Little help with StringReg

[Damein]

So someone gave me this to hep me with a script awhile back. Sadly, I just took the code and used it without trying to understand it. Well, that isn't helping me now. I need to do the same thing, but with a different string.

Here is the code

StringRegExp($sSource, "(?i)<img\ssrc=.+(http.+\.png).*column 1.*-->", 1)

Now its pulling data from this:

http://www.weather.com/weather/today/Jeffersonville+IN+47130

So what I want to know is, what do all of the arguments mean in this StringRegExp? Because I tried using them myself, but I couldn't get it to work with the other webpage.

I am trying to get the times from this website

http://www.weather.com/weather/hourbyhour/graph/47130

Specifically

<div class="hbhWxHour" id="hbhWxHour0">
       
        <div class="hbhWxDate"><div>Mon<br>Apr 23</div></div>
        
        <div class="hbhWxTime"><div>4 pm</div></div>
        <div class="hbhWxImg"><div style="cursor:pointer;" onclick="gotoTableView('/weather/hourbyhour/47130','16')"><img src="http://i.imwx.com/web/common/wxicons/45/24.gif" alt="" width="45" height="45" border="0"></div></div>
        <div class="hbhWxTemp"><div>61.0&deg; </div></div>
        <div class="hbhWxPrecip"><div><span>Precip:</span><br>10%</div></div>
       </div><!-- hbhWxHour -->

I am heading out the door now, so I will post more info later if need be. Pretty much I need to be able to grab the "4 pm" from that one, and then be able to do it for all the other times as well. But mine for some reason just grabs the "11 pm", which is:

<div class="hbhWxHour" id="hbhWxHour7">
        
        
         <div class="hbhWxDate hbhWxDateSpacer"><div>&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;</div></div>
         
         <div class="hbhWxTime"><div>11 pm</div></div>
         <div class="hbhWxImg"><div style="cursor:pointer;" onclick="gotoTableView('/weather/hourbyhour/47130','23',',')"><img src="http://i.imwx.com/web/common/wxicons/45/33.gif" alt="" width="45" height="45" border="0"></div></div>
         <div class="hbhWxTemp"><div>48.0&deg; </div></div>
         <div class="hbhWxPrecip"><div><span>Precip:</span><br>0%</div></div>
        </div><!-- hbhWxHour -->

For some reason.

Anyways, thanks in advance!

Just as a little FYI. I don't want someone to code this for me exactly. I just want them to break each argument down for me so I can better understand whats going on

Damein,

I do not think you are going to have much luck asking for a personal course in SRE parsing.

The best way ahead is to start learning about SREs yourself and then posing specific questions when you come across problems applying one in your code. I always recommend this site as a good point to start learning about SREs - although jchd has a soft spot for this one.

Good luck.

Alright, I made a round-a-bout way to do this myself, but I had to split the source two ways.

$Time1Start = StringRegExp($sSource, '(?s)id="hbhWxHour0">(.+?)<!--', 1)
    $Time1 = StringRegExp($Time1Start[0], '(?s)<div class="hbhWxTime"><div>(.+?)</div>', 1)

But thanks, I'll look into that
