Subject: Re: [xsl] How to split an RegEx into several lines for readability? From: "Rashmi Rubdi" <rashmi.sub@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun, 29 Apr 2007 16:31:07 -0400 |
Also, I was thinking that the regular expression itself could be simplified, if all you're trying to match is the first quoted-string or number.
This "[^"]*" RegEx is supposed to match quoted strings, and this "[^"]*"{1} I think would match the first quoted string.
The above 2 regular expressions worked when tested here: http://www.roblocher.com/technotes/regexp.aspx
I'm trying to find a simpler regular expression, I tried the above but they did not match anything.
Also I found the above regular expression syntax at the bottom of the example shown here: http://www.regular-expressions.info/dot.html

As I am an absolute RegEx beginner, please excuse me if this is a trivial question.
At the moment I am playing with:
<xsl:analyze-string select="$vstrInput" regex='([\s]*)(("[^"\\]*((\\.[^"\\]*)*"))|((([-]?[0-9]+)?\.)?[-]?[0-9]+([eE][-+]?[0-9]+)? ))(.*)$' flags="m">
which should match only the first quoted-string or number in the string-argument.
Is there any way I can split this RegEx on separate lines and/or add whitespace so that it would be more readable?
