kor Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 can someone tell me why my expression is deleting an "A" in the beginning of the name if it is capitol?#include <String.au3> ;$sName = "Allen" $sName = "allen" $result = _StringProper(StringRegExpReplace($sName, "[\A\s\W]", "")) ; strip whitespace from beginning of name and clean special characters consolewrite($result & @CR) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Melba23 Posted July 31, 2012 Moderators Share Posted July 31, 2012 kor,This is just an educated guess, but putting the "A" inside the set makes "A" a valid character to match. I think that the "A" should be outside the set like this so it matches at the beginning of the string as you want: #include <String.au3> $sName = "Allen" $result = _StringProper(StringRegExpReplace($sName, "A[sW]", "")) ; strip whitespace from beginning of name and clean special characters ConsoleWrite($result & @CR) $sName = "allen" $result = _StringProper(StringRegExpReplace($sName, "A[sW]", "")) ; strip whitespace from beginning of name and clean special characters ConsoleWrite($result & @CR)That works for me.
