i have to look into it

I am finally attempting to learn some regex. I am making a listview app as part of an interface at work. I am calculating the priority of a call based on different info.

In this case, I need to tell if the Comments variable contains one of the listed names and also a call ID number (4 - 6 digits). The format is not standardized, and I don't mind a few false positives.

Here is my current regex:

Hi! It seems like your problem is close to mine. I also can't figure out a regex that can deal with this situation:
I want to change some Bible verses reference styles from . to : that would work like this:
change:
Havia 1.000 pessoas lendo Mateus 4.2 e Lucas 3.25-27

to:
Havia 1.000 pessoas lendo Mateus 4:2 e Lucas 3:25-27
Using a sed syntax I had done this:
s/\.([1-9]/:\1/g
but then the 1.000 becomes 1:000

will 1.000 always be the same? will whatever number is there have 2 or less digits after the .? Are there any chapters that have >99 verses?

My idea is to have a regular expressions that can substitute the . (period) for : (colon) only when it precedes no more two digits. So 8.50 would be 8:50, but 2.007 would remain the same.
Yes, there is only Psalm 119, that has more than 99 verses. Good reading tho.
For that little exception I wouldn't bother checking it later.

i don't know the exact syntax, but you can use {min,max} to limit the matching to 1 or 2 digit numbers. {1,2}

Thanks Titan! That worked, but ouch! It will take a while for me to absorb it. I'll take a look into assertions, or whatever it is called.

are you using the analysis tool?

thanks. I will try to work that in to the next release.

Another case that could occur involves numbers such as 135487-1 and a-76542-1. I think the latter is already covered by your regex, but I am not sure on the earlier. however annoying, it still is a valid part number format.

Hi guys,
i need help with parsing clipboard, which contains a list of random URLs.
example:

[engunneer]

you have to loop the regexmatch, I think.

the non regex version may be good enough
