Åmbrosius Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Okay, last beg for help for a while I promise. Having finally got my script searching for files, I need to exclude a few I don't want to process. The function so far uses StringRegExp to decide whether to include the file in the array or not, with the pattern of "(?i)\A(?!.*?[.]db$|.*?[.]ini$|.*?[.]log$)" which might be wrong, but seems to work on excluding .ini, .db and .log, so I might have actually got it right. Depending on options I may also want to skip files with *(M).inf,*(U).inf, and *(V).inf. A simple "\(M\)" pattern seems to work alone, but not added to the original pattern. So could one of you please beat it into one search pattern for me? Or am I going to have to rewrite the function to do multiple checks? Which I really don't want to do. My brain simply doesn't understand StringRegExp and it's friends, so I'm hoping it's painfully simple for one of you more capable folks like everything else I mange to get stuck on. Thanks in advance to whoever comes to my rescue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 (edited) Try "^.*(\.(ini|db|log)|\((M|U|V)\)\.inf)$"I'm not sure exactly what you want though, but I recommend GeoSofts PCRE Toolkit (available in his signature) for testing this sort of stuff.Edit: Just to explain:^ .* ( \. ( ini | db | log ) | \( ( M | U | V ) \) \.inf ) $so it matches up to either:a dot followed by ( 'ini' or 'db' or 'log' )An opening bracket followed by an ('M' or 'U' or 'V') and then a ').inf' Edited October 18, 2010 by Mat AutoIt Project Listing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
