strip out letters from a string

[gcue]

hello.

i am trying to do this using stringregexp but don't understand why only 1 character returns in the array

#include <array.au3>

$string = "AbC12D22"

$string = StringUpper($string)
$new = StringRegExp($string, "[A-Z]", 1)

_ArrayDisplay($new)

Because you set the flag to 1 - use 3 but also change search pattern to "(?i)[a-z]".

ahhh.. nice! which there was an option to return a string instead of an array.. hassle to go through that array to string conversion

You have to invers the search pattern:

#include <array.au3>

$string = "AbC12D22"

$string = StringUpper($string)
$new = StringRegExp($string, "(?i)[a-z]", 3)
_ArrayDisplay($new)
$snew = StringRegExpReplace($string, "(?i)[\d]", "$1")
ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') : $snew = ' & $snew & @crlf & '>Error code: ' & @error & @crlf) ;### Debug Console

Strip letters or numbers from string?

$string = "AbC12D22"

$new = StringRegExpReplace($string, "[0-9]", "")   ; Reslts in $new = "AbCD"
MsgBox(0,"Result",$New) ;

$new = StringRegExpReplace($string, "[^0-9]", "") ; Reslts in $new = "1222"
MsgBox(0,"Result",$New) ;
