Stringbetween and regex problem

[Smigacznr1]

In code:

<a href="/watch?v=GcOAv1M3Kn8" >flower_trans_RGB_PAL</a>
  </div>

        <span class="vm-video-info">
                18 lipiec 2011, 02:24 (PDT)

            <span class="vm-separator">|</span>
                <div class="yt-uix-hovercard vm-inline">
        <span class="vm-video-desc yt-uix-hovercard-target">Uploaded with Free Video Converter from Freemake
http://www.fr...</span>
        <span class="yt-uix-hovercard-content">Uploaded with Free Video Converter from Freemake
http://www.freemake.com/free_video_converter/</span>
      </div>

        </span>
        <span class="vm-video-info">
        </span>
            <span class="vm-video-info">
      

      

      

        


      <span class="yt-uix-button-group"><button name="66447398811" onclick=";return false;" type="button" class="start vm-playlist-edit-video yt-uix-button yt-uix-button-short"  role="button" aria-pressed="false"><span class="yt-uix-button-content">Edytuj</span></button>

I need to find title (flower_trans_RGB_PAL). I have:

$tytul = _StringBetween($sHTML,'" >','</a>([?s]*)Uploaded with Free Video Converter')

and it's getting me empty string. I don't know why.

?s - all chars with new line

* - repeating

What's wrong?

You're confusing _StringBetween and StringRegExp!

Read help file again for these two functions.

Then your vision of regexp patterns is poetic at best and doesn't fit PCRE Regular Expression semantic.

Try:

$res = StringRegExp($html, ">([^<]*?)</a>", 3)

EDIT: right, the cut & paste went astray. Sorry

try it:

$ary = StringRegExp($sHTML,'<a href="/watch\?v=.*?" >(.*?)</a>',3)
for $i = 0 to UBound($ary) - 1
    msgbox(0, "RegExp", $ary[$i])
Next

try it:

$ary = StringRegExp($sHTML,'<a href="/watch\?v=.*?" >(.*?)</a>',3)
for $i = 0 to UBound($ary) - 1
    msgbox(0, "RegExp", $ary[$i])
Next

Don't work. No msgbox...

I'm lost now.

Could someone write this whole function?

I'm learning autoit for few days. I'm learning best on samples so I'll be grateful for whole function.

I have no idea how to do that. :/

This works on the example you gave:

$shtml = '  ...  whatever before  ...  <a href="/watch?v=GcOAv1M3Kn8" >flower_trans_RGB_PAL</a>  ...  whatever follows  ...  '
$ary = StringRegExp($sHTML, '<a href="/watch\?v=.*?" >(.*?)</a>', 3)
For $i = 0 To UBound($ary) - 1
    msgbox(0, "RegExp", $ary[$i])
Next

Now if your actual data departs from your example, then the pattern may have to be adjusted.

With your example I have no msgbox...

What I need exactly to do. I need to check if in HTML is description "Uploaded with Free Video Converter" if yes check what is name of video with above description and find name of button 'Edytuj' (html code I posted first on this topic).

And here is some difficult because we don't know leght of code between title of video and description and between description and name of button 'Edytuj'.

Only one constant string what we know always is part of description ('Uploaded with Free Video Converter').

That's why it's so hard for me. I'm trying to write something like this for first time and I stuck... :/

I already have:

Func zamykanie()
    if $success = True Then
        $oIE = _IECreate ("https://www.google.com/accounts/ServiceLogin?uilel=3&service=youtube&passive=true&continue=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fsignin%3Faction_handle_signin%3Dtrue%26nomobiletemp%3D1%26hl%3Dpl_PL%26next%3D%252F&hl=pl_PL&ltmpl=sso", 0, 1, 1, 0)
        Send("login{TAB}pass{ENTER}")
        _IELoadWait ($oIE)
        _IENavigate ($oIE, "http://www.youtube.com/my_videos?feature=mhee")
        _IELoadWait ($oIE)
        $sHTML = _IEBodyReadHTML ($oIE)

If StringInStr($sHTML,"Uploaded with Free Video Converter") Then

;something to do here

endif


EndFunc

I insist on being positive: with the untouched example the msgbox pops up.

So what's wrong here?

[jchd]

Your URL!

Add COM error function.
