I'm, using this syntax for regular expressions:
Regex cleaner = new Regex("(?:[\\/:?*\"<>|-]){1,}|(?:\\s+)","_");
in RegEx from the Package com.stevesoft.pat version 1.5 of Regular
Expressions in Java
Does any one know how to get this to substitute a backslash from a string
===RegEx Syntax is OK(?:(?:[/:?*\"<>|\-]){1,}(?# <= fast multi)|(?:[ -
]{1,}(?# <= fast multi)){1,})
This seems odd to me. The reading, writing, and Regex processing of the
regex string aren't removing the backslash that protects the double quote,
yet both the initial two backslashes are removed and a backslash has been
added to protect the dash! So it's difficult to know from where you've
output the regex string what's happening.
The Apache Jakarta regex package I'm using
(http://jakarta.apache.org/regexp/)
I can't actually find the download, can you point me to it please
uses a regex format that's more familiar to me and that supports specifying
a backslash character in a regex string using two backslash characters as
you've done. In cases like this, I've resorted to trying three or four
backslashes in hopes that something will work. If not, I'd consider trying
the Jakarta package instead. You shouldn't have to waste time on stuff
like this.
Yeah your right :)
