I’m very new at regex. I’m trying to match any word that starts with ‘#’ in a string that contains no newlines (content was already split at newlines).

Example (not working):

var string = "#iPhone should be able to compl#te and #delete items"
var matches = string.match(/(?=[s*#])w+/g)
// Want matches to contain [ 'iPhone', 'delete' ]

I am trying to match any instance of ‘#’, and grab the thing right after it, so long as there is at least one letter, number, or symbol following it. A space or a newline should end the match. The ‘#’ should either start the string or be preceded by spaces.

This PHP solution seems good, but it uses a look backwards type of functionality that I don’t know if JS regex has: regexp keep/match any word that starts with a certain character


var re = /(?:^|W)#(w+)(?!w)/g, match, matches = [];
while (match = re.exec(s)) {
  matches.push(match[1]);
}

Check this demo.

Is there more than one field in the form?

Jump to Post

//simulate posted field
$_POST['formfield']='Is #star contained in your #database of #hashtags?';

preg_match_all('/#w+/',$_POST['formfield'],$matches);

if($matches[0]) {
    foreach($matches[0] as $hashtag) {
        $sql = "select hashtag from `hashtag-table` where hashtag = '".substr($hashtag,1)."'";
        $result = mysql_query($sql);
        echo mysql_num_rows($result) ? $hashtag.' found<br>' : $hashtag.' not found<br>';
    }
}

Sorry everyone it’s mysql …

Hi paulkd

I will be using this to process several different forms that a user would potentially be submitting.
In one form (the status update), it would be the only field, but there are other forms that that may have a few additional fields (however, if it matters, in those forms, I may be able to simply autofill the values with things like session variables).

and are the hashtags in your database in a single column?

e.g. hashtags varchar(200) NOT NULL

so the sql would be something like:-

select count(hashtag) from hashtags where hashtag = $thisHashTag

Yep, that is correct.
The result of the query
select count(hashtag) from hashtags where hashtag = $thisHashTag

would result in ‘1’

or if the query were
select hashtag from hashtags where hashtag = $thisHashTag

the result would be #ExampleHashTag

Sorry everyone it’s mysql — been using CI query builder recently so haven’t gotten around to the mysqli syntax, or even PDO.

paulkd, that worked beautifully!

Just in case this helps anyone else in the future who may read this, and it doesn’t work for you —

The only modification to paulkd’s script above that was needed (other than providing your database table, of course), was to replace the substr($hashtag,1) part with simply $hashtag
The reason for that is because in my database, the hashtags are stored with the hash symbol (#) included in the data fields. (paulkd’s script removes the hashtag before querying the database. So instead of searching for ‘#example’, it would search for ‘example’ … your database setup may differ from mine, so try both if one method doesnt work for you)

Thank you very much for your time and help, paulkd!

This post will guide you how to extract a word that starts with a specific character in excel.

Table of Contents

  • Extract word that starting with a specific character
    • Related Formulas
    • Related Functions

For example, Assuming that you have a text string that contains email address in Cell B1, and if you want to extract word that begins with a specific character “@” sign, you can use a combination with the TRIM function, the LEFT function, the SUBSTITUTE function, the MID function, the FIND function, the LEN function and the REPT function to create an excel formula as follows:

=TRIM(LEFT(SUBSTITUTE(MID(B1, FIND("@",B1), LEN(B1))," ",REPT(" ",LEN(B1))),LEN(B1)))

Let’s see how this formula works:

=LEN(B1)

The LEN function returns the number of characters in a text string in Cell B1. The returned result goes into the MID function as its num_chars argument.

= FIND(“@”,B1)

extracts word begins specific character1

The FIND function returns the position of the first specific character “@” sign in Cell B1. It returns 9. It goes into the MID function as its start_num argument.

=MID(B1, FIND(“@”,B1), LEN(B1))

extracts word begins specific character2

The MID function extracts a substring at the starting position (returned by the FIND function) and num_chars value (returned by LEN function)

=REPT(” “,LEN(B1))

This formula repeats empty string a specified number of times returned by the LEN function. It will go into the SUBSTITUTE function as its new_text argument.

= SUBSTITUTE(MID(B1, FIND(“@”,B1), LEN(B1)),” “,REPT(” “,LEN(B1)))

extracts word begins specific character3

The SUBSTITUTE function will replace all empty string with another new text string returned by the REPT function from a text string returned by the MID function.  Then the returned value goes into the LEFT function as its Text argument.

= LEFT(SUBSTITUTE(MID(B1, FIND(“@”,B1), LEN(B1)),” “,REPT(” “,LEN(B1))),LEN(B1))

extracts word begins specific character3

The LEFT function extracts a specified number of the characters from a text string returned by the SUBSTITUTE function, starting from the leftmost character and the num_chars value is equal to the length of the string in Cell B1.

=TRIM()

extracts word begins specific character5

The TRIM function removes all spaces from text string returned by the LEFT function, just leave one space between words.
