Regular Expressions which are needed in daily coding...

Introduction

Guys , we all know that regular expressions are very useful for checking any kind of patterns.

Background

So we have to know how to write regular expressions for our patterns. But don't worry here i will provide some but very useful regular expressions which will be useful for our coding.

Using the code

just copy and paste Regular Expression from here to your code.

//

// this are the regular expressions for all purposes...

//For checking opening and closing tab of specific HTML tags..

"regex"><TAG\b[^>]*>(.*?)</TAG>
//for any HTML tags starting and ending..

"regex"><([A-Z][A-Z0-9]*)\b[^>]*>(.*?)</\1>
//For deleting white spaces from text...

"regex">^[ \t]+|[ \t]+$
//For Checking IP address between 0..255...

"regex">\b(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)\."regex">(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9]
"regex">[0-9]?)\."regex">(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)\."regex">
"regex">(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)\b"regex">"regex">"regex"> 
//For floating point numbers with sign...

"regex">[-+]?[0-9]*\.?[0-9]+
//for floating point numbers with exponents...

"regex">[-+]?[0-9]*\.?[0-9]+([eE][-+]?[0-9]+)?"regex"> 
//For email validation...

"regex">^[A-Z0-9._%-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z]{2,4}$
