stringregexp help

[stratosgr]

hey, i have a log file with multiple lines like :

2010.2.1 9:34:46 - 10.0.11.47 http://www.google.com GET 9143 -20 1 200 text/html Default -

2010.1.31 15:43:34 - 10.0.11.46 http://download.windowsupdate.com/v9/blah/blah/bla01200122.cab GET 20742 0 1 200 - Default -

2010.2.1 9:33:56 - 10.0.11.47 http://login.live.com/ppcrlcheck.srf GET 63 0 1 200 text/html Default -

how can i grab only the urls?

I used this line " StringRegExp($str, '(http://.*?/)', 3) " and worked fine with urls ending with a '/'.

The problem is where urls ending with space and not a slash.. any suggestions?

Like this:

#include <Array.au3>

$sInput = "2010.2.1 9:34:46 - 10.0.11.47 http://www.google.com GET 9143 -20 1 200 text/html Default -" & @CRLF & _
"2010.1.31 15:43:34 - 10.0.11.46 http://download.windowsupdate.com/v9/blah/blah/bla01200122.cab GET 20742 0 1 200 - Default -" & @CRLF & _
"2010.2.1 9:33:56 - 10.0.11.47 http://login.live.com/ppcrlcheck.srf GET 63 0 1 200 text/html Default -"

$aOutput = StringRegExp($sInput, "(http://.+)(?: GET )", 3)
If IsArray($aOutput) Then _ArrayDisplay($aOutput, "$aOutput")

thnx for your quick reply psaltyds..

I also tried this and didnt work for me. Those lines was just an example. The actual file might have asterisks, questionmarks and other symbols after the url. Also some lines end with a simple 'space'...

Can you modify the statment to stop at 'space' ?

[PsaltyDS]

This is a smarter pattern anyway: "(http://\S+)"

Note that's a capital S (any non-whitespace).

[Mison]

"http://[a-zA-Z0-9./-]+"

[PsaltyDS]

"http://[a-zA-Z0-9./-]+"

That pattern would leave out other valid punctuation that might appear in a URL, like underscore or ampersand.

[Mison]

Erm, you're right. \S by far is the best pattern, the only flaw is that it includes non white space invalid char.

Just so you know, spaces are valid in URLs.

thaaaaank you ppl !! really appreciate your replies.

\S does the trick really nice

Another question.. can i only stop on first white space OR first '/' ???

Im only interested in the the url for example : www.google.com/ and not www.google.com/search..blahblahblah

No more spoon feeding - you're too old for the high chair.

This has gone on long enough for you to put some effort into learning it. Read the help file under StringRegExp(), write a short demo script and try some changes to the pattern.
