Need help with StringRegExpReplace

[Gleemax]

Hi.

I can't seem to get this to work. I've been reading the forums and testing stuff and I still don't understand why it doesn't work.

#include <FF.au3>
#include <trimmer.au3>

_FFStart("about:blank","default",1,False)
$dict=ClipGet()

;Removes spaces before and after the string.
$dict=_ALLTRIM($dict)

;Split the string into words.
$dict2=StringSplit($dict," ")

Do
    _FFOpenURL("http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/" & $dict2[$n],True)
    If _FFSearch("No results found for " & $dict2[$n]) Then
        If _FFSearch("Did you mean ") Then
                        ;Need to get their suggested word. (Did you mean suggestedword?)
                        ;Doesn't work here!
            $tempstring=StringRegExpReplace(_FFReadText(),'Did you mean \b([a-zA-Z]+)\b\?','\1')
            $dict2[$n]=$tempstring
        Else
            $dict2[$n]=""
        EndIf
    EndIf
    $n=$n+1
Until $n>=UBound($dict2)

;Do something here

_FFQuit()

Any help would be appreciated.

What is the initial string ans what should the string look like after RegExp? (I cannot run your script @work)

_FFReadText returns the entire webpage's text. I don't know if there's a more pratical/faster way to do it tho.

The final string should only be the suggested word, if there's any. Else it returns blank.

Regex pattern works just fine on my system. However, I cannot run your script since I don't have FF.au3.

You can read the suggested word with:

; ...
If _FFSearch("Did you mean ") Then
  $tempstring=_FFXPath("//div[@class='dym']//a")
  $dict2[$n]=$tempstring
Else
; ....
