StringRegExp multiple returns

[ChrisO 0]

Hey all,

I'm trying to parse a html page using StringRegExp to pull out some names that are useful to me. The portion of the html is:

<select name='list_ck[]' size="10" multiple="multiple" style='width:250px'>
<option value='jsmith'>John Smith</option><option value='esmith'>Eddie Smith</option>    </select>

The number of names can be any where from 0 to 4 and I need to grab each one. Here's what I have so far:

$regexpResults = StringRegExp($dlPOc,"list_ck[^<]+(?:<option\svalue='\w+'>([^<]+)</option>)*\s",3)

Am I over-complicating this? It seems like what I have should work but it only returns the last name (Eddie Smith) in this case.

Thanks in advance.

Did you try looping through your array of results?

For $i=1 to Ubound($regexpResults)-1

msgbox(0,"",$regexpResults[$i])

Next

if that goesn't work try the flag 1 instad of flag 3?

[footswitch 1]

$html="<select name='list_ck[]' size=""10"" multiple=""multiple"" style='width:250px'>"&@CRLF& _
"<option value='jsmith'>John Smith</option><option value='esmith'>Eddie Smith</option>  </select>"
$array1=StringRegExp ($html, "(?s)(?i)<select name='list_ck(.+?)</select>",3)
    ; sets flag "(?s)", which means: "." matches any character including newline
    ; sets flag "(?i)", which means: case insensitive
If @error==1 Then ConsoleWrite("-> No matches for first RegExp!"&@CRLF)
_ArrayDisplay($array1)

; joins all the results in a single string:
$string=""
For $i=0 To UBound($array1)-1
    $string&=$array1[$i]
Next

$array2=StringRegExp ($string, "(?s)(?i)<option value='.+?'>(.+?)</option>",3)
If @error==1 Then ConsoleWrite("-> No matches for second RegExp!"&@CRLF)
_ArrayDisplay($array2)

EDIT: my browser is going nuts

Thanks both, as soon you pointed me towards using 2 passes with the regex, it became much simpler.

Problem solved
