regular expression in formapi

rodigz

Hi,

I have perl regular expresion and I want to have it same function in formapi. How will I do it?
($summary_text =~ /\<a+\s+\href+\="/)

Jens

Hi,

you can use regular expressions in JavaScript&colon;

var zeichen = "...my text ...";
var x = /(.*)\s{2,20}(\w+)\s{2,20)/;
x.exec(zeichen);

var name = RegExp.$1;
var text = RegExp.$2;


Ciao,
Jens

thanks Jens for your reply but can you elaborate your code.

Jens

The regex before doesn't make sense for zeichen=... my text .., it's only an example for using regex in Javascript&colon;

here is a working one

var zeichen = "my regextext";
var x = /(.*)\s+(.*)/;
x.exec(zeichen);
var name = RegExp.$1;
var text = RegExp.$2;

where name = my and text = regextext

the same in perl is:
$zeichen = "my regextext";
$zeichen =~ /(.*)\s+(.*)/;
$name = $1;
$text = $2;

thanks Jen..

where can I read manual of formapi regular expression.

Jens

there isn't a manual for regex in formapi.
it's a javascript functionality.
I am sure you can find some docs in www
I have only some german sites like selfhtml.teamone.de

A good quick-reference site is: www.devguru.com

They have sections on Javascript, ASP, VBScript, CSS, and others.

This site wouldn't be real helpful if you've never used these languages, but as a quick-reference its great.
