StringRegExpReplace. Problem with cutting out founded

[Suppir]

Hello!

I have the code:

for $i = 0 to UBound($Search) - 1

$Text = StringRegExpReplace($Text, $Search[$i][0], $Search[$i][1])

Next

$Search[$i][0] - is a regular exression to search

$Search[$i][0] - is a text to replace founded

How to cut out the founded if my $Search[$i][1] defined but equals "nothing"? (not assigned any value)

In this situation replace does not work.

Try

$Text = StringRegExpReplace($Text, $Search[$i][0], "'" & $Search[$i][1] & "'")

[Suppir]

Try

$Text = StringRegExpReplace($Text, $Search[$i][0], "'" & $Search[$i][1] & "'")

In this situation script prints many many quotes '

Maybe

If $Search[$i][1] = "" Then 
    $Text = StringRegExpReplace($Text, $Search[$i][0], '')
Else
    $Text = StringRegExpReplace($Text, $Search[$i][0], $Search[$i][1])
EndIf

Maybe

If $Search[$i][1] = "" Then 
    $Text = StringRegExpReplace($Text, $Search[$i][0], '')
Else
    $Text = StringRegExpReplace($Text, $Search[$i][0], $Search[$i][1])
EndIf

I've try it before but it does not work too. In this situation replace does not work at all. Edited December 8, 2009 by Suppir

Local $sRes
Local $sText = " The cat sat on the mat."
Local $aSearch[4][2] = [["cat", "dog"],["the", "a"],["mat", "rug"],["sat ", ""]]

$sRes = $sText & @CRLF

For $i = 0 To UBound($aSearch) - 1
    $sText = StringRegExpReplace($sText, $aSearch[$i][0], $aSearch[$i][1])
    $sRes &= $sText & @CRLF
Next

MsgBox(0, "StringRegExpReplace", $sRes)
;ConsoleWrite($sRes & @CRLF)

The expected results obtained from this example is:-

The cat sat on the mat.

The dog sat on the mat.

The dog sat on a mat.

The dog sat on a rug.

The dog on a rug.

Note - The default, case-sensitivity, is working. eg. Match on "the" but no match on "The"

I hope this example helps you realize why your script is not performing as you expect.
