Re: [WebDNA] How to NOT remove the dot via grep ...
This WebDNA talk-list message is from 2009
It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 103323
interpreted = N
texte = I have no time to try but this might: [^0-9.] The a single period should just be a period inside the brackets. Outside brackets it is a wildcard for any single character. One thing about that regex is that it will leave 9.9.9 alone. You may need a better regex if you think you can get all kinds of crazy input. The problem is largely that WebDNA uses an irregular regex engine. There is no support for + or ranges using {x,y} for example. Bill On Wed, Aug 19, 2009 at 8:12 AM, Kenneth Grome
