javascript - Learn about regular expressions? -

-

in answer 1 of questions, had posted:

// replace easier work delimiter str.replace(/(;)(?![";"])/g, '|')  // or split it, skip on results ; var strarr = str.split(/(;)(?![";"])/); (s in strarr) {     if (strarr[s] !== ";") {         // strarr[s]         console.log(strarr[s]);     } }

i'm lost @ /(;)(?![";"])/. looks bunch of random symbols me :( .

where can learn more regular expression syntax?

there various resources:

regarding actual expression, / characters mark beginning , end of regular expression literal (like quotes string, although ending / may followed flags), , then:

     +------------- 1      |+------------ 2      ||+----------- 3      ||| +--------- 4      ||| |      ||| |      ||| | +------- 5      ||| | | +----- 6      ||| | | | +--- 7      ||| | | | |+-- 8      |||/ \|/ \||     /(;)(?![";"])/
  1. ( starts capture group in case (because ( isn't followed ?, =, or ! change does)
  2. ; literal, matches semicolon
  3. ) ends capture group
  4. (?! starts "negative lookahead" overall expression matches if what's inside parentheses isn't found after semicolon
  5. [ begins character class, matches characters within it
  6. ";" characters within character class. (the second " redundant.) character class contains contains ; , ".
  7. ] ends character class
  8. ) ends negative lookahead started in #4

so in all, match (and capture) semicolon provided it's not followed quote or semicolon. can't see particular reason capturing semicolon, perhaps there reason in context of question recommended.

newbie here, i have single component picker set plist, each item being array, multiple strings in each array app uses. currently plist structure this: nsdictionary -> nsarray -> nsstring | | items in picker data each item but now, want: nsdictionary -> nsdictionary -> nsarray -> nsstring | | | different picker data sets items in picker data each item so there multiple sets of picker components show using segmented control etc... i'm not sure if possible, , hoping save me making many different separate picker controllers. what has me stumped getting ingested properly this have now, builds crashes (debug info below): nsbundle *bundle = [nsbundle mainbundle]; nsstring *plistpath = [bundle pathforresource:@"camerasdatabase" oftype:@"plist"]; nsdictionary *dictionary = [[nsdictionary alloc] initwithcontentsoffi...
