RegExp - SciTE config, getting the platform specific values

[Skitty]

I can usually get by with regexp, but not this time.

In scite global properties, there's an area where this is present~

if PLAT_WINNT
selection.alpha=30
selection.back=#000000
if PLAT_WIN95
selection.back=#DADADA
if PLAT_GTK
selection.alpha=30
selection.back=#000000
#selection.additional.fore=#0000A0

I want to get the WINNT ones specifically.

#include<array.au3>
$Test = ''
$Read = FileRead(RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREAutoIt v3AutoIt", "InstallDir")&"SciTESciTEGlobal.properties")
_GetProperty($Test ,$Read, 'selection.alpha', 0, 0)
ConsoleWrite($Test&@CR)

Func _GetProperty(ByRef $Var ,$Config, $Property, $Which = 0, $Rev = 0)
    Local $Test = StringRegExp($Config, StringReplace($Property, ".", ".") & "=(.*)[rn]", 3)
    _ArrayDisplay($Test)
    If (UBound($Test) > 1) Then
        ;ConsoleWrite($Config)
        Local $Temp = StringRegExp($Config, "WINNT(.*)if", 3)
        MsgBox(0,"",@error)
        _ArrayDisplay($Temp)
        If Not @error Then
            $Temp = StringRegExp($Temp[0], StringReplace($Property, ".", ".") & "=(.*)[rn]", 3)
            _ArrayDisplay($Temp)
        EndIf
    EndIf
    If @error Then Return
    Switch StringLower($Which)
        Case "fore"    ; Foreground color
            $Test = StringRegExp($Test[0], "fore:#(.*?)[,rn]", 3)
        Case "back"    ; Background color
            $Test = StringRegExp($Test[0], "back:#(.*?)[,rn]", 3)
        Case "#"    ; just the color
            $Test = StringRegExp($Test[0], "#(.*?)[,rn]", 3)
    EndSwitch
    If @error Then Return
    ;If $Rev Then $Test[0] = _Rev($Test[0])
    $Var = $Test[0]
    Return
EndFunc   ;==>_GetProperty

There are several places that you can find the words "if PLAT", will that RegExp get JUST the color settings? Plus, mine doesn't say WIN_NT for more than one setting, most times it's just "if PLAT_WIN"

[Skitty]

I didn't see it that way, good thing you mention it, I guess I'm just trying to get all the style properties from the windows specific ones, and then extract the property value as wanted, still trying to figure this out.

If you read through it line-by-line and look for "if PLAT_WINNT" at the start of the line, so that you don't pick up commented out lines, you can use that in a nested If/Then statement to look at the next line for the things you're looking for in the settings.

Do a _FileReadToArray on the properties file, search through each element for "if PLAT_WINNT" and then if you find it, search the next element for the strings you're looking for, if you don't find it, keep searching. Use a nested If comparison for that.

This is a typical situation where use of the _StringBetween() function to extract all the data between "if PLAT_WINNT" and "if PLAT" makes life easier and then use your own regular expression to split the returned lines as required.

Note:_StringBetween() returns an array.

I had that in mind, but I was devoted to do this using regular expression, but now that you mention it, I guess it will be more accurate using that method. Making sure to only retrieve values not commented out and those that have the tab space in them.

If you look into the how that function works, it's basically using regular expression

Also, I found out why the above wasn't working, the "." by default does not match new line (CR LF), adding (?s) changes that behavior.

Thanks for the tips though.
