Title Test Details Parse Comma Delimited Strings
Expression
^(?<field1>[^,]+),(?<field2>[^,]+),(?<field3>[^,]+)$
Description
Example of a regular expression that can be used to parse a comma delimited string into constituent, named sub-strings. Add or remove regex subfield definitions (?&lt;field1&gt;[^,]+) and corresponding delimiting characters in the regular expression as necessary to accommodate the string and subfields you intend to parse. Optionally, rename the subfield names in the regular expression to more meaningful names if you are using the parsed sub-strings in a program. Replace all occurrences of the comma in the regular expression with any required alternative delimiting character. As long as the delimiting character used does not occur naturally in any of the sub-strings, you should be good-to-go. NOTE: To change the delimiter character you must replace all occurrences of the comma in the current regex (of which there are 5) with the new delimiter character. e.g. (?&lt;field1&gt;[^;]+); changes the delimiter character to a semi-colon for the first field.

Title Test Details Pattern Title
Expression
^(?!000)(?!666)(?<SSN3>[0-6]\d{2}|7(?:[0-6]\d|7[012]))([- ]?)(?!00)(?<SSN2>\d\d)\1(?!0000)(?<SSN4>\d{4})$
Description
Updated on 3/4/2004 per feedback to additionally exclude SSNs that begin with 666 which, as reported, are also not valid. Regular expression for validating US Social Security Numbers. Accepts optional hyphens or spaces as formatting characters. Parses the three subfields of the SSN into three named sub-strings (SSN1, SSN2, and SSN3) to facilitate program use. Rejects matches on all zeros for any individual subfield of the Social Security Number. Matches only on those SSNs that fall within the range of numbers currently allocated by the Social Security Administration.

Title Test Details Pattern Title
Expression
(\w(\s)?)+
Description
Used to verify that the string consists of only A-z, 0 - 9 and underscore. Several words allowed, only one space between them. No spaces up front. Hey, I know it's easy, but it was not in the library! Plus, the test option here is not working well all the time.

Title Test Details Pattern Title
Expression
^((Bob)|(John)|(Mary)).*$(?<!White)
Description
&quot;Starts with but does not end with.&quot; I needed a pattern to require certain first (and optional middle) names, but to fail for certain last names. So if Bob, John, and Mary are acceptable first names but the White's are always rejected then...
