Regular expression matches the string starts by &

Hello

I'm writing a Reg Exp, which removes all string starts by '&' and ends by '; '. In other words, I am trying to remove something similar to:
 & nbsp;  & quot; & lt; & gt;  
Any help please.
It does not work:
select regexp_replace (ename, ' ^ & [a - z] {2,4} [;] $') of PGE;
Kind regards
Fateh

Like this?

SQL> with t as
  2  (
  3  select 'xyz & nbsp; test' str from dual
  4  )
  5  select regexp_replace(str,'&.*?;') str
  6  from t

  • 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.

  • 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:

    Rob

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

  • Using Regular Expressions in the Code of edge

    Hello.

    I am quite new to the Edge Code but find it quite interesting to use.

    The find/replace feature is pretty but I got a little confused on how to use regular expression matching.

    I tried to clean up the coordinates of a file Adobe Edge animate full of 120.17px (heavy and less accurate)

    So basically you're looking \d+\.\d+px

    First of all, she says "use /re/ for regex" even though I know the Code is made for developers who * courses * know that it took me a little time to understand I should just put my regex between slashes.

    /\d+\.\d+PX/

    then the time comes to replace them. ALT-cmd-F and it says "replace".

    Puzzled again.

    Will I type my full sentence there? Maybe a «...» "written up somewhere around would avoid this question because, there, of course, a second field to come.

    And there, I got stuck.

    I can not find how to get the replacement of the model.

    tried to \1 $1 \1/ $1 / nothing seems to work... any hint of welcome.

    Franck,

    You are right that it does not work. I open a topic. Here is the link if you want to follow: https://github.com/adobe/brackets/issues/1861

    FYI, I know exactly how you want to replace the search results, but here are a few tips:

    You must set the text that you want to retrieve by using parentheses. Thus, for example, if you want the integer part of the number of the result, then your regexp would be: / (\d+)\.\d+px/

    Then you must specify the first result using $1, so (when it's fixed), you can use something like: $1px

    Thank you

    You don't need regular expressions for this.  It will be more efficient to use

    TRANSLATE (str

  • Grouping and backreferences with regular expressions on the window to replace the text

    I'm really appreciate the inclusion of regular Expressions in the search and replace functionality. One thing miss me that East of backreferences in the replacement expression. For example, in unix tools vi or sed, I could do something like this:
     s/\(firstPart\) \(secondPart\) \(oldThirdPart\)/\2 \1 newThirdPart/g 
    that allow me to switch the places of first and secondPart and substitute totally thirdPart. If grouping and backreferences are already present in the window replace text, how do you properly call them?

  • 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?

  • Matches regular expression in the collection

    CONNECT REGEXP_INSTR ('{A1:5} {BB:10}{CC:5}', ' (<.*?>) |) () {. *?})', 1, LEVEL) > 0

    If you want to eliminate the unwanted characters <> {} then use REGEXP_REPLACE in addition:

    SELECT REGEXP_REPLACE (REGEXP_SUBSTR ('{A1:5} {BB:10}{CC:5}', ' (<.*?>) |)) () {. *?})', 1, LEVEL), "[<>{}]') token.
    OF THE DOUBLE

  • regexp_substr: a regular expression for the separate comma operator of witn of string literals IN

    The following regular expression separates simple values separated by commas (SELECT regexp_substr (: pCsv,'[^,] +', 1, level) FROM DUAL CONNECT BY regexp_substr (: pCsv, ' [^,] +', 1, level) IS NOT NULL); Exampple: 300100033146068, 300100033146071, 300100033146079 returns 300100033146068 300100033146071 300100033146079

    This works very well if we use the regex with SQL IN operator select * from mytable where t.mycolumn IN (SELECT regexp_substr (: pCsv,'[^,] +', 1, level) FROM DUAL CONNECT BY regexp_substr (: pCsv, ' [^,] +', 1, level) IS NOT NULL);

    But this query does not work if the comma-separated value is a single literal string 'one', 'two', 'three '.

    Thanks for your reply. my request was mainly on regexp_substr.  Need to request was simple: any table with a column of varchar type can be used. Next time I'll give you an example.

    All ways working answer for my question is is SELECT regexp_substr (: pCsv,'[^, "] +', 1, level) FROM DUAL CONNECT BY regexp_substr (: pCsv, ' [^,"] +', 1, level) IS NOT NULL

  • regular expression for the xml tags

    Dear smart people of the labview world.

    I have a question about how to match the names of xml text elements.

    The image that I have some xml, for example:

    Peter

    13

    and I want to match all of the names of elements, that is to say: no, son, grandson, age, regardless of any attribute have these items. There is a regular expression, I can loop, that can do this? (Something like "\<.+\> ". "") It is no good because it matches the entire xml string.) I'd really only two different expressions, one for the match start elements, e.g. and one for the correspondence of the elements, for example.

    Thanks for your help in advance!

    Paul.

    The site Of regular Expressions will be very convenient.

    They have some good tutorials on regexp with a demo of the XML tags:

    Here is a small excerpt:

    The regular expression <\i\c*\s*>matches an opening of the XML without the attributes tag corresponds to a closing tag. <\i\c*(\s+\i\c*\s*=\s*("[^"]*"|'[^']*'))*\s*>corresponds to an opening with a number any attributes. Put all together, <(\i\c*(\s+\i\c*\s*=\s*("[^"]*"|'[^']*'))*| i\c*)\s*="">corresponds to an opening with attributes or a closing tag.  (source)

    If you want advanced XML analysis I suggest JKI XML toolkit.
