Each pair of parentheses (…) where the first character is not a ?* is a “capturing group”, which places its result into $1,$2,$3,etc which can be used in the replacement pattern. You might also see the same thing as \1,\2,\3 in other regex engines, (or indeed in the original expression sometimes, for repetition) These are … Read more
If you check the man page of the tool iconv: //TRANSLIT When the string “//TRANSLIT” is appended to –to-code, transliteration is activated. This means that when a character cannot be represented in the target character set, it can be approximated through one or several similarly looking characters. so we could do : kent$ cat test1 … Read more
Use double quote to enclose the quote or escape it. newTemp = mystring.replace(/”/g, “‘”); or newTemp = mystring.replace(/”/g, ‘\”);
NOTE: Regex is not a lexer or a parser. If you have some weird edge case where you need some oddly nested comments parsed out of a string, use a parser. For the other 98% of the time this regex should work. I had pretty complex block comments going on with nested asterisks, slashes, etc. … Read more
You need to pass Path arguments as explained by the error message: Path from = cfgFilePath.toPath(); //convert from File to Path Path to = Paths.get(strTarget); //convert from String to Path Files.copy(from, to, StandardCopyOption.REPLACE_EXISTING); That assumes your strTarget is a valid path.
Your second example is the closest. The first problem is your variable name, new, which happens to be one of JavaScript’s reserved keywords (and is instead used to construct objects, like new RegExp or new Set). This means that your program will throw a Syntax Error. Also, since the dot (.) is a special character … Read more
IF you are trying to use the Ctrl+F to find and replace well you can’t. at least I dont know how. but if you have a cell say A1 that contains the following : “stack,overflow” then if you type this in A2 it should work: =SUBSTITUTE(A1, “,”, char(10)) https://support.google.com/docs/bin/static.py?hl=en&topic=25273&page=table.cs you can then copy the content … Read more
Well, you can use this: var reg = new RegExp(oldWord, “g”); myString.replace(reg, “”); or simply: myString.replace(new RegExp(oldWord, “g”), “”);
Both \n (new line) and \r (carraige return) create a new line. To replace all instances of both at the same time: s.replace(/[\n\r]/g, ”); Note that you might want to replace them with a single space rather than nothing.
Another tip on how to get the regex for a selected block. Open one of the files that contains the multiple lines (multiline) to search or replace. Click Ctrl+F and select “Regular expression”. Close the Find/Replace window. Select the block you need and click again Ctrl+F to open the Find/Replace window. Now in the Find … Read more
