Re: [WebDNA] ONLY the FIRST continuous run of numeric chars?

This WebDNA talk-list message is from

2008


It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 101226
interpreted = N
texte = [text show=F]myString=1155 Bluebridge, apt.#2[/text] [grep search=[^0-9]*([0-9][0-9]*).*&replace=\1][myString][/grep] The above works in the situation you've described, namely the first number of 1 or more digits returned and nothing else. I'm not sure why you wanted the other text for back reference. To the question below, WebDNA regex does not handle one or more, i.e. +, the way you'd expect. The workaround is to repeat the reference.
