Need some Guidance on RegEx

This grabs the first two dates without the - :

\b\d{2}\s[a-zA-Z]+\s?,\s\d{4}\b

and this grabs the secnd two dates, always without  - :

\b[a-zA-Z]+\s\d{2},\s\d{4}\b

i want to grab the both with - sign, how will that be a combination

Regards

This for the first:

\b\d{2}\s[a-zA-Z]+\s?,\s\d{4}\s-\s\d{2}\s[a-zA-Z]+\s?,\s\d{4}\b

and this for the second:

\b[a-zA-Z]+\s\d{2},\s\d{4}\s-\s[a-zA-Z]+\s\d{2},\s\d{4}\b

Thanks Budy, if you can help more how can i find a string of a link and email address from a string

the following string like

This is the world and i am now testing with the following string. The String is http://www.domain.com/classess/dataformat/anythingbeyon and let us see where we get this. This is the email address of the following, robert junior <a@a.com>

both should be found differently

Hi for url i have this:

(((f|ht){1}tp://)[-a-zA-Z0-9@:%_\+.~##?&//=]+)

i used ## two times as coldfusion will escape one when it gets compiled, but this has a limitation as it checks for http, what if i have https:, ftp or neitehr ftp http or https

please guide

The regex I provided above works with all protocols: why don't you use it?

Anyway, you can modify your regex this way:

 (((f|ht){1}tp(s)?://)[-a-zA-Z0-9@:%_\+.~##?&//=]+)

Thanks Pal

Glad to help you! On to the next.
