StringRegExpReplace

[ttleser]

Having trouble extracting the time from a string. Here's an example of the string at a certain point in the progress:

[ 73% ] Applying progress: 11:31 mins remaining

I want to be able to extract the time from that line (11:31 in this case) and populate a GUI label with it as it's changing. I've been trying to figure out how to make a regular expression that works, but nothing is getting just the time itself. I'd like to be able to get the time if it's HH:MM:SS. Ideally I'd like to grab the "mins" or secs" text afterwards too.

Can someone help me with the correct expression?

Sample code so far:

$fLine = "[  73% ] Applying progress: 11:31 mins remaining"
$fPercentage = StringRegExpReplace($fLine,"^.*\[\s*(\d+)%\s*\].*$","$1"); This gets the percentage just fine.
$fTimeRemaining = StringRegExpReplace($fLine,"^.*\[\s*(\d+)%\s*\].*$","$1:$2"); This isn't getting me the time (which could be HH:MM:SS)
msgbox(0,"Time Remaining",$fTimeRemaining)

$sLine = "[ 73% ] Applying progress: 11:31 mins remaining"
$sTime = StringRegExpReplace($sLine, "(?m:^).+?:\h([\d:]+)\h.+", "$1")

This should do:

$fLine = "[  73% ] Applying progress: 11:31 mins remaining"
$fPercentage = StringRegExpReplace($fLine,"^.*\[\s*(\d+)%\s*\].*$","$1"); This gets the percentage just fine.
$fTimeRemaining = StringRegExpReplace($fLine,"^.*?(\d+:)?(\d+:\d+).*$","$1$2"); This isn't getting me the time (which could be HH:MM:SS)
msgbox(0,"Time Remaining",$fTimeRemaining)

Thanks guys, that definately gets me the time. How about getting the remaining text too, as in "mins remaining"?

$sLine = "[ 73% ] Applying progress: 11:31 mins remaining"
$sTime = StringRegExpReplace($sLine, "(?m:^).+?:\h([\d:]+\h.+)", "$1")

#include <Array.au3>

$fLine = "[  73% ] Applying progress: 11:31 mins remaining"
$aPieces = StringRegExp($fLine, "\[\s*(\d+)%\s*\]\s*\b([^:]*):\s*((?:\d+:)?(?:\d+:\d+))\s*(.*)", 1)
_ArrayDisplay($aPieces)

Thanks GeoSoft. That works great.
