Keeping the last match of a StringRegExp


Recommended Posts

Hi, i am trying to transfert lines monitored from a chat to another chat using StringRegExp but i am kinda lost and did not manage to search what i was looking for.

The main problem is that i would like to only catch the last line said from the chat by user "themessager". Actualy the code will report all the lines themessager publiched on the chat each time i execute the script.

$Text=ControlGetText("[CLASS:ThunderRT6FormDC]","","[CLASSNN:RichTextWndClass4]")
$Value=StringSplit($Text,@CRLF)
For $i=1 To $Value[0]
    If StringRegExp($Value[$i],"themessager") Then
controlSend("[CLASS:ThunderRT6FormDC]", "", "Edit1", $Value[$i])   
        
    EndIf
Next

Thanks in advance.

Try starting from the end and if it matches the user name then exit loop. Take this as an example:

$Text="[jim] Hi boy" & @CRLF & _
"[themessager] Hi" & @CRLF & _
"[themessager] How are you doing today?" & @CRLF & _
"[jim] I'm doing fine" & @CRLF & _
"[themessager] this is my last line" & @CRLF & _
"[jim] ok"

$Value=StringSplit($Text,@CRLF)

For $i=$Value[0] To 1 Step -1
    If StringRegExp($Value[$i],"themessager") Then
    ;controlSend("[CLASS:ThunderRT6FormDC]", "", "Edit1", $Value[$i])
        ConsoleWrite($Value[$i] & @LF)
        ExitLoop
    EndIf
Next

Cheers,

Thanks sahsanu you solved my problem.

here's the correct script now :

It will get text of specified user (exemple user is named themessager there) from chat window then send the last line user posted to another window

$Text=ControlGetText("[CLASS:ThunderRT6FormDC]","","[CLASSNN:RichTextWndClass5]")
$Value=StringSplit($Text,@CRLF)
For $i=$Value[0] To 1 Step -1
 If StringRegExp($Value[$i],"themessager") Then
     ;Envoi des dialogues message dans le chat
controlSend("[CLASS:ThunderRT6FormDC]", "", "Edit1", $Value[$i] & @CRLF)   
        
        ExitLoop
    EndIf
Next

There is much a simpler way using a single regexp (without duplicating then splitting data):

Local $s =  "abc hoigzho fhoijg def" & @CRLF & _
            "fgh gzjpogerjkpo" & @CRLF & _
            "abc jogrjpher xyz jfgzjo" & @CRLF & _
            "def jiogrjohjpoh" & @CRLF & _
            "uvw jpgejpher def jiofgd" & @CRLF & _
            "def kopgrekpo" & @CRLF & _
            "xyz jipgrejphe" & @CRLF

Local $user = "def"
Local $text = StringRegExp($s, "(*CRLF)(?ms)^" & $user & "([^\n]*)$(?!.*^" & $user & ")", 1)
_ArrayDisplay($text, $user & " last said")

If you want to keep user name at front of it's phrase, remove the perenthesis and use

Local $text = StringRegExp($s, "(*CRLF)(?ms)^" & $user & "[^\n]*$(?!.*^" & $user & ")", 1)

Sorry I forgot to mention the include.

Many common includes get in automagically in my script testing template.
