciated.

Are you deploying from a workarea or staging?

If the workarea - you could try "^[^z][^z][^_].*\.jsp$"

If staging - why are the zz_* files in staging? I'd remove them in the workarea and submit the deletion to get rid of them.

nipper

Deploying from workarea, not staging.

Not all of the zz files are in the doc root, so I changed it to
".*/[^z][^z][^_].*\.jsp$]"

That looks like it is working, stops ALL jsps.

hmmmm, will hack some more.

If OD supports regex assertions something like that may do the trick:
"[\\\/](?!zz_)[^\\\/]+\.jsp$"

nipper

It certainly did not like the last one, everything went.

Man I thought I was doing something stupid, but I guess not.

Well, lots of IWOV configurations do not like "lookaround assertions" in regexes.
More traditional form (without assertions) would be something like that:

"[\\\/]([^z]..|z[^z].|zz[^_])[^\\\/]*\.jsp$"

Just curious.... Have you tried this one? If so, did it work?

No I neglected to try that. It worked. Cool.

I tested with a pretty solid number of variations (including zz_ in the file name) and it works well.

Thanks

You are welcome.

Btw, something like a.jsp or bc.jsp will be (erroneously) filtered out by this regex (I did not want to complicate
it without knowing that it worked). It's easy to adjust for, but regex looks even uglier:

"([\\\/]([^z]..|z[^z].|zz[^_])[^\\\/]*\.jsp$|[^\\\/]{1,2}\.jsp$)"

All this jazz instead of short and clean (?!zz_) - sigh...

) pre-> include pattern regex availability, we had to reverse engineer the exclude only regex pattern to be an include.

Here is the excludepattern regex that includes only jsp's .

"(([^.]...)|(.[^j]..)|(..[^s].)|(...[^p]))$"

Hope this helps

First, this thread topic was about constructing the regex that includes all *.jsp except zz_*.jsp. Nobody had a problem filtering just jsp's.

Second, you probably copied your regex incorrectly, it has numerous problems. For example, [^.] does not make sense, you probably meant [^\.] and so on

John742

Firstly:
This regex is valid as it is working in production as we speak. Let me know if I can walk you thru it
2nd:
you could spend forever trying to come up with one regex for the whole requiement but:
The reverse engineer is to allow multiple exclude patterns together, since you cannot use include and exclude within the same definition.
Now it is as easy as excluding the directories you do not need and applying the above exclude regex to include just jsp's

Please let me know if my logic needs futher explanation.

By all means. My only point was that your reply has little to do to thread topic. Btw, something may work and still have bugs. If I recall you do use Windows

Let me know if I can walk you thru it

Please do not bother. Instead, I would appreciate if you show me any symbol(just one!) that matches the regex "[^.]"

you could spend forever trying to come up with one regex for the whole requiement...

Not sure what you mean by "whole requiement" but if you read nipper's response you will see that it took me perhaps 15 minutes
to come up with the regex to solve his issue

How is this not part of topic? I was providing an alternate solution to satisfy the requirement. Seems like my solution would more gracefully scale for future projects. As far as the exclude regex, it is setup to find everything but jsp. Instead of me explaining that further, why not put it in a regex validator and play with it, unless you absolutely need me to do this and screen print the result. This was implemented in a solaris env.

We must be reading different threads. Here is the requirement:

I use includePattern regex=".*\.jsp$"...I need to change the regex to not zz_ and is .jsp

Here is your more graceful and scalable solution

Here is the excludepattern regex that includes only jsp's.
"(([^.]...)|(.[^j]..)|(..[^s].)|(...[^p]))$"

The way I read it, you've suggested a different way (the gracefulness of it is in the eye of the beholder) to do something
Andy already did and nothing at all to address his real issue.

John742

Ok. Sorry if my logic does not make sense. But using to exclude statements is far more scalable that one monster statement. If I have time I will attach some regex matches on this statement. Have a wonderful day Smiley Happy
