replace string between text

[personant]

I'm new in autoit...

so how to replace string between fexp= and &algorithm to 907605

for an example :

before = fexp=1234,5678&algorithm

after = fexp=907605&algorithm

please help me...

$stringold="1234,5678&algorithm" 
$string=StringTrimLeft ($stringold,10) 
$stringnew="907605" & $string

[Shaarad]

hope it works

[Shaarad]

$input=inputbox("title","prompt")
$string=$input & "&algorithm"

This can be done too...

[personant]

$stringold="1234,5678&algorithm" 
$string=StringTrimLeft ($stringold,10) 
$stringnew="907605" & $string

the 1234,5678 is just an example.... the string between the text could be short or long, so the trim script would not work

[Shaarad]

yes....so what about the second script... ?

[personant]

yes....so what about the second script... ?

I want it to be automatic...

[Shaarad]

$original="1234,5678&algorithm"
$pos=stringinstr ($original,"&algorithm",0)
$replacment="907605"
$new=$replacment & stringtrimleft ($original,$pos-1)

[Shaarad]

does '&algorithm' always come at the end of the string ?? if yes, the above script can be used

[personant]

like I just said... the string between the text could be anything... so I need an universal script

[Shaarad]

$original="1234,5678&algorithm"
$pos=stringinstr ($original,"&algorithm",0)
$replacment="907605"
$new=$replacment & stringtrimleft ($original,$pos-1)

almost works as a universal script if you have '&algorithm' at the end...

just change $original to any other variable text with '&algorithm' at the end and $replacement with other number and it works as you required...

$before = "fexp=1234,5678&algorithm"
$replace_with = "907605"
$after = StringReplace(StringRegExpReplace($before, "(fexp=)(.*)(&algorithm)", "$1 " & $replace_with & "$3"), "= ", "=")
MsgBox(0, "Test", $after)

$after = StringReplace($before, StringMid($before, 6, StringInStr($before, "&algorithm") - 6), $replace_with)
MsgBox(0, "Test", $after)

I need to work hard on the StringRegExp and StringRegExpReplace...

[personant]

$before = "fexp=1234,5678&algorithm"
$replace_with = "907605"
$after = StringReplace(StringRegExpReplace($before, "(fexp=)(.*)(&algorithm)", "$1 " & $replace_with & "$3"), "= ", "=")
MsgBox(0, "Test", $after)

$after = StringReplace($before, StringMid($before, 6, StringInStr($before, "&algorithm") - 6), $replace_with)
MsgBox(0, "Test", $after)

Thanks UEZ for the script.. works like a charm

[sahsanu]

$after = StringReplace(StringRegExpReplace($before, "(fexp=)(.*)(&algorithm)", "$1 " & $replace_with & "$3"), "= ", "=")

Just a little modification to avoid the first StringReplace

$after = StringRegExpReplace($before,  "(fexp=)(.*)(&algorithm)", "${1}" & $replace_with & "$3")

@sahsanu: that's what I searched for ${1} and used the StringReplace as a workaround!

Thanks for it!
