sahsanu Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 I search how to find a string in a regread function. Do you have some example?. Anyway, maybe this example could help to you: $var = RegRead("HKLM\SOFTWARE\AutoIt v3\AutoIt", "Version") ;First read the content of the value name $stringToSearch = "3.3" ;Search what you need $result = StringRegExp($var,$stringToSearch) ;Here we check if our pattern ($stringToSearch) exists If $result = 1 Then MsgBox(0,"","I've found the string " & $stringToSearch & " on the following text: " & $var) Else MsgBox(0,"","Sorry but I didn't find the string " & $stringToSearch & " on the following text: " & $var) EndIf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GEOSoft Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 (edited) Do you have some example?.

Technically it's incorrect although when searching that particular key it will work. EDIT: You can easily fix the problem with this added line $stringToSearch = "3.3" ;Search what you need $stringToSearch = StringRegExpReplace($stringToSearch, "([.?\\\[\]\(\)\{\}^])", "\\$1");; Escape special characters, I may have missed some though Edited May 16, 2010 by GEOSoft George Question about decompiling code?

sahsanu Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 You got lucky on that RegExp. Technically it's incorrect although when searching that particular key it will work.You are right, it was just a quick example but thanks for show us the right way. Anyway, I'm going to start learning PCRE (I've already downloaded your PCRE Toolkit to practice hehe) because I always get stuck trying to figure out what's the best RegEx to accomplish the goal ;-).Thank you again (for the answer and for your toolkit).sahsanu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you again (for the answer and for your toolkit). sahsanu Glad to hear you are trying the toolkit, although you should remember it still beta. I have another update ready now but it won't be uploaded until tomorrow. Edit. It also could be done quite simple by using $result = StringRegExp($var,"\Q" & $stringToSearch & "\E") Edited May 17, 2010 by GEOSoft George Question about decompiling code?
