10+ regular expressions for efficient web development

10+ regular expressions for efficient web development

Validate an URL

Is a particular url valid? The following regexp will let you know.

/^(https?:\/\/)?([\da-z\.-]+)\.([a-z\.]{2,6})([\/\w \?=.-]*)*\/?$/

Source: http://snipplr.com/view/19502/validate-a-url/

Validate US phone number

This regexp will verify that a US phone number is valid.

/^(\+\d)*\s*(\(\d{3}\)\s*)*\d{3}(-{0,1}|\s{0,1})\d{2}(-{0,1}|\s{0,1})\d{2}$/

Source: http://snippets.dzone.com/posts/show/597

Test if a password is strong

Weak passwords are one of the quickest ways to get hacked. The following regexp will make sure that:

  • Passwords will contain at least (1) upper case letter
  • Passwords will contain at least (1) lower case letter
  • Passwords will contain at least (1) number or special character
  • Passwords will contain at least (8) characters in length
  • Password maximum length should not be arbitrarily limited
(?=^.{8,}$)((?=.*\d)|(?=.*\W+))(?![.\n])(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*[a-z]).*$

Get code within <?php and ?>

If for some reason you need to grab all the code contained within the <?php and ?> tags, this regexp will do the job:

<\?[php]*([^\?>]*)\?>

Source: http://snipplr.com/view/12845/get-all-the-php-code-between/

Match tel: urls

In a recent post, I showed you how you can use iPhone special link prfixes to automatically call someone.
This regular expression will match those tel: urls.

^tel:((?:\+[\d().-]*\d[\d().-]*|[0-9A-F*#().-]*[0-9A-F*#][0-9A-F*#().-]*(?:;[a-z\d-]+(?:=(?:[a-z\d\[\]\/:&+$_!~*'().-]|%[\dA-F]{2})+)?)*;phone-context=(?:\+[\d().-]*\d[\d().-]*|(?:[a-z0-9]\.|[a-z0-9][a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9]\.)*(?:[a-z]|[a-z][a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])))(?:;[a-z\d-]+(?:=(?:[a-z\d\[\]\/:&+$_!~*'().-]|%[\dA-F]{2})+)?)*(?:,(?:\+[\d().-]*\d[\d().-]*|[0-9A-F*#().-]*[0-9A-F*#][0-9A-F*#().-]*(?:;[a-z\d-]+(?:=(?:[a-z\d\[\]\/:&+$_!~*'().-]|%[\dA-F]{2})+)?)*;phone-context=\+[\d().-]*\d[\d().-]*)(?:;[a-z\d-]+(?:=(?:[a-z\d\[\]\/:&+$_!~*'().-]|%[\dA-F]{2})+)?)*)*)$

Validate US zip code

When building a registration form, it is common to ask the user’s zip code. As forms are often boring, there’s a strong chance that the user will try to register false data. This regular expression will make sure he entered a valid American zip code.

^[0-9]{5}(-[0-9]{4})?$

Source: http://reusablecode.blogspot.com/2008/08/isvalidzipcode.html

Validate Canadian postal code

This regexp is very similar to the previous one, but it will match Canadian postal codes instead.

^[ABCEGHJ-NPRSTVXY]{1}[0-9]{1}[ABCEGHJ-NPRSTV-Z]{1}[ ]?[0-9]{1}[ABCEGHJ-NPRSTV-Z]{1}[0-9]{1}$

Source: http://reusablecode.blogspot.com/2008/08/isvalidpostalcode.html

Grab unclosed img tags

As you probably know, the xhtml standard requires all tags to be properly closed. This regular expression will search for unclosed img tags. It could be easily modified to grab any other unclosed html tags.

<img([^>]+)(\s*[^\/])>

Source: http://snipplr.com/view/6632/grab-any-unclosed-xhtml-img-tags/

Find all CSS attributes

This regexp will find CSS attributes, such as background:red; or padding-left:25px;.

\s(?[a-zA-Z-]+)\s[:]{1}\s*(?[a-zA-Z0-9\s.#]+)[;]{1}

Source: http://snipplr.com/view/17903/find-css-attributes/

Validate an IBAN

I have recently worked on a banking application and this one was definitely a life-saver. It will verify that the given IBAN is valid.

[a-zA-Z]{2}[0-9]{2}[a-zA-Z0-9]{4}[0-9]{7}([a-zA-Z0-9]?){0,16}

Source: http://snipplr.com/view/15322/iban-regex-all-ibans/

Validate a BIC code

Another one very useful for any banking application or website: This regexp will validate a BIC code.

([a-zA-Z]{4}[a-zA-Z]{2}[a-zA-Z0-9]{2}([a-zA-Z0-9]{3})?)

Source: http://snipplr.com/view/15320/bic-bank-identifier-code-regex/

Full-time Programmer

Full-time Programmer
Full-time, long-term, programmer and web designer needed.

Are you an enthusiastic, skilled and creative programmer and web designer? Do you love taking on new challenges and coming up with creative solutions to programming problems? Are you willing to work from home, yet be available to take part in team discussions by skype?

Then you might just be the new team member that we need.

We are a growing online company that is entirely virtual – that means that all our team members work from home. We currently have two full-time programmers and need to add a third and maybe a fourth.

We currently have an urgent need for a new project to be built. Once that is done, there will be plenty of ongoing work for you – from small tweaks to existing sites, to the creation of brand new sites and applications.

Essential Skills required include:

Excellent English skills. All communications with us will be in English, and all code should be well documented in English as well as using english names for variables.
Adobe AIR
PHP
HTML
Javascript & AJAX
CSS
MySQL
Familiarity with building and hacking WordPress plugins
graphic skills

Desirable Skills:

Internet Marketing
server maintenance (Linux )
familiarity with using SVN and TRAC
Flash
Java

The current task involves building an AIR desktop application that can interface with our online server and can visit other websites, present the captcha for the human user to solve, and submit to the other website’s onine web forms.

Since our heads of department are in British Columbia, Canada (Pacific time zone), we will need you to be available on skype during our normal work hours (give or take an hour or two at each end). This may mean that you are working nights in your time zone. This is essential, as otherwise communication is too difficult. We also expect you to NOT be working on other projects that might distract you from our work.

Pay is based on an hourly rate for a 40 hour week, plus we also offer profit sharing bonuses. And we will even pay you for upto an additional 5-hours per week of self-development time – you can use this time for any type of self-improvement: learning new skills or languages, improving your fitness, or enhancing your spirituality. All we ask is that you report to us with a weekly breakdown of your work and self-improvement activites.

You will be resonsible for your own taxes etc. In that respect you will be working as a contractor. However, all code or other intellectual property that you produce for us will be owned exclusively by us and will be resident on our servers.

If you are interested in a new challenge, please would to complete the following steps:

1. Send us a sample of PHP and javascript code that you have written as well as a resume of what you have done and what skill you have. Send us links to software, web designs, or writing you have created so we can see proof of your talents.
2. Create a short video cover letter. Record yourself speaking in a 3+ minute video and upload it to YouTube with the title Allegretto Cover Letter. Highlight your passions, motivations for applying, and your love for the internet. Tell us how your skills and expertise would contribute to this stellar team and convince us that you are the right person to join our team.
3. Give us a link to your video, and tell us your salary expectations.
4. As a final step, we will probably give you a very small AIR test project and will want to interview you by skype.

Any questions, please ask!
Please communicate through the PMB

Note: Please don’t worry about over-doing your video cover letter—the best cover letters we’ve seen were around 20 minutes. You don’t need special effects or any form of video editing (unless you choose to).

It is very important that the site look EXACTLY like the PSD. I have gone back and forth with the client so many times I am dizzy. I do not want the coding process to be anything like this. It’s final, the client has signed off on this design and so we move forward…

The requirements are as follows:
The index page has slideshow that automatically rotates pictures. The SSI text overlay must appear over slideshow.
There must be several word press “template pages” that the client can choose from when adding additional pages. I will attach screen shots of each page here on SL. If there are questions about functionality, please post them publicly so everyone can see.

Free Ticket to the jQuery Conference in San Francisco

Free Ticket to the jQuery Conference in San Francisco

On April 24-25, I’ll be attending the jQuery conference in San Francisco, and I hope many of you will as well! With speakers like John Resig, Steve Souders, Rey Bango, and other highly respected members from the jQuery team, it’s sure to be a fantastic event! Now, if you haven’t purchased your ticket just yet, the team has given me one ticket to give away for free.

“The San Francisco Bay Area conference is the second of four events planned by the jQuery Project in 2010. The first was the jQuery14 event, and additional conferences are being planned in Europe and on the East Coast for later this year.”

jQuery Conference

Hosted at Microsoft

“The San Francisco Bay Area conference will be held at the Microsoft Silicon Valley Research Center in Mountain View, California. This venue is the largest that the project has worked with to date (Harvard Law School in ’07, the MIT Stata Center in ’08 and Microsoft New England Research Center in ’09) and we expect to sell out very quickly.”

How to Enter

The winner will receive one complimentary ticket to attend the jQuery conference. He or she will still be responsible for accommodations, and/or travel expenses, per usual. If you’re in or near the Bay area of San Francisco, and would LOVE to attend, leave a comment of no more than three sentences telling us why.
If you aren’t selected to win the free ticket, admission is only $199, which is quite cheap when you consider the level of knowledge that you’ll gain as a result of attending. I’ll be attending, and will hope to see you there!

Python Script Test

Python Script Test
Hello,

I have uploaded a python search engine script that I had created in 2004. It is similar to the way Google News works.

Script installation:
http://www.globalwalk.ca/test6/indexbeta.php
http://www.globalwalk.ca/test6/scgi-bin/news-admin/index.cgi
http://globalwalk.ca/test6/scgi-bin/news-admin/admin.html

I would like for a Python expert to:

1.Look at the script, analyze it and see if it can work again.

2. If it is an easy installation or fix, go ahead or if it is a complicated repair please detail and itemize the repair for me so I can decide if it is worth the time.

Cheers,
Terry
