StringRegExp pattern

[d0n]

i am trying to get a pattern

attachment.php?aid=787795&k=ed6f1934ea92a037f4bbd102b7c80db9&t=1259460253&fid=8&sid=37f8lAaodEqWbOSkKY5XoH4xt5BqvMruZfXtDM5Wp%2BekDUE

in this line

<a href="attachment.php?aid=787795&amp;k=ed6f1934ea92a037f4bbd102b7c80db9&amp;t=1259460253&amp;fid=8&amp;sid=37f8lAaodEqWbOSkKY5XoH4xt5BqvMruZfXtDM5Wp%2BekDUE"  onmouseover="showMenu(this.id,false,2)" id="aid787795" target="_blank" title="">Show Ch01.torrent</a> (17.98 KB)

I have this but it doesn't seem to be getting the stuff in the bracket

$Link = StringRegExp($HTML, '.*?<a href="(.*?)".*?Show Ch01.torrent</a>.*?', 1)

Theres a bunch of crap before and after it, but i am not sure what is wrong

Can you use _StringBetween? That would be much easier.

[Richard Robertson]

$Links = StringRegExp($HTML, '<a href="([^"]*)"[^>]*>Show Ch01.torrent</a>', 1)
$Link = $Links[0]

Try this. If the 0 index isn't right, try the 1 index ($Links[1] instead).

um because in the website's html, there is way more than 1 '<a href="' beginning of string to use _StringBetween

[d0n]

$Links = StringRegExp($HTML, '<a href="([^"]*)"[^>]*>Show Ch01.torrent</a>', 1)
$Link = $Links[0]

Try this. If the 0 index isn't right, try the 1 index ($Links[1] instead).

Tried that just now, @error returns 1

This works for me

$Link = StringRegExp($HTML, "(?i)<a\shref[\s=]+[\x22\x29](.+?)[\x22\x29]", 1)

[d0n]

can i ask what \x22\x29 is? do they equal " ?

because using this is giving me HTML codes from before this line

\x22 = double quote

\x29 = single quote

If you are getting other lines before that then we will have to see a bit more of the html code to get the right link unless there is something in that link that is specific and never changes.

This doesn't change

<a href="

onmouseover="showMenu(this.id,false,2)"

target="_blank" title="">Show

This doesn't change

<a href="

onmouseover="showMenu(this.id,false,2)"

target="_blank" title="">Show

Those are also most likely common to all the links on the page too so they won't help. Can you provide a link to the page you are trying to read?

sorry i think i forgot to mention that there is only 1 'Show Ch01.torrent' in the source of the site

that is why i tried something like this in the beginning but failed

$Link = StringRegExp($HTML, '.*?<a href="(.*?)".*?Show Ch01.torrent</a>.*?', 1)

"(?i)<a\shref[\s=]+[\x22\x29](.+?)[\x22\x29].+Show\s*Ch01\.torrent"

[GEOSoft]

Actually that last one should be

"(?i)<a\shref[\s=]+[\x22\x29]*(.+?)[\x22\x29\s].+Show Ch01.torrent"

[d0n]

that one returns @error = 1 :S

EDIT: nvm got it, had an extra space

thank you for the help

I just tested this and it works for me

$Link = StringRegExp($HTML, "(?i)<a\shref[\s=]+[\x22\x29]*(.+?)[\x22\x29\s].+Show\s*Ch01.torrent", 1)
