Python RegEx multiple groups -

-

i'm getting confused returning multiple groups in python. regex this:

lun_q = 'lun:\s*(\d+\s?)*'

and string is

s = '''lun:                     0 1 2 3 295 296 297 298'''`

i return matched object, , want @ groups, shows last number (258):

r.groups()   (u'298',)

why isn't returning groups of 0,1,2,3,4 etc.?

your regex contains single pair of parentheses (one capturing group), 1 group in match. if use repetition operator on capturing group (+ or *), group gets "overwritten" each time group repeated, meaning last match captured.

in example here, you're better off using .split(), in combination regex:

lun_q = 'lun:\s*(\d+(?:\s+\d+)*)' s = '''lun: 0 1 2 3 295 296 297 298'''  r = re.search(lun_q, s)  if r:     luns = r.group(1).split()      # optionally, convert luns strings integers     luns = [int(lun) lun in luns]

javascript - Enclosure Memory Copies -

function myclass() { //lots , lots of vars , code here. this.bar = function() { //do numerous enclosed myclass vars } this.foo = function() { alert('hello'); //don't enclosed variables. } } each instance of myclass gets own copy of bar , foo, why prototyped methods use less memory. however, know more memory use of inner methods. it seems obvious me (1) below must true. agree? not distinct myclass instances have own distinct copies of bar, must have own distinct copies of myclass enclosure. (or else how bar method keep myclass variables straight on per instance basis?) now (2) question i'm after. since inner foo method doesn't use in myclass enclosure natural qustion is: javascript smart enough not keep myclass enclosure in memory use of foo? this depend entirely on implementation not language. naive implementations keep far more around others. answer true e.g. v8 (chrome's js engine) may not true spider...

php - Replacing tags in braces, even nested tags, with regex -

-
example preg_replace('/\{[a-za-z.,\(\)0-9]+\}/', 'replaced', 'lorem ipsum dolor sit {tag1({tag2()})}, consectetur adipiscing elit.'); the result: lorem ipsum dolor sit {tag1(replaced)}, consectetur adipiscing elit. question as can see "tag2" has been replaced, want replace "tag1" know how can this? (in cases might this: {tag1({tag2({tag3()})})}) , on.) btw using preg_replace_callback, easier show preg_replace here site can test code: http://www.spaweditor.com/scripts/regex/index.php you need add curly braces character set. here's pattern used: /\{[a-za-z.,\(\)\{\}0-9]+\}/ and here result: "lorem ipsum dolor sit replaced, consectetur adipiscing elit."
