JohnOne 1,603 Posted September 17, 2010 (edited) After over a year I still cannot get my head around them I have a page source<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> blah blah blah <input type="hidden" name="string" value="93822769a03496d9c7e283c6761eaa789996f7b3"> blah bla bla </head>I'm after everything in the source except that string value, infact even everything except that whole String/tag (whatever it is) <input type="hidden" name="string" value="93822769a03496d9c7eaa789996f7b3"> would suffice.The value can vary from time to time (which is why I want shut of it) else I could side step regexp with usual string functions.I'd appreciate any help if someone has the time and inclination to create a pattern for me.EDIT: that is the only line in the source like it, I mean no other '<input type="hidden"' but there are other input types Edited September 17, 2010 by JohnOne AutoIt Absolute Beginners Require a serial Pause Script Video Tutorials by Morthawt ipify Monkey's are, like, natures humans.

GEOSoft 67 Posted September 17, 2010 (edited) Freebie of the day. Use an SREReplace to get it. $sStr = StringRegExpReplace($sStr, "(?s)(?i)^(.+)(?:<input.+?name=\x22string.+?>)(.+)$", "$1$2") EDIT: It appears someone else has faster fingers and he's also correct.
