Hey guys,

I'm looking for some program or online page to be able to test my regular expressions easily since they're so complicated to create and debug.
Do you know of any tool or website that has this?

thanks,

Regular expression with foreign characters.

jgivoni — Thu, 19 Apr 2007 18:47:00 GMT

I am working on a search engine handling utf-8 encoded text in any language.
Everything is working so far: The search term is recieved from the user, passed on to the database, and matching rows are returned to the browser - all in utf-8 all the way.

Typing certain foreign characters as ñ, é and ô also matches any n, e and o and vice versa (using MySQL's LIKE operator).

The problem appears when I try to highlight the search terms in the resulting page.
This is done using PHP's preg_replace function and in this case ñ only matches ñ, not n, as well as é matches é but not e and so on. The result simply is that some found rows won't have anything highlighted.

Is there a way to make the regex insensitive to these differences (in a similar way that the i modifier makes it case-insensitive i.e. n also matches N)?
I have tried using the u modifier (for utf-8) but it did not seem to have any effect.

Please help me here!

How do I validate an email address in javascript?
I suppose I should use regular expressions, but I don´t know how to write it.

How do I add similar text to the beginning of every line in textpad without doing it one at a time?

I have a textpad document where I am editing my HTML code. If I need to go through a portion of text and add something like ( pagebody=' ), is there a way to do this without having to just use the paste function and manually go through every line and paste? Also, how do I add similar text to the END of every line also?
