StringReplace - From - XXXXXXX - To

[jWalker 1]

Hey guys.

i need a quick help in the Function StringReplace..

I have a String that contains several substrings.

every substring contains a number, which are the first 3 letters of the substring.

Then there are some more letters... and finally a " | "

I want to Replace the number until the " | "

So this:

"323)(XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX|"

becomes This:

""

Could anyone help?

Take a look at StringRegExpReplace, but I'm not into regular expressions, so sorry I can't give you an example.

I'm sure you can find a lot of regex ressources on the forum or the web.

$checkks = 'test\test?test*323)(XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX|"test&test|test/'
$REPL = StringRegExpReplace($checkks, '\d{3}.*?\|', '')
MsgBox(0, '', $REPL)

Code-Mega,

I dont get the "test"s and "?"s in your code...

And the real strings arent "XXXXXXXXXXXX"

it could be everything..

Replacing a known string is not what i asked

Or i just don't get what you want to tell me

#EDIT

Ah sorry, youre right!!!

Thank you!

Just try it out. It is variable. Change the XXXX with something eles.

The command looks into the given string for 3 numbers then after that all until a | appears and then replaces it with nothing.

If that is not what you wanted, then show me some examples of

before and after and then I can create the correct pattern for that.

So:

"\d{3}" = 3 Numbers...

".*?\" = Until "|" this comes

I got sth like this

$List = StringReplace( $List, "\"&$hSocket&".*?\|", "|" )

I have a variable... I need to cut the string from the var - until it reaches the |

So could you give me the explicit code please?
