Is there a way to limit the Filtered word match in the dotnetnuke forum to whole words only. For example, if the word 'bum' is a filtered word replaced by a '~' then the word 'bumble bee' is also affected becoming '~ble bee'
I'd like to limit to a full word match rather than a partial. Any help is most appreciated.
Thanks
Its been awhile but one trick I have done is but a space in the word you are filtering so it has to be bum_ not bumble (treat the underline char as a space in this post) -
Note: this used to work if DNN forum has changed to strip spaces off words in filter list this might not work anymore

I have made a process that reads PDFs and scrapes their text in UiPath. I am struggling to come up with a regular expression that I can use to search for a PO Number. The text that comes from the scrape is fairly unstructured so my best bet is to search for a set of numbers that starts with a 'PO' with no space. For example, "PO1234567890". I will be setting a variable so the system knows that no PO number was found if the string doesn't come up with anything. Any reference material would be welcome as I am a beginner to VB. Thanks!
I have researched and cannot find a way to do the type of search I would like to do.
I expect to be able to search for a "PO1234567890" and no let something like "PO" save. So I somehow need to be able to search for "PO - two digits" and any numbers following without whitespace.
Just try the following:
Dim Regex As System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex
Regex = New System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex("PO[0-9]+")
Regex.Matches(SearchString)
The regex string PO[0-9]+ means:
PO followed by at least one number
if you want more digits for example 3... just use PO[0-9]{3}[0-9]* that means:
PO followed by three numbers and as numbers as it can match.
If you need help using regex matches just ask.
Hope it helps!
I need to search through various large T-SQL scripts and find all references to database objects which has [Database].[SchemaName].[Table|View|StoredProcedure] pattern.
I'm using notepad++ to search folders containing the target scripts. Could someone help me out with a regular expression to identify references to database objects that use the pattern described above. For example:
[MyDB].[MySchema].Employee
MyDb.MySchema.Employee
MyDb.[MySchema].uspGetEmployee
[MyDb].MySchema.vwEmployee
are all candidates to be found because they have the three layers.
[MySchema].Employee is not a candidate because it doesn't follow the pattern of [Db].[Schema].[Object].
Thank you.
This regex:
(\w+|\[\w+\])\.(\w+|\[\w+\])\.\w+
Is as simple as it gets. It means:
A word, or a word in between [] ((\w+|\[\w+\]));
Followed by a dot (\.);
Followed by a word, or a word in between [] ((\w+|\[\w+\]));
Followed by a dot (\.);
Followed by a word (\w+).
Check out this demo and see (and test) what it matches.
Naturally, just place it in the Find what: text field of notepad++ search box.
I am using Lucene to search in a Data-set, I need to now how "" search (I mean exact phrase search) mechanism has been implemented?
I want to make it able to result all "little cat" hits when the user enters "littlecat". I now that I should manipulate the indexing code, but at least I should now how the "" search works.
I want to make it able to result all "little cat" hits when the user enters "littlecat"
This might sound easy but it is very tough to implement. For a human being little and cat are two different words but for a computer it does not know little and cat seperately from littlecat, unless you have a dictionary and your code check those two words in dictionary. On the other hand searching for "little cat" can easily search for "littlecat" aswell. And i believe that this goes beyong the concept of an exact phrase search. Exact phrase search will only return littlecat if you search for "littlecat" and vice versa. Even google seemingly (expectedly too), doesnt return "little cat" on littlecat search
A way to implement this is Dynamic programming - using a dictionary/corpus to compare your individual words against(and also the left over words after you have parsed the text into strings).
Think of it like you were writing a custom spell-checker or likewise. In this, there's also a scenario when more than one combination of words may be left over eg -"walkingmydoginrain" - here you could break the 1st word as "walk", or as "walking" , and this is the beauty of DP - since you know (from your corpus) that you can't form legitimate words from "ingmydoginrain" (ie rest of the string - you have just discovered that in this context - you should pick the segmented word as "Walking" and NOT walk.
Also think of it like not being able to find a match is adding to a COST function that you define, so you should get optimal results - meaning you can be sure that your text(un-separated with white spaces) will for sure be broken into legitimate words- though there may be MORE than one possible word sequences in that line(and hence, possibly also intent of the person seeking this)
You should be able to find pretty good base implementations over the web for your use case (read also : How does Google implement - "Did you mean" )

How to split text without spaces into list of words?
I'm working on a translator that will take English language text (as user input into a UITextView) and (with a button press) replace specific words with alternatives. I have both the English words in scope plus their alternatives in separate Arrays (englishArray and alternativeArray), indexed correspondingly.
My challenge is finding an algorithm that will allow me to identify a word in the input text (a UITextView) ignoring characters like <",.()>, lookup the word in englishArray (case insensitive), locate the corresponding word in alternativeArray and then use that word in place of the original - writing it back to the UITextView.
Any help greatly appreciated.
NB. I have created a Category extending the NSArray functionality with a indexOfCaseInsensitiveString method that ignores case when doing an indexOfObject type lookup if that helps.
Tony.
I think that using an NSScanner would be best to parse the string into separate words which you could then pass to your indexOfCaseInsensitiveString method. scanCharactersFromSet:intoString: using a set of all the characters you want to ignore, including whitespace and newline characters should get you to the start of a word, and then you could use scanUpToCharactersFromSet:intoString: using the same set to scan to the end of the word. Using scanLocation at the beginning and end of each scan should allow you to get the range of that word, so if you find a match in your array, you will know where in your string to make the replacement.
Thanks for your suggestion. It's working with one exception.
I want to capture all punctuation so I can recreate the original input but with the substituted words. Even though I have a 'space' in my Character Set, the scanner is not putting the spaces into the 'intoString'. Other characters I specify in the Character Set such as '(' and ';' are represented in the 'intoString'.
Net is that when I recreate the input, it's perfect except that I get individual words running into each other.
UPDATE: I fixed that issue by including:
[theScanner setCharactersToBeSkipped:nil];
Thanks again.
I have over a hundred text files and I need to change the construction of several sentences using a specific format. I am not very familiar or experienced with Word VBA but I hope I could get some ideas to help me get started. I have below the original paragraph and its desired output. Basically I need to place the values (e.g. 40-120 parts) after each item (e.g. isoleucine) and enclose those with "(" and ")".
Original: An acid combination for increasing immunity, comprising the following raw materials by weight: 40-120 parts of isoleucine, 45-135 parts of leucine, 76.5-229.5 parts of lysine hydrochloride, 21.5-64.5 parts of methionine, 35-105 parts of phenylalanine, 40-120 parts of valine, 30-90 parts of threonine, 39-117 parts of arginine, 23-69 parts of histidine, 37.5-112.5 parts of glycine, 50-150 parts of aspartate, 900-2700 parts of dried mushroom, 750-2250 parts of medlar and 250-750 parts of licorice.
Desired Output: An acid combination for increasing immunity comprises (pts.wt.): isoleucine (40-120), leucine (45-135), lysine hydrochloride (76.5-229.5), methionine (21.5-64.5), phenylalanine (35-105), valine (40-120), threonine (30-90), arginine (39-117), histidine (23-69), glycine (37.5-112.5), aspartate (50-150), dried mushroom (900-2700), medlar (750-2250) and licorice (250-750).
Maybe you could try the following sequence :
Find the part you want to change (numbers seperated by - and parts) with the Find function (another link) and a well-formed regexp (meant wildcards for Word)
Set the brackets at the beginning and at the end of the matched element (use the range object)
Delete the last word ("part") - or whatever you want to do
Loop through every results to do the same (see an example of looping through find function here)
Don't forget you can record macro if you are looking for some tips or specific objects (even if the code produced is less complete than the one produced by Excel vba).
Please don't hesitate to post some code if you want some more help,
