Re: [Dynapi-Dev] Help need with RegEx object

[Leif W <war...@us...>]

Hello,

I'm familiar (but not expert) with regexp usage from Perl and PHP, as well
as sed.  I've taken a look and separated the variable names to keep track of
things.

var s = " test <table>{@field1}</table2> this is a test{@field2}
{@field3:[test message]} tht ere {@field4:[test message4]}";
var r = /\{@.+?\}/g;
var a = s.match(r);
var t = a.join();
var u = t.replace(/\{@(\w+?)\W.+?\}/g,'$1');
alert(
    't\t: ' + t + '\n' +
    'u\t: ' + u
);

In this example, _t_ has the proper values, but _u_ is missing field2 (same
in IE and Mozilla).  So maybe a problem with t.replace.  I'll keep looking.
This preceeds the original question about matching multiple lines.  Can you
give an example of multi-line field names?  Or is it multi-line content?
Like this?

{@multi-
line-
field-
name:[multi-
line-
content]}


Leif

Thanks for you help thus far.

As for the milti-line question I was making reference
to embedded field with (multi-line) content:

{@fieldname:[some content here]}
{@fieldname:[
   some more multi-line
   content here
]}

and field without content can be represented as:

{@fieldname} 
{@fieldname:[]} // same as {@fieldname}

Re: [Dynapi-Dev] Help need with RegEx object

[Kevin <ke...@ke...>]

Hi Raymond,

Multi line string literals in Javascript would be nice.
Though you could escape \ the new line but then it
wouldn't be multi line! Sorry no way around this
one. If I have understood you are wanting a
complex multi line string like your examples below
to pass to the template manager.

Not really. I'm creating a way to embed container
fields with text/html inside a template:

var html='Some text here'
+'{@field1:['
+'   Some text here '
+'   more text here'
+'   {@field2:['
+'      Some text/html here for field2'
+'      Some text here for field2'
+'   ]} {@field3}'
+']}'
+'Some text here '

These new type of container fields can be used for
retrieving text/html directly from the template:

var tp=new Template(html);
fld2=tp.getField('field2'); // retrieve field2 
alert(fld2);
// ^ this will alert "Some text here for field2"
fld2+=' Add some text/html';
tp.setField('field2',fld2); // set field2

I think I've found a solution for the above. This
solution will allow us to nest container fields as
shown above.

Re: [Dynapi-Dev] Help need with RegEx object

[Kevin <ke...@ke...>]

Thanks Raymond,

It's a bit clearer now. Pattern matching in perl
can be done on embedded new lines. The example
below is a string constructed in parts on different
lines for clarity - not a multi line string. Glad you
have it sorted I quite like regex - a very powerful
utilitiy.
