javascript - Regex to match begining of string with set endings or not -


looking regex match whatever @ beginning of string minus 1 of following set endings:

_a _b _c _zz

so example:

1. blah         needs match blah 2. blah_a       needs match blah 3. blahblah_a   needs match blahblah 4. blah_d       needs match blah_d 5. blah_z       needs match blah_z 6. blah_zz      needs match blah 7. blah_ablah   needs match blah_ablah

unsuccessful attemps have tried are:

.*(?=(_(a|b|c|zz)))   did not match 1,4,5, , 7 correctly  .*([^(_a$)]|[^(_b$)]|[^(_c$)]|[^(_zz$)])   did not match correctly

regex vesrion used javascript

anyone got ideas?

the problem .* can consume entire string (and will). simplest fix make repetition ungreedy , require end of string after optional _ endings:

.*?(?=(_(a|b|c|zz))?$)

this way .* won't consume ending characters if should excluded.

working demo.

as minor optimisation, avoid capturing group (if don't need it) , use character class, single-character endings:

.*?(?=(?:_(?:[abc]|zz))?$)

c# - Send Image in Json : 400 Bad request -

from android trying send image class of data, iis webservice. (c#) the problem 400 bad request . the image being encoded base64 . , placed json rest of class elements. my guess base64 not valid inside json. server not understand it. if set string "" , post accepted fine. so question is, how make base64 valid within json array? ( tried url.encode no success). or how should send image android webservice? gson gson = new gson(); string json = gson.tojson(record); // record has param { string base64photo } how big image? i'm pretty sure surpassing iis json size limit (default 4 mb). check http://geekswithblogs.net/frankw/archive/2008/08/05/how-to-configure-maxjsonlength-in-asp.net-ajax-applications.aspx or http://www.webtrenches.com/post.cfm/iis7-file-upload-size-limits good luck!
