Searching for a substring with Apostrophes


Go to solution Solved by Melba23,

Hi,

 I guess it is a simple one...

 I need to find a substring (which is in a variable) within another string.

 The substring has " in it.

 For example: L"A for Los Angeles. US"A = United State of America.

 So I need to find the L"A or US"A.

 (I do not know if it correct in english, but it is correct in my language, and anyhow - it is just an example for you to understand what I mean.)

Thanks!

dushkin,

How about this?

#include <Array.au3>

$sString = 'blah blah L"A blah blah US"A blah blah'

$aRet = StringRegExp($sString, '\s([[:alpha:]]*"[[:alpha:]]*)\s', 3)

_ArrayDisplay($aRet, "Found", Default, 8)
SRE decode:

\s                            = Start with a space
([[:alpha:]]*"[[:alpha:]]*)   = Capture (letters)"(letters)
\s                            = until the next space

3                             = create an array of matches
Any use? :)
