This RE will match XML tag elements. All elements must be closed. Won't match nested tags

This will match all tags in a string, it's good for stripping HTML or XML tags to get the plain text.It works with attributes that include javascript or "<>". It will match all these <hr size="3" noshade color="#000000" align="left"> <p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px" align="center"><font face="Times New Roman" size="5"><b>UNITED STATES</b></font></p> <input type=button onclick='if(n.value>5)do_this();'> not this <br> <input type=button onclick="n>5?a():b();" value=test> not this <br> <input type=button onclick="n>5?a(\"OK\"):b('Not Ok');" value=test> not this <br> <input type=button onclick='n>5' value=test onmouseover="n<5&&n>8" onmouseout='if(n>5)alert(\'True\');else alert("False")'> not this <br>

Match the content of any regular tag/s

Searches for tags and there atributes according to the HTML 2.0 specification to limit length of tags to 72 characters, and length of attribute values to 1024 characters.

Find HTML tags that have javascript events attached to them.

Matches a valid "empty" tag (has trailing slash). Note, if you run it against a string such as <img src="test.gif" alt="<hr />"> it will indeed return a match. But, the match is not at character 1 like you'd suspect, but rather it's matching the internal <hr />. If you look at the source of this tag (http://concepts.waetech.com/unclosed_tags/) you'll find a whoe suite of regex's for matching html tags. Using them you could feasibly step though a document and avoid this mismatch as the outer tag would match *in totality* and you'd completely skip this inner match.

Matches the 216 web colors with or without the '#' sign.

The goal of this regular expression is to replace all & (ampersand) characters by & if they are not the start of HTML entities. I used http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_entitiesref.asp as a reference. You can then use RegExp Replace method to do the work. Was helpful for me, might helpful be for you...

Removes pesky comments and commented javascript from HTML

This expression separates a Visual Basic (VB) source code line into the code part and the comment part (if any, following an apostrophe character not enclosed in quote marks).

This RX is used to find get all named tags in an html string. If you find a problem with it, please email [email protected]

Use this regular expression pattern to get the string1, string2, string3 .... from <blockquote>string1<br>string2<br>string3<br></blockquote>

Match any image insert in a tag . simply replace the .jpg in the pattern whit a variable of content type ex:.swf,.js,.gif and loop the pattern to retrieve all tag whit the contenttype pass trought.... Very useful when you have people uploading html document in your site and you want to retrieve all dependecy.

A general string validation to insure that NO malicious code or specified characters are passed through user input. This will allow you to input any characters except those specified. The expression above does not allow user input of <>`~!/@\#}$%:;)(_^{&*=|'+. Input as many invalid characters you wish to deny. This really works!

This expression validates for valid C# or C++ identifier

Updated, changed [\w]* to [\w]+ because pattern should not match Sub (), there would be no function name which would be incorrect. Will extract function declarations from ASP or also VB I assume. Will even capture declarations that break across new lines or ones that use the underscore(line continuation character) in Microsoft's VB, VBA, ASP, etc. Had to put this together to document some code on a project and didn't see anything like it on the web. I hope it helps out anyone else who has to re-engineer ASP or VB code.

grab all tags attributes... <img src="truc"> returns : < (1:img) (2: src="truc") > i use it to clean html pages to grab infos... use a RegEx Replace with "<$1>" to keep only tags codes...

All tags in first submatche All attributes in second one...

The regex validate a quoted string in VBScript or Ansi SQL. The string may contain the containing quote character if it is escaped by being doubled up. In VB/VBScript two double quotes within a string enclosed in double qoutes translate into one double quote within the string In SQL two single quotes within a string enclosed in single qoutes translate into one single quote within the string

Peseudo-HTML code matcher. Allows for one parameter within the first tag (name is optional), the value of which can be optionally delimited by either double or single quotes. Uses backreferencing to ensure that the end and start tags match, and that any single or double quotes match. Very useful for web forums or any situation where users may be prompted to enter text for display on a webpage somewhere, as it can be quickly processed into HTML without allowing HTML to be specified within the input itself (which may pose a security risk).
