EndFunc Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 For all you regexp guru's, I have a slight problem. I have this code that looks at a line in a text file and finds the word "Connection" and then grabs the number next to it. However if there is no number it still grabs the next letter in the line which also happens to be a number I don't want. how can this code be changed so that it will only look up to 1 space. If there is no number after 1 space then return nothing. This is what I have. StringRegExp($line, "(?U)Connection\h+(\H+)\h", 3) EndFuncAutoIt is the shiznit. I love it.
