Search For Two, Three And Four Letter Words

[Kev 69]

Hi all,

Wondering if you could help - I am looking to scan a page for any two, thee or four letter words on it that are upper case.

For example:

 

AB

ABC

ABCD

 

Would appreciate any suggestions on how I would accomplish this.

Thanks in advance,

Kev

Hey Kev,

alert($find regular expression("a
BA
The
Life
lives","\b[a-zA-Z]\{3\}\b"))

This gets a 3 letter word.
Be sure to hit the " button before you close the node!

 

\b[a-zA-Z]{3}\b

 

Change the three to whatever amount of characters,

 

Regards,

Nick

alert($Regex Words("a
BA
The
Life
lives", 5))
define $Regex Words(#TEXT, #CHARACTERS) {
    return($find regular expression(#TEXT,"\b[a-zA-Z]\{{#CHARACTERS}\}\b"))
}

Here is a function so you don't need to worry about the quotes all the time
