Regex to match username using negative look aheads? -

-

i want use regex such i'm given list of matches username there not "." present in name

account name: sasha.grey //bad match

account name: liz.hurley //bad match

account name: sharonstone //match

tried out regex:

account name:\s+(.*?(?!.))

i have tried match on regexbudy , result doesn't work in both cases.

i think vks answer correct.

another way (avoiding lookaheads @ all) match . , \n (and whatever character should not in account name

account name:\s+([^.\n]+)$

edit: $ mark end of line (oder end of file - depends on flavor). might want use \n instead.

maybe want know expression doing:

\s+(.*?(?!.))

is not working because match

  • \s+ whitespace (one or more occurences)
  • .*? character (one or many, less possible)

  • (?!.) not any character \n

    if wanted ignore literal ., have escape (so it's (?!\.) or (?![.]) - then, still not work since description is: lookahead non literal dot. this, match '' .*? in every of examples

lua - nginx string.match non posix -

i got string (str1) , want extract after pattern "mycode=", local str1 = "servername/codebase/?mycode=abc123"; local tmp1 = string.match(str1, "mycode=%w+"); local tmp2 = string.gsub(tmp1,"mycode=", ""); from logs, tmp1 => mycode=abc123 tmp2 => abc123 is there better/more efficient way this? belive lua strings not follow posix standard (due size of code base). yes, use capture in pattern control string.match . from lua reference manual (emphasis mine): looks first match of pattern in string s. if finds one, match returns captures pattern ; otherwise returns nil. if pattern specifies no captures, whole match returned. third, optional numerical argument init specifies start search; default value 1 , can negative. it works this: > local str1 = "servername/codebase/?mycode=abc123" > local tmp1 = string.match(str1, "mycode=%w+") > print(tmp1) mycode=abc123 > local tmp2 =...
