regex with grep



The trick with using regex with grep is that no // slashes are needed, you simply quote the text and use regex controls.

ie: something like this would list everyline ending in exactly no

grep '^.* no$' sshd_config 

However, for the same task, this would be more helpful...

grep '^[^#].* no$' sshd_config

As it excludes the leading # (comment)

Javascript Form Validation

It's real simple. All you need to do is call a javascript function in a html  " onsubmit " in the form tag as a javascript return, like this       <form method="post" action="dosomething.php" onsubmit="return validateForm();"> If the code completes ok, the form is then sent to the page listed in "action" http://www.w3schools.com/js/js_form_validation.asp If the function specified in the onsubmit returns false, then the form is not sent to the page mentioned in action.
