StringRegExp woes


Recommended Posts

I've made a RegExp string in RegExpQuickTester and it works fine, but as soon as I put that string with StringRegExp, it sets @error to 1.

I want to get the number "1" that's listed between <td nowrap="nowrap" align="center"> and </td><td>

One of the challenge is that the web page is formatted strangely, following the 'align="center">' is 1 carriage return, and 4 TABs.

After the number and before the number, there are 4 TABs.

Here is the code:

#include <array.au3>

$string ="<TD noWrap align=middle>1 </TD><TD noWrap align=middle>1 </TD><TD noWrap align=middle>1 </TD>"

$number = StringRegExp($string, '(?i)</td><td nowrap="nowrap" align="center">(?:\s+)(\d*)(?:\s+)</td><td>', 3)

Why does it work in the regexptester but not while using autoit??

Thanks.

Have you tried _StringBetween()?

Edit: I know this was a stupid question, the answer is technically in your OP! But if you don't ask you'll never know.

PowerCat.

If we look at your original string (before you edited it) you were looking for the wrong type of quote - which is why you got no matches. If you use the correct form of quote then you get all the values:

#include <array.au3>

$string = "<a class='linkAction' onclick='__doPostBack('@@@@@Edit', '772')'>AdobeFlash Player-10.0.12.36-Corp-EN</a>            " & _
        "</td><td nowrap='nowrap' align='center'>                1           </td><td>Superseded</td><td align='left'>               <a class='linkAction' onclick='__doPostBack('@@@@@Edit', '952')'>AdobeFlash Player-10.0.22.87-Corp-EN</a>           " & _
        "</td><td nowrap='nowrap' align='center'>                1           </td><td>Superseded</td><td align='left'>               <a class='linkAction' onclick='__doPostBack('@@@@@Edit', '1209')'>AdobeFlash Player-10.0.32.18-Corp-EN</a>          " & _
        "</td><td nowrap='nowrap' align='center'>                1           </td><td>Retired</td><td align='left'>              <a class='linkAction' onclick='__doPostBack('@@@@@Edit', '1356')'>AdobeFlash Player-10.0.42.34-Corp-EN</a>          " & _
        "</td><td nowrap='nowrap' align='center'>                1           </td><td>Retired</td><td align='left'>"

$number = StringRegExp(StringStripWS($string, 8), "(?U)'center'>(.*)</td><td>", 3)

_ArrayDisplay($number)

You were using " in the pattern where the string used '. :>

As for the current post - why should it work? The pattern does not appear in the string at all! :unsure:
