[Solved] StringRegExpReplace Path

[Danyfirex 499]

hi mate, today I have this problem trying to get the file path of a reg data.

this is my registry data:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\CS5ServiceManager\CS5ServiceManager.exe -launchedbylogin"

I use this but doesn't work

StringRegExpReplace($Data, '["]|(.*w+.w+)(.*)', "$1")

but return me the path with "-launchedbylogin", how can I fix that?

I do not have experience with StringRegExp

regards

sorry for my english.

Solved:

$data = "C:Program Files (x86)Common FilesAdobeCS5ServiceManagerCS5ServiceManager.exe -launchedbylogin"


MsgBox(0,"",StringRegExpReplace($data, ".*(?i)[C-Z](:.+..{3}).*", "C1"))

Try this, as now your's is only limited to files on the C: drive.

Local $sFilePath = '"C:Program Files (x86)Common FilesAdobeCS5ServiceManagerCS5ServiceManager.exe -launchedbylogin"'
ConsoleWrite(StringRegExpReplace($sFilePath, '"(V+.H*)V*"', '1') & @CRLF)

no work if not exist quote in the end

Local $sFilePath = '"C:Program Files (x86)Common FilesAdobeCS5ServiceManagerCS5ServiceManager.exe -launchedbylogin'
ConsoleWrite(StringRegExpReplace($sFilePath, '"(V+.H*)V*"$', '1') & @CRLF)

Simple fix! Now the quotes are optional.

Local $sFilePath = '"C:Program Files (x86)Common FilesAdobeCS5ServiceManagerCS5ServiceManager.exe -launchedbylogin'
ConsoleWrite(StringRegExpReplace($sFilePath, '"?(V+.H*)V*"?', '1') & @CRLF)

Actually, if that doesn't work (which it does) then provide examples of situations where you have different filepaths and I will create a regular expression that fits around them.

The reason it didn't work before is I presumed the filepaths would contain quotes at the start and end, so of course they were explicit.

Honestly, I'm still learning and that SRE can probably be improved by a SRE Guru.

Another way using the 'lazy dot.'

Local $sFilePath = '"C:Program Files (x86)Common FilesAdobeCS5ServiceManagerCS5ServiceManager.exe -launchedbylogin'
ConsoleWrite(StringRegExpReplace($sFilePath, '"?(.+.H*).*"?', '1') & @CRLF)

You can also removed the $ character in the version before.
