ตรวจสอบพยัญชนะต้นตัวสะกดสระและวรรณยุกต์ไทย

Flavor·ECMAScript (JavaScript)
ตรวจสอบพยัญชนะต้น (ต้องมี) ตรวจตัวสะกดสำหรับสระที่ต้องมี ตรวจสอบการวางสระและวรรณยุกต์ไทย หมายเหตุ การตรวจสอบตัวสะกดในภาษาไทยตรวจสอบได้ยากเพราะภาษาไทยเป็นภาษาที่เขียนติด ๆ กันไม่มีการแบ่งคำอย่างชัดเจนทำให้การอ่านภาษาไทยผู้อ่านต้องใช้ความหมายของคำในการตัดสินการอ่านแบ่งคำตามความเหมาะสมเช่นคำว่า "ตากลม" อาจอ่านเป็น "ตาก-ลม" ก็ได้ หรืออ่านเป็น "ตา-กลม"ก็ได้ ดังนั้นการเขียน Regex เพื่อทำการตรวจสอบอาจช่วยได้ระดับหนึ่ง อ่าจมีผิดบ้างถูกบ้าง แต่ก็ถือว่าเป็นเครื่องมือที่ใช้ช่วยเหลือในการตรวจสอบเพิ่มเติมได้ 80% ของความเป็นไปใด้ก็แล้วกันนะครับ หวังว่าการเขียนเพิ่มเติมส่วนนี้ จะมีประโยชน์บ้างไม่มากก็น้อย

Secure Email Validation (OWASP-Aligned & DNS-Strict) (RFC 5322)

Created·2026-01-21 16:32
Updated·2026-01-21 16:36
Flavor·ECMAScript (JavaScript)
This regular expression provides a balance between RFC compliance and security-best-practices. It is designed to prevent injection vectors in legacy systems by using a restricted "safe" character subset recommended by the OWASP Validation Regex Repository. Pattern: ^A-Za-z0-9(?:\.A-Za-z0-9_+&-]+)*@(?:[A-Za-z0-9{0,61}[A-Za-z0-9])?\.)+[A-Za-z]{2,63}$ Key Features: Forced Alphanumeric Start: Prevents leading hyphens to avoid command injection vulnerabilities. Security Subset: Restricts special characters to _+&*- to prevent exotic character injections (e.g., pipes or backticks). No Quoted Strings: Forbids quoted strings to eliminate dangerous payloads containing spaces or backslashes. DNS Compliance: Enforces label lengths (1–63 characters) and prevents labels from starting or ending with hyphens. Whole String Anchoring: Uses ^ and $ to ensure the entire input is validated.

Flavor·Python
This is a Python RE for matching different parts and combinations of various docker/container image references, as compatible with docker pull etc. Parts / Capture Groups image: # whole image repo: # everything but the tag/digest registry: # host+port host: port: name: # path within registry reference: # tag or digest (with : or @; I haven't bothered to figure out how to strip that yet) tag: digest: If it matches, it should match image, repo, and name at the very least.
