cuqa Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 (edited) Hello, I have this $string = "<br/>Villa 1 updated [ 2012/02/12 ]<br/>mizoli joined [ 2012/02/12 ]<br/>" I try to extract the usernames "Villa 1" and "mizoli" from this string with StringRegExp but I am doing something wrong. Local $temp = StringRegExp($string, '<br/>(.*)[s+](updated|joined)', 3) Problem here is, that I only receive 'mizoli' and 'joined' as results. I dont even need 'joined', but I think the () causes it to be extracted? However, what bugs me more is that I do not receive 'Villa 1' as result. Anyone can help me here? Thanks Edited February 12, 2012 by cuqa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
