Well the plan is to use the power of regular expressions engine of AutoIT for patching binary data. Something like this: StringRegExp( $BinaryData, "(?s)\x55\x8B.." <cut> ... Okay straight to question/problem ... certain bytes that are in the range from 0x80 to 0xA0 won't match. Hmm seem to be a char encoding problem. In detail these are 27 chars: 0x80, 0x82~8C, 0x8E, 0x91~9C, 0x9E,0x9F Here's a small code snippet to explore / explain this problem: #include "StringConstants.au3" $TestData = BinaryToString("0x7E7F808182") ;Okay $match = StringRegExp( $TestData ,'\x7E' ,$STR_REGEXPARRAYFULLMATCH) ConsoleWrite('@extended = ' & @extended & ' $match = ' & $match & @CRLF) ;Okay $match = StringRegExp( $TestData ,'\x7F' ,$STR_REGEXPARRAYFULLMATCH) ConsoleWrite('@extended = ' & @extended & ' $match = ' & $match & @CRLF) ;Error no match $match = StringRegExp( $TestData ,'\x80' ,$STR_REGEXPARRAYFULLMATCH) ConsoleWrite('@extended = ' & @extended & ' $match = ' & $match & @CRLF) ;Okay $match = StringRegExp( $TestData ,'\x81' ,$STR_REGEXPARRAYFULLMATCH) ConsoleWrite('@extended = ' & @extended & ' $match = ' & $match & @CRLF) ;Error no match $match = StringRegExp( $TestData ,'\x82' ,$STR_REGEXPARRAYFULLMATCH) ConsoleWrite('@extended = ' & @extended & ' $match = ' & $match & @CRLF) ;~ output: ;~ @extended = 2 $match = ;~ @extended = 3 $match = ;~ @extended = 0 $match = 1 ;~ @extended = 5 $match = ;~ @extended = 0 $match = 1 Hmm what to do? Go back and use the 'numberstring monster' implementation or just omit that range of 'unsafe bytes'. What is the root of this problem? Any idea how to fix this? Update: Okay I know a byte is not a character. But StringRegExp operates on String and so character level. Okay as long as you stay at Ansi encoding and only use /x00 - /X7F in the search pattern using StringRegExp works well to search for binary data. What bytes can be matched that are in the range from /X7F - /xFF is also depending on the code page. So this avoid to search for bytes in the range from 0x80-0xa0 only applies to Germany. I just change this country setting: to Thai and now near all bytes from /X7F - /xFF fails to match.

i am trying to get number from string using this code : #include <IE.au3> $oIE = _IEAttach ("Edu.corner") Local $aName = "Student name & Code:", $iaName = "0" Local $oTds = _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE, "td") For $oTd In $oTds If $oTd.InnerText = $aName Then $iaName = $oTd.NextElementSibling.InnerText $iGet = StringRegExpReplace($iaName, "\D", "") EndIf Next MsgBox(0, "", $iGet) it was get number like 52503058 But, I want to get only student code 5250. (Different student have different code, sometime its 3 digits, Sometime 4)

Is there a way to output the regex matches into a file? I have a script to compare two files and check for regex matches. I want to output the matching regex of 'testexample.txt' to another file. #include <MsgBoxConstants.au3> #include <Array.au3> $Read = FileReadToArray("C:\Users\admin\Documents\testexample.txt") $Dictionary = FileReadToArray("C:\Users\admin\Documents\example.txt") For $p = 0 To UBound($Dictionary) - 1 Step 1 $pattern = $Dictionary[$p] For $i = 0 To UBound($Read) - 1 Step 1 $regex = $Read[$i] If StringRegExp($regex, $pattern, 0) Then MsgBox(0, "ResultsPass", "The string is in the file, highlighted strings: " ) Else MsgBox(0, "ResultsFail", "The string isn't in the file.") EndIf Next Next

So I have this pattern: ^(?:(\d+)|(\d+):(\d+)|(\d+):(\d+):(\d+))$ And I'm expecting (depending on input) to get a 1, 2 or 3 index array (or @error for invalid input). But instead I get this: #include <Debug.au3> Func Test($String) _DebugArrayDisplay(StringRegExp($String, '^(?:(\d+)|(\d+):(\d+)|(\d+):(\d+):(\d+))$', 1)) EndFunc Test('10') ; Results (normal, expected): ; Row 0|10 Test('10:20') ; Results (extra blank index): ; Row 0| ; Row 1|10 ; Row 2|20 Test('10:20:30') ; Results (three blank indices): ; Row 0| ; Row 1| ; Row 2| ; Row 3|10 ; Row 4|20 ; Row 5|30 Is this normal? Should I just code around it, or is there a better way to do what I'm looking for? I also tried reversing my regex, but it was even uglier results: #include <Debug.au3> Func Test($String) _DebugArrayDisplay(StringRegExp($String, '^(?:(\d+):(\d+):(\d+))|(\d+):(\d+)|(\d+)$', 1)) EndFunc Test('10') ; Results (yuck): ; Row 0| ; Row 1| ; Row 2| ; Row 3| ; Row 4| ; Row 5|10 Test('10:20') ; Results (slightly better): ; Row 0| ; Row 1| ; Row 2| ; Row 3|10 ; Row 4|20 Test('10:20:30') ; Results (nice): ; Row 0|10 ; Row 1|20 ; Row 2|30

Hi, I want to add any needed conditions to the StringRegExp command so it can pull out only "File.au3", "WinAPIFiles.au3", "Test.bmp" into the array #include <FileConstants.au3> #include <MsgBoxConstants.au3> #include 'WinAPIFiles.au3' #include "File.au3" ; Script Start - Add your code below here Local $bFileInstall = False ; Change to True and ammend the file paths accordingly. ; This will install the file C:\Test.bmp to the script location.

i have a text : <Name>Jonh</Name>.<Age>15</Age> how i can get Jonh and 15 in one stringregexp? pls give me example

I'm looking for a regex genius, cus I'm stumped when it comes to assertions. So what I have now, is this regular expression: ([^|=]+)=([^|]+) It takes a string (user input) of keys=values separated by pipes (ie: "param=value|param=value") and splits them into an array. Example: $vParamData = 'example=value|fruit=apple|phrase=Hello world' $aRegEx = StringRegExp($vParamData, '([^|=]+)=([^|]+)', 3) ; Result ; [0] => example ; [1] => value ; [2] => fruit ; [3] => apple ; [4] => phrase ; [5] => Hello world So that's working fine, but I'm wondering if there's also a way I could have this capture escaped pipes instead of splitting by them. ie: $vParamData = 'pipe test=this \| is a pipe|example=value' $aRegEx = StringRegExp($vParamData, '([^|=]+)=([^|]+)', 3) ; I'm getting this: ; [0] => pipe test ; [1] => this \ ; [2] => example ; [3] => value ; But I'd like a result like this: ; [0] => pipe test ; [1] => this \| is a pipe ; [2] => example ; [3] => value Is there some pattern that would accomplish this, or am I better off parsing it some other way?

Hello, I have spent the past day fooling with StringRegExp to no avail attempting to get what would be a simple solution to an issue using StringRegExp. I will post the code in a sec. The string 'Java x Update y' where x and y are numeric values ONLY if a letter is mixed in anywhere then it should fail. I have been able to successfully deal with the x value so if x = 1234 or a1234 or 1a234 or 1234a would result in a fail if 'a' was in the string. However, when y = 1a234 then I get an output of 1 and when y = 1234a then the output = 1234 when both should fail. I am probably overlooking something simple and in looking through all the material and experimenting I am unable to figure it out and my experience with stringregexp and trying to find examples of this proved difficult. If someone could assist or point me to a thread ? Here is my code ; prob a simple fix. I am also trying to avoid white spaces. Thanks in advance #include <array.au3> $aArray = StringRegExp('Java 3009 Update 1a21', '(?i)Java (\d+) Update (\d+)', $STR_REGEXPARRAYGLOBALMATCH) If @error Then Exit _ArrayDisplay($aArray)

Does anyone know how to split a string using multiple delimiters, returning both the values and delimiters withing the Array using StringRegExp? For example: ;~ Split on " Not ", " And ", " Or " $sString = ' Not $a = 1 And $b = 2 Or $b = 3' $aArray = StringRegExp($sString,...) ;~ Returned Results $aArray[0] = '$a = 1' $aArray[1] = 'And' $aArray[2] = '$b = 2' $aArray[3] = 'Or' $aArray[4] = '$b = 3' At the moment I'm using Local $aArray1 = StringRegExp($sString, '(?i) Or | And | Not ', 3) Creating a new array using string split and then joining the two arrays together again Local $aArray1 = StringSplit(StringRegExpReplace($sString, '(?i) Or | And | Not ', '******'), '******', 3) Unfortunately regular expression isn't my forte.

Hi guys I hope you can help me out with this one. I have a text file "test.txt" which could contain something like this: __________________________________________________________ fiw eqw sdg xcv __________________________________________________________ Each string has it's own line. I use this script to find a string in the text file. In this example, the string I am looking for is "iw". The string "fiw" makes it believe that "iw" is found in the file. How can I avoid this? I want it only to return EXACT results. $string = "iw" $File = FileOpen("test.txt", 0) $ReadFile = FileRead($File) FileClose($File) If StringRegExp(StringLower($ReadFile), StringLower($string)) Then MsgBox(0,"",$string & " is found in the file") Exit Else MsgBox(0,"",$string & " is not found in the file") Exit EndIf

Hello altogether, yes I already noticed the StringRegExp AutoIt reference and the very good german tutorial of SEuBo, but nevertheless I would be pleased to get a tip. I have strings like this: 'repair car "do it your self" check' or ' repair car toyota'. There could be none, one or more words in quotation marks. It could be also that no expression is set in quotation marks (-->" "). The words of the string vary. I would like to generate an array like [repair, car, do it your self, check] or [repair, car, toyota]. Expressions in quotation marks (" ") should not be splitted. Probably I could use string split and similar methods to combine the words in quotation marks afterwards. But that's not the way I'd like to do it. I already got this reg-exp to extract just the complete expressions in quotation marks (" ") to seperate these from the rest of the terms: Local $aExtract4 = StringRegExp($sTest4, '.*?"(.*?)".*?',3) Moreover I found this reg-exp to work similar to StringSplit with a " " as a delimiter. This would probably a solution if I didn't like to keep the terms in quotations marks together.... : Local $aExtract8 = StringRegExp($sTest4, '(.+?(?:\s|\z))',3) Nevertheless I failed to find a single reg-exp that is able to met both conditions. I am convincend that it is possible to design a single reg-exp that met both conditions! I already tried different scenarios with operators like or |, the conditional (?(?= ) clause and the use of assertion (Lookahead / -behind) but without success. I would appreciate a hint from an "reg-exp expert" if it's able to solve my problem with a single reg-exp and / or to give me some hints how to do that. Many thanks in advance. Auto42

Hello, As always, sorry for my bad english. here is the code i have #include <File.au3> #include <String.au3> $file1 = "d:\doppioniautoit\international.txt" FileOpen($file1, 0) $file2 = "d:\doppioniautoit\standard.txt" FileOpen($file2, 0) For $i = 1 to _FileCountLines($file1) $line = FileReadLine($file1, $i) $aExtract = _StringBetween($line, "(", ")") ;MsgBox(0, $line, $aExtract[0]) $itime = TimerInit() For $x = 1 to _FileCountLines($file2) $line2 = FileReadLine($file2, $x) Local $iPosition = StringInStr($line2, $aExtract[0], 1) ;Local $iPosition = StringRegExp($line2,$aExtract[0], 0) if $iPosition <> 0 then ;MsgBox(0, "Trovato", $aExtract & " " & $line2) endif ConsoleWrite($line2 & @CRLF) Next ConsoleWrite(@TAB&'Str='&TimerDiff($itime)&' ms'&@lf) MsgBox(0, "TIME", @TAB&'Str='&TimerDiff($itime)&' ms'&@lf) Next FileClose($file1)So, what do i want to do? I try to explain with my poor english Basically, i have 2 text files (see attachments below). They both contains movie titles with Director and Year in this form Movie Title (Director, Year) "Standard.txt" contains, mostly, italian titles. "International.txt", as you can image, contains the internationals one. With the script i would like to search for the Director, Year of "international.txt" in the "standard.txt" file. For example... first row of "international.txt" is "¡Atraco! (Cortés, 2012)". The script takes just the "Cortés, 2012" and it searches for it in the standard. txt file. The simple code i wrote works... I tried using StringInStr and using StringRegExp.. they both need about 2 minutes and 30 seconds (stringinstr is little faster) to process one row. I was wondering... is there any other method to make it faster using autoit? Any help would be much appreciated, thx! standard.txt international.txt

BackRef UDF Working This UDF is made to provide a small interface towards the StringRegExpReplace Autoit function. The extension is very limited but is an easy approach when used properly. Functions User can pass the complete back-reference to a function.The return value from the function is then used to replace the specific group.The final replacement is flexible and the user has full control over it.The final replacement is done automatically till modification isn't required.The optimization is easy and simple.LimitationsThe pattern has to consume the full string.Example Replace the vowels with their ASCII code #include <BackRef.au3> $i_BackRef_Debug = True ;Set Debug to true ; ..

This is my Regular Expression: <tr>.*(\n|\n.*\n)^<td>.*\n^<td>.*\d{1,2}\sJune\s2014.[\S\s]*?\n</tr> or <tr>.*(\n|\n.*\n)^<td>.*\n^<td>.*\d{1,2}\sMay\s2014.[\S\s]*?\n</tr> HTML CODE: </tr><tr><td><a onclick="s_objectID=&quot;http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6296_1&quot;;return this.s_oc?this.s_oc(e):true" href="http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6296">OS X Mavericks 10.9.4 and Security Update 2014-003</a></td> <td>OS X Lion v10.7.5, OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.5, OS X Mavericks 10.9 to 10.9.3</td> <td>30 June 2014</td> </tr><tr><td><a onclick="s_objectID=&quot;http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6293_1&quot;;return this.s_oc?this.s_oc(e):true" href="http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6293">Safari 6.1.5 and Safari 7.0.5</a></td> <td>OS X Lion v10.7.5, OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.5, OS X Mavericks v10.9.3</td> <td>30 June 2014</td> </tr><tr><td><p><a onclick="s_objectID=&quot;http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6254_1&quot;;return this.s_oc?this.s_oc(e):true" href="http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6254">Safari 6.1.4 and Safari 7.0.4</a></p> </td> <td>OS X Lion v10.7.5, OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.5, OS X Mavericks v10.9.3</td> <td><p>21 May 2014</p> </td> </tr><tr><td><p><a onclick="s_objectID=&quot;http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6248_1&quot;;return this.s_oc?this.s_oc(e):true" href="http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6248">OS X Server 3.1.2</a></p> </td> <td>OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 or later</td> <td><p>20 May 2014</p> </td> </tr><tr>This matches html with tags like <tr> , new lines \n as in Line Feed, digits \d, spaces \s, literal strings like "June" and any character .[\S\s]*? between zero and unlimited times.

Ok so im trying to use ffmpeg to get the Dshow devices available Here is what i have so far #include <AutoItConstants.au3> #include <MsgBoxConstants.au3> Global $sFolder = @ScriptDir & "\www\videos" Global $FFmpegDir = @ScriptDir & "\www\bin\" $sCommands = "FFmpeg -list_devices true -f dshow -i dummy" $iPID = Run("cmd /c " & $sCommands, $FFmpegDir , @SW_Hide , $stderr_child + $stdout_child) $sOutput = "" While 1 $sOutput &= StderrRead($iPID) If @error Then ; Exit the loop if the process closes or StderrRead returns an error. ExitLoop EndIf WEnd ;ConsoleWrite($sOutput & @CRLF) Local $iPosition = StringInStr($sOutput, "[dshow") Local $sString = StringTrimLeft($sOutput, $iPosition -1) Local $iPosition2 = StringInStr($sString, "dummy: Immediate exit requested") Local $iLength = StringLen($sString) Local $CutRight = $iLength - $iPosition2 Local $dStrings = StringTrimRight($sString, $CutRight + 1) ConsoleWrite($dStrings & @CRLF) this is what i get back: [dshow @ 02b85e40] DirectShow video devices [dshow @ 02b85e40] "CyberLink Webcam Splitter" [dshow @ 02b85e40] "USB Video Device" [dshow @ 02b85e40] "IP Camera [JPEG/MJPEG]" [dshow @ 02b85e40] "DroidCam" [dshow @ 02b85e40] DirectShow audio devices [dshow @ 02b85e40] "USB Audio Device" [dshow @ 02b85e40] "Realtek HD Audio Input" all i really want is the devices split up can come back as an array so i can put into a combo box for each of the below 1.) DirectShow video devices 2.) DirectShow audio devices each machine i am assuming will have different than this "[dshow @ 02b85e40]" so not a 100 % sure i could/should just do another "StringTrimLeft" just in case its more letters/numbers. heck i prob didn't need what i had done as it is... sure there is an easier way Thank you for your help
