Input mask jquery : letter or number - javascript

In jquery input mask,
We can specify number and letter. How to get the format where user can input letter or number,
A = Letter,
9 = number.
I need a mask like this AA - (A or 9)(A or 9) - 99,
For example, it can be AA-99-99
and in another case it can be AA-A9-99, or
AA-AA-99,
and so on. I have tried a lot, not suitable.
Please advise.

As you noted * stands for alphanumeric character, so AA-**-99 should do the job.
Or you could use regexp lik [A-Za-z]{2}-\w{2}-\d{2}, but it looks like regex placeholders like \w are not supported like this. Enclosing it to square brackets works ok:
<input id="example2" data-inputmask-regex="[A-Za-z]{2}-[\w]{2}-\d{2}" />
Here is a working plunker: https://plnkr.co/edit/SDkFm5VChO7W19VuOXmK?p=preview

From the docs, you can use this method.
The regex AA-([A]|[9])([A]|[9])-99 will match your situation of numbers/letters.
HTML
<input id="example2" data-inputmask-regex="AA-([A]|[9])([A]|[9])-99" />
Javascript
(function() {
$("#example2").inputmask();
})();

If by A you mean exactly the letter A and by 9 exactly the number 9, then this should work for you:
$("#myinput").inputmask({mask:"[AA]-[A|9]{2}-[99]"});

Regex for zero to multiple range like these: "[12,128]" / "[45,545][7445,78656]"

I'm looking for a Regex to valid a string variable following these conditions:
0 to X ranges
a range looks like this: [num1,num2]
a number could have 5 digits max
I have this one currently: /((\[[0-9]{1,5},[0-9]{1,5}\])*)/
But when I try it with string [4,5][14,455] on Regex101: https://regex101.com/r/tL1yJ9/2
It outputs [4,5][14,455] and [14,455]
Instead of what I want: [4,5] and [14,455]
I think I'm not far from what I want but don't know what's missing!
Use simple regex like /\[\d{1,5},\d{1,5}\]/g
console.log(
'[4,5][14,455]'.match(/\[\d{1,5},\d{1,5}\]/g)
)
Regex explanation here
Amended your regex to include g to work globally, not just the first element it finds.
/((\[[0-9]{1,5},[0-9]{1,5}\])*)/g

Simple Regexp Pattern matching with escape characters

Hopefully a simple one!
I've been trying to get this to work for several hours now but am having no luck, as I'm fairly new to regexp I may be missing something very obvious here and was hoping someone could point me in the right direction. The pattern I want to match is as follows: -
At least 1 or more numbers + "##" + at least 1 or more numbers + "##" + at least 1 or more numbers
so a few examples of valid combinations would be: -
1##2##3
123#123#123
0##0##0
A few invalid combinations would be
a##b##c
1## ##1
I've got the following regexp like so: -
[\d+]/#/#[\d+]/#/#[\d+]
And am using it like so (note the double slashes as its inside a string): -
var patt = new RegExp("[\\d+]/#/#[\\d+]/#/#[\\d+]");
if(newFieldValue!=patt){newFieldValue=="no match"}
I also tried these but still nothing: -
if(!patt.text(newFieldValue)){newFieldValue==""}
if(patt.text(newFieldValue)){}else{newFieldValue==""}
But nothing I try is matching, where am I going wrong here?
Any pointers gratefully received, cheers!
1) I can't see any reason to use the RegExp constructor over a RegExp literal for your case. (The former is used primarily where the pattern needs to by dynamic, i.e. is contributed to by variables.)
2) You don't need a character class if there's only one type of character in it (so \d+ not [\d+]
3) You are not actually checking the pattern against the input. You don't apply RegEx by creating an instance of it and using ==; you need to use test() or match() to see if a match is made (the former if you want to check only, not capture)
4) You have == where you mean to assign (=)
if (!/\d+##\d+##\d+/.test(newFieldValue)) newFieldValue = "no match";
You put + inside the brackets, so you're matching a single character that's either a digit or +, not a sequence of digits. I also don't understand why you have / before each #, your description doesn't mention anything about this character.
Use:
var patt = /\d+##\d+##\d+/;
You should use the test method of the pat regex
if (!patt.test(newFieldValue)){ newFieldValue=="no match"; }
once you have a valid regular expression.
Try this regex :
^(?:\d+##){2}\d+$
Demo: http://regex101.com/r/mE8aG7
With the following regex
[\d+]/#/#[\d+]/#/#[\d+]
You would only match things like:
+/#/#5/#/#+
+/#/#+/#/#+
0/#/#0/#/#0
because the regex engine sees it like on the schema below:
Something like:
((-\s)?\d+##)+\d+

JS XRegExp Replace all non characters

My objective is to replace all characters which are not dash (-) or not number or not letters in any language in a string.All of the #!()[], and all other signs to be replaced with empty string. All occurences of - should not be replaced also.
I have used for this the XRegExp plugin but it seems I cannot find the magic solution :)
I have tryed like this :
var txt = "Ad СТИНГ (ALI) - Englishmen In New York";
var regex = new XRegExp('\\p{^N}\\p{^L}',"g");
var b = XRegExp.replace(txt, regex, "")
but the result is : AСТИН(AL EnglishmeINeYork ... which is kind of weird
If I try to add also the condition for not removing the '-' character leads to make the RegEx invalid.
\\p{^N}\\p{^L} means a non-number followed by a non-letter.
Try [^\\p{N}\\p{L}-] that means a non-number, non-letter, non-dash.
A jsfiddle where to do some tests... The third XRegExp is the one you asked.
\p{^N}\p{^L}
is a non-number followed by a non-letter. You probably meant to say a character that is neither a letter nor a number:
[^\p{N}\p{L}]
// all non letters/numbers in a string => /[^a-zA-z0-9]/g
I dont know XRegExp.
but in js Regexp you can replace it by
b.replace(/[^a-zA-z0-9]/g,'')

regex search a string for contents between two strings

I am trying my upmost best to get my head around regex, however not having too much luck.
I am trying to search within a string for text, I know how the string starts, and i know how the string ends, I want to return ALL the text inbetween the string including the start and end.
Start search = [{"lx":
End search = }]
i.e
[{"lx":variablehere}]
So far I have tried
/^\[\{"lx":(*?)\}\]/;
and
/(\[\{"lx":)(*)(\}\])/;
But to no real avail... can anyone assist?
Many thanks
You're probably making the mistake of believing the * is a wildcard. Use the period (.) instead and you'll be fine.
Also, are you sure you want to stipulate zero or more? If there must be a value, use + (one or more).
Javascript:
'[{"lx":variablehere}]'.match(/^\[\{"lx":(.+?)\}\]/);
The * star character multiplies the preceding character. In your case there's no such character. You should either put ., which means "any character", or something more specific like \S, which means "any non whitespace character".
Possible solution:
var s = '[{"lx":variablehere}]';
var r = /\[\{"(.*?)":(.*?)\}\]/;
var m = s.match(r);
console.log(m);
Results to this array:
[ '[{"lx":variablehere}]',
'lx',
'variablehere',
index: 0,
input: '[{"lx":variablehere}]' ]
\[\{"lx"\:(.*)\}\]
This should work for you. You can reach the captured variable by \1 notation.
Try this:
^\[\{\"lx\"\:(.*)\}\]$
all text between [{"lx": and }] you will find in backreference variable (something like \$1 , depends on programming language).

Javascript Regular Expressions - Replace non-numeric characters

This works:
var.replace(/[^0-9]+/g, '');
That simple snippet will replace anything that is not a number with nothing.
But decimals are real too. So, I'm trying to figure out how to include a period.
I'm sure it's really simple, but my tests aren't working.
Simply: var.replace(/[^\d.-]+/g, '');
Replacing something that is not a number is a little trickier than replacing something that is a number.
Those suggesting to simply add the dot, are ignoring the fact that . is also used as a period, so:
This is a test. 0.9, 1, 2, 3 will become .0.9123.
The specific regex in your problem will depend a lot on the purpose. If you only have a single number in your string, you could do this:
var.replace(/.*?(([0-9]*\.)?[0-9]+).*/g, "$1")
This finds the first number, and replaces the entire string with the matched number.
Try this:
var.replace(/[^0-9\\.]+/g, '');
there's a lot of correct answers already, just pointing out that you might need to account for negative signs too.. "\-" add that to any existing answer to allow for negative numbers.
Try this:
var.replace(/[0-9]*\.?[0-9]+/g, '');
That only matches valid decimals (eg "1", "1.0", ".5", but not "1.0.22")
If you don't want to catch IP address along with decimals:
var.replace(/[^0-9]+\\.?[0-9]*/g, '');
Which will only catch numerals with one or zero periods
How about doing this:
var numbers = str.gsub(/[0-9]*\.?[0-9]+/, "#{0} ");
Sweet and short inline replacing of non-numerical characters in the ASP.Net Textbox:
<asp:TextBox ID="txtJobNo" runat="server" class="TextBoxStyle" onkeyup="this.value=this.value.replace(/[^0-9]/g,'')" />
Alter the regex part as you'ld like. Lots and lots of people complain about the cursor going straight to the end when using the arrow keys, but people tend to deal with this without noticing it for instance, arrow... arrow... arrow... okay then... backspace back space, enter the new chars.
Here are a couple of jQuery input class types I use:
$("input.intgr").keyup(function (e) { // Filter non-digits from input value.
if (/\D/g.test($(this).val())) $(this).val($(this).val().replace(/\D/g, ''));
});
$("input.nmbr").keyup(function (e) { // Filter non-numeric from input value.
var tVal=$(this).val();
if (tVal!="" && isNaN(tVal)){
tVal=(tVal.substr(0,1).replace(/[^0-9\.\-]/, '')+tVal.substr(1).replace(/[^0-9\.]/, ''));
var raVal=tVal.split(".")
if(raVal.length>2)
tVal=raVal[0]+"."+raVal.slice(1).join("");
$(this).val(tVal);
}
});
intgr allows only numeric - like other solutions here.
nmbr allows only positive/negative decimal. Negative must be the first character (you can add "+" to the filter if you need it), strips -3.6.23.333 to -3.623333
I'm putting nmbr up because I got tired of trying to find the way to keep only 1 decimal and negative in 1st position
This one just worked for -ve to +ve numbers
<input type="text" oninput="this.value = this.value.replace(/[^0-9\-]+/g, '').replace(/(\..*)\./g, '$1');">
I use this expression to exclude all non-numeric characters + keep negative numbers with minus sign.
variable.replace(/[^0-9.,\-]/g,'')
