Symfony AsciiSlugger remove first special character in a string - symfony

I have a question about the string component. I am trying to create a download link using HeaderUtils::makeDisposition. I wanted to remove all special characters from the filename using AsciiSlugger. Unfortunately, if such a character is in the first position, it is removed
If the name contains only special characters, the function returns an empty string.
$response->headers->set('Content-Disposition',
HeaderUtils::makeDisposition(
HeaderUtils::DISPOSITION_ATTACHMENT,
(new AsciiSlugger('de'))->slug('äffgößdfö')
)
);
And I expected, that from (new AsciiSlugger('de'))->slug('äffgößdfö') I become aeffgoessdfoe not ffgoessdfoe.
Does anyone know how to prevent this behaviour?

How to match a non-empty string

For a Token of a lexer, I want it to match a non-empty string (the string cannot contain space or new line character). The closest solution I managed to get is (~["\r","\n"," "])+. But I also want it not to contain \r\n. Is there any way to add the extra condition to my current solution?

How to remove up to a certain punctuation when there are same punctuations [duplicate]

I'm new at regular expressions and wonder how to phrase one that collects everything after the last /.
I'm extracting an ID used by Google's GData.
my example string is
http://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/spreadsheets/p1f3JYcCu_cb0i0JYuCu123
Where the ID is: p1f3JYcCu_cb0i0JYuCu123
Oh and I'm using PHP.
This matches at least one of (anything not a slash) followed by end of the string:
[^/]+$
Notes:
No parens because it doesn't need any groups - result goes into group 0 (the match itself).
Uses + (instead of *) so that if the last character is a slash it fails to match (rather than matching empty string).
But, most likely a faster and simpler solution is to use your language's built-in string list processing functionality - i.e. ListLast( Text , '/' ) or equivalent function.
For PHP, the closest function is strrchr which works like this:
strrchr( Text , '/' )
This includes the slash in the results - as per Teddy's comment below, you can remove the slash with substr:
substr( strrchr( Text, '/' ), 1 );
Generally:
/([^/]*)$
The data you want would then be the match of the first group.
Edit   Since you’re using PHP, you could also use strrchr that’s returning everything from the last occurence of a character in a string up to the end. Or you could use a combination of strrpos and substr, first find the position of the last occurence and then get the substring from that position up to the end. Or explode and array_pop, split the string at the / and get just the last part.
You can also get the "filename", or the last part, with the basename function.
<?php
$url = 'http://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/spreadsheets/p1f3JYcCu_cb0i0JYuCu123';
echo basename($url); // "p1f3JYcCu_cb0i0JYuCu123"
On my box I could just pass the full URL. It's possible you might need to strip off http:/ from the front.
Basename and dirname are great for moving through anything that looks like a unix filepath.
/^.*\/(.*)$/
^ = start of the row
.*\/ = greedy match to last occurance to / from start of the row
(.*) = group of everything that comes after the last occurance of /
you can also normal string split
$str = "http://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/spreadsheets/p1f3JYcCu_cb0i0JYuCu123";
$s = explode("/",$str);
print end($s);
This pattern will not capture the last slash in $0, and it won't match anything if there's no characters after the last slash.
/(?<=\/)([^\/]+)$/
Edit: but it requires lookbehind, not supported by ECMAScript (Javascript, Actionscript), Ruby or a few other flavors. If you are using one of those flavors, you can use:
/\/([^\/]+)$/
But it will capture the last slash in $0.
Not a PHP programmer, but strrpos seems a more promising place to start. Find the rightmost '/', and everything past that is what you are looking for. No regex used.
Find position of last occurrence of a char in a string
based on #Mark Rushakoff's answer the best solution for different cases:
<?php
$path = "http://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/spreadsheets/p1f3JYcCu_cb0i0JYuCu123?var1&var2#hash";
$vars =strrchr($path, "?"); // ?asd=qwe&stuff#hash
var_dump(preg_replace('/'. preg_quote($vars, '/') . '$/', '', basename($path))); // test.png
?>
Regular Expression to collect everything after the last /

Function argument converted to date

I have a function with an argument that is a link to a file. My problem is, that even though I specify that I want to have a string here, a part of it seems to be recognized as a date. This results in a part of my string being replaced by "t-". How do I prevent this from happening?
smfunc <- function(link=as.character("T:\11-10-2017 - Folder\filename.csv"))
{
link
}
smfunc()
[1] "T:\t-10-2017 - Folder\filename.csv"
How do I prevent this from happening?
Easy: this does not happen (that would be terrible). The problem is different: you forgot to escape the backslashes:
smfunc = function (link = "T:\\11-10-2017 - Folder\\filename.csv") {
link
}
Without the escaped backslashes, '\11' is interpreted as a numeric character code (with value 11oct = 9dec, which is equivalent to the tab character '\t').
'\f', by pure chance, is a valid escape sequence equivalent to the “form feed” character. This is not the same as '\\f', i.e. a literal backslash followed by an “f”, and which is what you need.
Using as.character, incidentally, is redundant here: your value is already a character vector.

When the url contains "e" it no longer matchs the requested route

More than a long talk to explain that bug, here's a screenshot that explains everything :
As soon as we enter an "e" inside the url which correspond to rss_category, it no longer match the route. See :
!
We resolved this by forcing a requirements for {slugCat} to accept anything .^ (they were no requirements before)
If that can help someone somday, and if anyone has a valid explanation, i'll be glad to hear (runing under Symfony 2.1.1).
Wow, difficult one. This happens because when compiling the route, symfony tries to use the character preceeding the variable name as a separator. This code is from RouteCompiler.php:
// Use the character preceding the variable as a separator
$separators = array($match[0][0][0]);
if ($pos !== $len) {
// Use the character following the variable as the separator when available
$separators[] = $pattern[$pos];
}
$regexp = sprintf('[^%s]+', preg_quote(implode('', array_unique($separators)), self::REGEX_DELIMITER));
Symfony does this because usually you will have some kind of separator before the variable name, a route like /upload/rssArticle/{slugCat}, where '/' would be the separator and it is trying to be helpful by letting you use this separator to separate variables in routes which contain several variables. In your case, the character before the variable is an 'e' and that character becomes a separator and that is why your route does not match. If your route had beed /upload/rssArticles{slugCat}, then the 's' would be the separator and that would be the character you would not be able to use.
Maybe you could create an issue on the symfony router component. I think that the preceeding character should not be used as a separator if it is a letter or a number.

asp.net regex help

Hi ive got this regular expression and that extracts numbers from a string
string.Join(null,System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Split(expr, "[^\\d]"));
so eg, the format of my string is like this strA:12, strB:14, strC:15
so the regex returns 121415
how can I modify the expression to return
12,14,15 instead, any suggestions please
You're calling String.Join, which joins an array of strings into a single string, separating each element by the separator parameter.
Since you're passing null as that parameter, it doesn't put anything between the strings.
You need to pass ", " instead of null to separate each string with ,.
