Realm 18 Posted May 27, 2010 (edited) I have been playing with this for 4 hours now, so sorry to bug over something that is probably minor. I'm pulling this text off a website via _IEBodyReadText, there is much more text, but this is a clip as it appears, of the area i need the string from Who would you like to help? name1, name2, Name3, 4name, 5name, NaME6, na7me LostinTranslation What I need is: name1, name2, Name3, 4name, 5name, NaME6, na7me This is my StringRegExp, as I thought it would work, but noob as I am, I'm hoping the problem is here: $rhelpers = StringRegExp($rText, 'help?(.*[A-z0-9\,]?)LostInTranslation', 1, 1) Thanks ahead of time for any help! edit: $rText is the string pulled from _IEBodyReadText Edited May 28, 2010 by Realm My Contributions: Unix Timestamp: Calculate Unix time, or seconds since Epoch, accounting for your local timezone and daylight savings time.

UEZ 1,273 Posted May 27, 2010 If the text above name1, name2, ... is everytime the same you can try this: $String = "Who would you like to help?" & @CRLF & _ "name1, name2, Name3, 4name, 5name, NaME6, na7me" & @CRLF & @CRLF & _ "LostinTranslation" $aRegExp = StringRegExp($String, "Who would you like to help\?\r\n(.*)\r\n*.", 1) If IsArray($aRegExp) Then ConsoleWrite($aRegExp[0] & @CRLF) BR, UEZ Please don't send me any personal message and ask for support!

GEOSoft 67 Posted May 27, 2010 Lets make this multiple choice; #include<array.au3> $aRegExp = StringRegExp($String, "(\w+?)(?:,|\z|\v)+", 3) If NOT @Error Then GUICtrlSetData($hSomeComboBox, _ArrayToString($aRegExp)) EndIf GeorgeQuestion about decompiling code?

Realm 18 Posted May 27, 2010 Thanks to both of your suggestions. @UEZ, your example did not work for some reason, don't know if there is not a cursor return after 'help?' or what it had an error on, I also tried something similar earlier with fail. @GEOSoft, Your example did work, however it pulled a bunch of other arrays from the text as well, some I don't understand why, like the links at the bottom of the web page, they are not delemited by commas like the names are. So is there a way to just obtain the text from between 'help? (pull names) LostInTranslation' as a solid string, than I could split the string into arrays later?

sahsanu 28 Posted May 27, 2010 It is a dirty code but it works for me #include <array.au3> $String = "Who would you like to help?" & @CRLF & _ "name1, name2, Name3, 4name, 5name, NaME6, na7me" & @CRLF & @CRLF & _ "LostinTranslation" $aRegExp = StringRegExpReplace($String, "(.*[\r\n]{1,})(.*,.*[\r\n]{1,})(.*)", "$2") $aRegExp = StringRegExp($aRegExp, "(\w+)[,|\s]",3) _ArrayDisplay($aRegExp) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GEOSoft 67 Posted May 27, 2010 (edited) $sStr = StringRegExpReplace(FileRead("Somefile.txt"), "(?i)(?s).*Who would you like to help\?\v+(.+?)\v+lostintranslation.*", "$1") If thi returns the proper string then you can probably just stringspli on the commas to get the array or continue using the SRE I gave you earlier.

Realm 18 Posted May 28, 2010 You guys all Rock!!! So many examples, most are great! sorry I did not see most of them before coming to a final solution! @JohnOne, Thanks StringBetween was exactly what I needed, though I had a few minor obstacles like spaces before each name, and a few Carriage Returns, but with a little work and now it delivers exactly what I need, Thanks again to everyone and the help, even though I may not have used some of your examples, I sure have gained some well needed knowledge from them. I have been trying to avoid using StringRegExp for so long because it has been very confusing to me, but today your examples have enlightened me on some uses and how they work. Thanks again! ...and before I go, this is what I finally ended up with: $rText = "Who would you like to help?" & @CRLF & _ "name1, name2, Name3, 4name, 5name, NaME6, na7me" & @CRLF & @CRLF & _ "LostinTranslation" $rArray=_StringBetween($rText, 'help?' & @crlf, @crlf & @crlf & 'LostinTranslation') $rhelpers=StringSplit(StringReplace($rArray[0], " ", ""), ",") _ArrayDisplay($rhelpers, 'Default Search') My Contributions: Unix Timestamp: Calculate Unix time, or seconds since Epoch, accounting for your local timezone and daylight savings time.
