I want to use regular expression in Notepad++ to find expressions as follows:
form1.subform[0].linestatus1.rawValue
or
form1.subform.linestatus1.rawValue
or, the general pattern is as follows (Adobe LiveCycle FormCalc expression):
element1.element2[index1].element3[index2].element4.element_n.propName
where the [index1] and [index2] are optional.
Also, the match should exclude the following (Adobe LiveCycle JavaScript expression):
xfa.resolveNode("form1.subform.linestatus1").rawValue xfa.resolveNode("form1.subform[0].linestatus1").rawValue
Or the general pattern is (must not match the following): xfa.resolveNode("element1.element2[index1].element3[index2].element4").propName
where propName could be any of the following fixed names: - rawValue - access - formattedValue ...etc.
The objective eventually is to be able to convert the the the from the first Syntax (FormCalc) to the second one (JavaScript) using find/replace.
Appreciate your help.
Note: so far, I was able to use this expression but not enough:
\b(?!xfa\.resolveNode\(\")([a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z0-9_]*(\[([0-9]+)\])?\.)*rawValue
EDIT: I think I found the solution but I am not sure why it is working. Check this:
(^|[\s(])(?!xfa\.resolveNode\(")(([a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9]*(\[[0-9]+\])?\.?)*)(\.rawValue)
and here is a working sample:
Appreciate it if someone could explain why it is working and if there is a better solution?
EDIT: Here is a simplified regx. The last one was crashing in certain cases due to complexity:
Find: (?:(^|[\s;(])(?!xfa\.resolveNode\(\".+\"\))((?:[a-zA-Z0-9_\.\[\]]*))(\.(?:rawValue|access|fillColor)))
Replace: \1xfa.resolveNode\("\2"\)\3
Check it here.
