RegEx help


Recommended Posts

hi,

i need to find in html source the selected value from this

<select id="uiViewDownTime" name="down_time_value" onchange="" size="1">
<option value="15" >15 Minuten</option>

<option value="30" selected="selected">30 Minuten</option>
<option value="45" >45 Minuten</option>
<option value="60" >60 Minuten</option>
<option value="90" >90 Minuten</option>
<option value="120" > 2 Stunden</option>
<option value="180" > 3 Stunden</option>
<option value="240" > 4 Stunden</option>

<option value="300" > 5 Stunden</option>
<option value="360" > 6 Stunden</option>
<option value="480" > 8 Stunden</option>
<option value="600" >10 Stunden</option>
<option value="720" >12 Stunden</option>
<option value="900" >15 Stunden</option>
<option value="1080" >18 Stunden</option>

<option value="1260" >21 Stunden</option>

</select>

I have this php code which does the trick,

preg_match('@name="down_time_value".*?<option value="(\d+)"[^>]+?selected.*?</select>@s', $output, $matches);

but i can not get it working in autoit with StringRegExp.

Can some RegExp professional please help me out (and if possible even explain it, so i can learn a bit:-))

Thanks in advance!

Allow2010,

Certainly not a "RegExp professional", but this works for me: :oops:

$sHTML = '<select id="uiViewDownTime" name="down_time_value" onchange="" size="1">' & @CRLF & _
            '<option value="15" >15 Minuten</option>' & @CRLF & _
            '' & @CRLF & _
            '<option value="30" selected="selected">30 Minuten</option>' & @CRLF & _
            '<option value="45" >45 Minuten</option>' & @CRLF & _
            '<option value="60" >60 Minuten</option>' & @CRLF & _
            '<option value="90" >90 Minuten</option>' & @CRLF & _
            '<option value="120" > 2 Stunden</option>' & @CRLF & _
            '<option value="180" > 3 Stunden</option>' & @CRLF & _
            '<option value="240" > 4 Stunden</option>' & @CRLF & _
            '' & @CRLF & _
            '<option value="300" > 5 Stunden</option>' & @CRLF & _
            '<option value="360" > 6 Stunden</option>' & @CRLF & _
            '<option value="480" > 8 Stunden</option>'

$aRet = StringRegExp($sHTML, '(d+)"ssel', 3)

MsgBox(0, "Result", $aRet[0])

Translation:

(d+)   - Capture a string of digits
"ssel  - followed by a double quote, a space, and the string "sel"

3       - Return an array of what was found

Thank you for your help....

it work fine, but i should have mentioned that the above html is only part of a bigger html page and there may be other lines that contain "selected"

thats why there is a bit more regex vodoo in the original line:-)

Quite so - then I would not have wasted my time posting the above :oops:

change m23s expression to use the flag 4 instead of 3 and see if that gives you what you want. it should be a php compatable array of arrays.

Using the toolkit in my signature should allow you to load the page on the 'load web page' as html and test it in there. just make sure you select the 4 flag. you could even run a couple of tests using each of the flags to get used to how they work in pcre.

tip; since the help file was never finished, hover over any of the controls and look at the status bar to see what they do.

I got all my regex working fine so far, but the one above still drives me mad...

Can anyone tell me what the @ at he beginning and the "@s" in this regex means? I beleive it is something only valid in php...

preg_match('@name="down_time_value".*?<option value="(d+)"[^>]+?selected.*?</select>@s', $output, $matches);

Help please, i did a lot of reading, just can't find out this one:-)

Lookup a php tutorial. My wild guess is that @name and @s are variable interpolation (get replaced by variables values at runtime. But I've been proved wild-guessing wrong before, so have your salt handy.

you will probably have more luck looking for that symbol in a php manual.

in php it means 'suppress errors'

why it would be used in a regex beats me though.

There is a brief description here

or try this google results page
