grabbing url and anchor text the complicated way:

@<[\s]*a[\s]*[^>]*?href[\s]*=[\"\’\s]*(.*?)[\"\’\s]*[^>]*?> (.*?)<[\s]*/[\s]*a[\s]*>@is

Friend of mine did this regex:

Code:
$xml =~ s#<(performerinfo)>(.*?)</\1>
        #{
            my ($tmp, $data) = ($2);
            $tmp =~ s|<(\w+)><!\[CDATA\[(.*?)\]\]></\1>
                      |{$data->{$1}=$2}|sgex;
            push(@models, $data)
        }#sgex;

Yes, that is an XML parser ...

V_RocKs 04-25-2011 06:24 PM
how about stuff that just gets used daily?
Code:
if (!$page = preg_replace("#<script(.+?) src=\"\/#is", "<script$1 src=\"$baseURL", $page))
        { $page = preg_replace("#<script(.+?) src=\"#is", "<script$1 src=\"$workingUrl", $page); }

Email regex
 
Too big to post here, but its the last page of Mastering Regular Expressions by O'Reilly.

Its 6,598 bytes long and matches email addresses.

Barry-xlovecam 04-25-2011 09:27 PM
This is an email regex i did years ago:

Code:
&ReadParse(*input);
$user_email = $input{'01)required-user_email'};

if ($user_email =~ /(\w{1}[\w-.]*)\@([\w-.]+)/) {
    $user_email = "$1\@$2";
    if( $2 =~ /(domain\.com|domain\.com)/i){
            &disallowed_domain;
            exit;
}   
} else {
    warn ("TAINTED DATA SENT BY $ENV{'REMOTE_ADDR'}: $user_email: $!");
    $user_email = ""; # successful match did not occur
    &illegal;
    exit;
}
 

if ($user_email =~m:^(.*)\@\@(.*)\.(.*)$:) {
&BadFormat;
exit;
}
if ($user_email =~m:^(www\.):) {
&BadFormat2;
exit;
}

if ($user_email =~m:^(.*)\@(.*)\.(.*)$:) { ...}
More understandable ...

Code:

  return false;

regex has often been the bane of my existence.

raymor 02-26-2012 06:13 PM
I wish I were on my computer so I could pull up some doozies.

This one took three of us weeks to refine in 1997. It seems so simple now:
^http(s)?://([a-z0-9]+\.)*mysite.com(:[0-9]+)?(/|$)

okok 02-26-2012 06:57 PM
Oh come on amateurs, someone post an email validator.

scouser 02-26-2012 08:27 PM
saw this one ages ago for validating email addresses. no idea if it works...

Quote:
The regular expression to validate email addresses (possibly multiple in to:, cc: and bcc: form) (from RFC 822) is pretty beefy; definitely the longest non-trivial regular expression that I have seen. Unfortunately, it seems that there are a lot of sites out there on the internet that do not use this regular expression or an equivalent validation as I have encountered far too many sites that do not accept [email protected] as a valid email address.

another year of regex

I fucking hate regex...The most complicated thing I have ever been able to do is replace stuff in a series of numbers.

"[^"]*"

something like changing everything to <p>


<div id="1"></div>
<div id="2"></div>
<div id="3"></div>
<div id="4"></div>

Find
<div id="[^"]*"></div>
and replace with

<p id="[^"]*"></p>
results

<p id="1"></p>
<p id="2"></p>
<p id="3"></p>
<p id="4"></p>
