Regex Handling
Writing regular expressions for the Transparent Gateway and Payment Services
Overview
TokenEx's Transparent Gateway and Payment Services products utilize regular expressions for extracting merchant-specified data for tokenization and CVV association or generation of response parameters. These products handle regexes the same way: processing data returned by the regex's match or group[0]. Use the recommended tool of your choice below to build regexes for your application's use case.
To increase the specificity of a regex, utilize positive lookaheads and lookbehind operators. If attempting to use a positive lookahead that targets a key that is not a fixed length, consider chaining regexes with variations of that key via the | (or) operator.
Recommended Tools
- .Net Regex Tester - Regex Storm is the closest representation to how our platform processes regular expressions.
- Regexr: PCRE Engine is another favored tool, especially for sharing and troubleshooting.
