regex to find instance of a word or phrase -- except if that word or phrase is in braces -


First of all, a disclaimer. I know something about Reggae but I am not an expert. They look like something that I really need twice a year, so they do not stay "up" of my brain.

Status: I want to write a regex to match a certain word, let's call it "ostrich". easy. Except ostriches can sometimes appear inside a curly brace. If this is inside a curly brace then this is not a match. The trick here is that there may be spaces within curly braces. Apart from this, the text is usually inside the paragraph. I

This should match: I have an ostrich.

It should not match: went to my emu {ostrich race name}. <

It should be a match: went to my ostrich (ostriches race name).

This should not be a match: went to my emu {race ostrich place} went to my emu {race place ostrich}.

It seems that it is possible with a regex, but I'm not sure to see it.

I will provide an alternative solution to do that, which is slightly stronger (not using regex Make a claim)).

First of all, remove all code, such as {[^}] +} (change it to change to an empty string).

Now you can search for ostrich (using regex or simple string matching, according to your requirements).

sql - dynamically varied number of conditions in the 'where' statement using LINQ -

I am using my first project LINQ (in mvc), so maybe there's something very simple that I remember. However, a day of searching and experimenting does not work, so it works. I am trying to write a LINQ query (Linux to SQL) in which in many cases where the statement is different from an OR or an AND. We do not know how many conditions are going in the query till runtime. This search is for filter control, where the user can choose multiple criteria for filtering. Select from table where table.col = 1 or table.col = 2 or table.col = 7 .... 'Other number of conditions Before I just create the SQL query as a string, while looping over all the situations. However, it seems that there should be a good way to do this in LINQ. I tried to use Expression trees, but they had a second thought for this moment on my head, where the lambda function was to be executed inside the statement such as: values ​​for matchingRows = matchingRows for each value Where (function (row) row.c...

asp.net mvc - Dynamically Generated Ajax.BeginForm -

I have a problem with ASP.NET MVC Ajax forms. I generate many Ajax form in a table such as: & Lt; Input type = "submit" name = "activity" value = "add activity" / & gt; & Lt;%}% & gt; & Lt; / TD & gt; & Lt; / TR & gt; & Lt;%}% & gt; So far so good. When I post one of those forms, it gives a partial view in a div, and in this new partial view a new Ajax Beginnform (which is not in Genesis form) This second Ajax Beginnorf is exactly like the ones I got on the table, but when I post it, I do not get the "Ajax Post", but a normal post that sends me to a new page, I do not know whether the two Ajax forms What is the reason for the difference between, why is it the "dynamically generated" Ajax form behaves like a normal HTML form? By the way, I know that I can do it in different ways using javascript, but I would like to understand whether it can only be done using MVC helplars and Ajax lib...
