Multiline - Regular Expression Match string

I'm trying to understand the format of a regular expression to pull select off multi-line string lines and fill in these lines as the individual elements of an array of strings using regular expressions to Match. The total length of the multiline string may vary as well as the text in the string. The string can contain letters, numbers and special characters. I've attached an example VI. In the example of VI, I want to only return lines starting by "device #" in the table. The number of lines starting by "device #" can vary, but I want to capture them all.

Or is there a better functioning to be used instead of the corresponding regular Expression that will give me the desired result?

Corresponding regular expression works well for this.

  • Regular expression matching is not what matches Pattern

    I read a lot of posts on how match model does not match what match regular expressions will be due some characters does not.

    However, I found a problem with the other way. A simple Reg - Ex who works in the match pattern but not regular Expression match.

    What I have here is just an example. I want to use regular Expression Match then I can specify some matches under.

    The reg - ex's: one or more non-numeric characters, a space, one or more numeric characters. At the beginning of the string.

    How can I get this to work in regular expression matching? I work in LabVIEW 2010f2 32 bit. Here is the code snippet and the results:

    One of the subtle differences is the operator of negation for the character classes.  In match pattern is ~, but for the Match RegEx is ^.

  • Analyze the Mac address with the regular expression matching

    Hello world

    I have a problem with the function of regular expression matching,

    I try to analyse the response both a query arp - a 192.168.0.15 to retrieve the MAC address of the remote IP address, I used the following regular expression: ^ ([0-9a-fA-F]{2}[:-]){5}([0-9a-fA-F]{2})$

    I wonder why should I do a subset of the first string to extract only the part of the MAC address. The regular Expression function is not able to recognize the regular expression directly in the middle of a string?

    I only works when I extracted the subset of tring right as in the picture below.

    Thanks for your replies.

    Get rid of the "^" at the beginning of your regular expression. You are ordering him to find the model at the beginning of the string.

  • Another question about regular expressions with String.matches

    don't match String.matches () method expressions when a substring of the string matches, or must match the whole string? So if I have the string '123ABC', and I ask match "1 or more letters" will be it fail because there are other that the letters in the string, but then spend if I add "1 or more letters AND numbers 1 or more? Thus, in the second case each character in the string is recorded in the research, as opposed to the first. Is that correct, or are there ways to JUST matching a substring in the string instead of all this? I'll do some examples too... but that makes sense?

    It must match the entire string. Use Matcher.find () to match on just a sub-string)

  • pattern by using regular expressions match

    I'm playing (and wrong) with regular expressions

    Select regexp_substr (1 < PSN > / # < 231 > # < 3 25 3 > / < ABc > ',' < [[: alnum:]] + > ') twice;

    give < PSN > - I understand that

    Select regexp_substr (1 < PSN > / # < 231 > # < 3 25 3 > / < ABc > ',' < [[: alnum:]] + >, 1.2 ') twice;

    give < 231 > - I understand that

    Select regexp_substr (1 < PSN > / # < 231 > # < 3 25 3 > / < ABc > ',' < [[: alnum:]] + >, 1.3 ') twice;

    give < ABc > which confused me until I realized that < 3 25 > has not been matched, because it has a space inside

    so I changed it to

    Select regexp_substr (1 < PSN > / # < 231 > # < 3 25 3 > / < ABc > ',' <. * + > ', 1.3) twice;

    who gave a syntax error, so I changed it again to

    Select regexp_substr (1 < PSN > / # < 231 > # < 3 25 3 > / < ABc > ',' <. * + > ') twice;

    that works, but gives < PSN > / # < 231 > # < 3 25 3 > / < ABc >

    I guess because the. * corresponds to anyting that all but the last closure >

    The question I have is how can I retrieve the text of mounting bracket included (even if it has multiple spaces)?

  • Search for a string using "Game Plan" or "Regular Expression to Match."

    Hello

    I would use the 'game plan' or the vi "Expression regular game" simply because the products that provide these vi. The result that interests me is the substring 'after '. I want to be able to specify a "substring" and get everything after the substring of the input string. However, I'm getting all confused and/or watered upward when it comes to "regular expressions". Is there a way to create a "regular expression" which acts as a 'substring' to find within the input string?

    The substring is a path of partial directory that contains a colon, backslashes, etc. which are part of a directory path.  If some how the "regular expression" entry must ingnore all special characters and simply to understand if the substring in the string entry and give me 'all things' after the substring in the output of 'after the string.

  • "Matches regular Expression" and "Model match" vi behaves differently

    Hello

    I need a simple matching chain and experimenting that found the "Regular Expression Match' and 'Correspondence model' vi behave a little differently. I guess that the entries of the regular expression on the two the same behavior. It's a difference that I discovered that the "|" character ("vertical" character, commonly used as an operator 'or') is recognized as such in the regex to Match vi, but not in the match vi model (where it is taken to the letter). Furthermore, I can't find any document using (online or in LabVIEW) on the ' | ' usage in regular expressions of character. Is - this documented anywhere?

    For example, suppose I want corresponding to one of the following 4 words: 'The' or 'fast' or 'brown' or 'fox '. The regular expression ' the | fast | Brown | Fox' (without the quotes) works for the vi Regular Expression Match but not the match pattern vi. Here is a photo of the block diagram and the results of the façade:

     

    The Help explains that the vi Regular Expression Match performs a little more slowly the match vi pattern, so I started with the latter. But since he does not work for me, I'll use the old. But does anyone have an idea of the speed difference? I guess that's negligible in a simple example.

  • Regular expression help please. (extraction of a subset of the string between two markers)

    I haven't used regular expressions before, and I can't find a regular expression to extract a subset of the string between two markers.

    The chain;

    Stuff of header I want
    Stuff of header I want

    6 ERRORS
                         
    Info I want to line 1
    Info I want line 2
    Info I want line 3
    Info I want to line 4
    Info I want to line 5
    Info I want line 6
    END_ERRORS

    From the string above (it is read from a text file), I try to extract the subset of string between ERRORS 6 and END_ERRORS. The number of errors (6 in this case) can be any number from 1 to 32, and the number of lines I want to extract will correspond with this number. I can provide this number of a caller VI if necessary.

    My current solution, which works, but is not very elegant;

    (1) using Match Regular Expression for the return of the string after you have synchronized the 6 ERRORS

    (2) uses the Regular Expression matches to return all characters before game END_ERRORS of the string returned by (1)

    Is there a way this can be accomplished using 1 Regular Expression Match? If so someone could suggest how, as well as an explanation of the work of the given regular expression.

    Thank you very much

    I used a character class to catch any word or whitespace characters.  This put inside parentheses a substring matching the criteria that you can get by developing the node for regular expression matching.  The \d matches the numbers and the two * s repetition of the previous term.  So, \d* will find the '6', as well as "123456".

  • How to capture multiple line String using regular expressions?

    Hello

    I have a simple program like this:

    What I want to accomplish is to capture everything between > start and > to end with a single regular expression matching node. It seems that the definition of multiples? true or False does not help.

    I'm using LabVIEW 2012.

    If it is impossible to capture using a single node, that's fine. But I want to assure you that I can make full use of this node without combining several others.

    to parse the string 'gmail '.

    Forgive me if I am away from base, but I'm flying blind at the moment (not LV to test what I say).  You can add to the power of a regular expression using submatches or capture groups.  The regular expression you wrote will grab (I think) @gmail.com for the entire game.  Let's say you want to get 'gmail' without a second function call.  You can do the first group of a little dishonest selection by moving the * inside the parentheses.  Then, on the BD pull down on the bottom of the function of regular expression matching to expose a variable number of submatches (both should be in this case).  The first should be 'gmail '.   The second one should be "com."

    In summary, @(\w*)\.) (com: net | org) should give you gmail in the first submatch.  Of course, my Perl is a little rusty and LV cannot apply in the same way.
