Filter wrong characters from android package name using regex -
i want filter wrong characters string (and replace them empty string later). tried making own regex expression have not succeeded make working. need javascript support.
desired effect: com.12%example%.5a5pp
=> com.example.a5pp
(regex matches: [1,2,%,%,5]
).
you can find package name requirements here:
a full java-language-style package name android application. name should unique. name may contain uppercase or lowercase letters ('a' through 'z'), numbers, , underscores ('_'). however, individual package name parts may start letters.
i'm more familiar ruby myself, believe android apps written in java, , java can (?<)
look-behinds. on assumptions, regex match incorrect character:
/[^\w.]|(?<=^|\.)[^a-za-z]+/g
you can plug 'replace' method replace match empty string.
(regex 101 place find meaning of each component of regex.)
[update] javascript, doesn't support look-behinds, you'd have capture dot (if there one) in group able put back:
/[^\w.]|(^|\.)[^a-za-z]+/g
instead of empty string, replace '$1'
(which represents captured dot).
