  Re: Matrix Weapon Tech
 
(...) The (URL) Animatrix> is a good resource. The first Animatrix film, "Flight of the Osiris," has the hovership Osiris combatting Sentinels. They used machine gun turrets, similar to the laser turrets that Han & Luke use to shoot down TIE (...) (21 years ago, 30-Jul-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.off-topic.geek, FTX)
 
  Matrix Weapon Tech
 
To my knowledge all we've seen is the EMP used in the first movie. There was also the laser thing that Tank used on Cypher, but I don't know if that sort of thing could be mounted on the exterior of the ship. I don't own the first movie, so I might (...)

  Laptop batteries
 
I'm looking for somewhere to get a replacement battery for my Dell Inspiron 8100 laptop. If it were a perfect world, it would be here in the Chicago area and I could pick it up before I fly out of here on Saturday. But, I'm not holding my breath. (...)

  CD Burn help
 
Hi all, I was wondering if any of you knew how to burn a CD in the Kodak Picture CD format using Nero. I mean, I know i can burn pictures to a cd, but how do i get a dvd player to recognize it as a Kodak PCD? Do I have to alter pic size, bit depth, (...)

  Re: Regular Expression help?
 
(...) David, Thanks for this additional approach. I thought that I had tried something similar to this, but I must have gotten some portion of it wrong, as I could get no matches in my data. Thanks again, -Andy Lynch (21 years ago, 9-Jul-03, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Regular Expression help?
 
(...) Ah. I had my little O'Reilly Perl 5 pocket reference out and was playing with "zero-width positive/negative look-ahead/behind assertion"s before I began this thread, but since I haven't used them before I wasn't sure how they worked. In any (...) (21 years ago, 8-Jul-03, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Regular Expression help?
 
(...) Woops, yep (...) ? Wouldn't it not, since it matches on the double quote first? IE it would match alt="........." as a single dealy? I'll test.... Ran as a test: foreach( '<img src="foo.jpg">',# matches '<img border="" src="foo.jpg">',# no (...) (21 years ago, 8-Jul-03, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Regular Expression help?
 
(...) ^ missing "*" here --------/ (...) wouldn't this also break on this: <img src="1.jpg" alt="Some Text with Contrived B=something in it"> :) But other than that, good idea to look at what's valid :) (21 years ago, 8-Jul-03, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Regular Expression help?
 
(...) For *BORDER* tags, you're in luck: /<img(\s+[^bB]\w+=("...|\S*))*>/i But that is on the (valid?) presumption that the ONLY attribute for an <img> tag that starts with the letter "B" is "BORDER". I suppose I could be wrong what with all the (...) (21 years ago, 8-Jul-03, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Regular Expression help?
 
(...) doh, of course. However, unless your editor allows to do negative lookaheads, I don't think you can use a regexp to find a missing border tag. (...) hmmm. One way to do it would be to replace all the img tags that DO have the border attribute, (...) (21 years ago, 8-Jul-03, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Regular Expression help?
 
(...) I think this will only find img tags that have a border property, but I need to find img tags that are missing the border property. (...) Thanks for the kind offer. :-) I suspect once we can isolate the lines that are offensive that it will (...) (21 years ago, 8-Jul-03, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Regular Expression help?
 
(...) oh! well, seems that it has a similar syntax :) Anyway, the actual regexp here is: <img[^>]+border="[0-9]*" Hope that will help. By the way, if you need to edit hundreds of lines, using an automated process might save you hours and hours of (...) (21 years ago, 8-Jul-03, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Regular Expression help?
 
(...) Hmmm, actually I am using an html editor that allows extended searches using regular expressions, so I am somewhat limited by what that allows. I should have been more specific. (...) That looks like it would work nicely, but as I said above, (...) (21 years ago, 8-Jul-03, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Regular Expression help?
 
(...) I'm assuming you mean perl's regexps? (...) I should note that you probably will have more reliable code if you didn't use a regexp here, but instead parse the html with one of the HTML::* modules... but, regexp is more fun :) (...) how about (...)

  Regular Expression help?
 
Hello Regular Expression Geeks. I need a hand... Could anyone help me to build a regular expression for finding IMG tags in html files that do NOT have a "BORDER=" parameter? for example: <img src="foo.jpg"> matches <img border="" src="foo.jpg"> no (...)

(...) Maybe I should have said "added incentive." I was going to wait until the Road Show, but now after looking at the pictures, I don't know if I can wait that long. The last time I went to Discover, the NGLTC was incoveniently at Dawsonville. And (...) (21 years ago, 8-Jul-03, to lugnet.loc.us.ga, lugnet.off-topic.geek, FTX)
 
  Re: Rechargeable Batteries - with correct link :)
 
(...) Those would be known as "carbon-zinc" batteries. We tend to name our battery types based on what chemicals are used to store/provide power. I'm not sure you can even buy them in the standard letter-graded battery types anymore. Certainly not (...) (21 years ago, 5-Jul-03, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Rechargeable Batteries - with correct link :)
 
(...) My primary reason for using them is that they're less expensive than non-rechargables in the long run, and my secondary reason is that I never have to walk out the door with half-depleted batteries. My reason for using them over Ni-Cads is the (...) (21 years ago, 5-Jul-03, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
