JohnQSmith Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 @Guinness,you are complicating the patternNot if some text ends with a digit. Yes, I know the OP didn't mention that possibility, but then again it wasn't ruled out either. Whenever someone says "pls" because it's shorter than "please", I say "no" because it's shorter than "yes". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhoenixXL Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 (edited) Not if some text ends with a digit.Right that would match my given pattern, but that could be modified as follows #cs Replaces the Space preceded by a pure digit(s) into a TAB #ce Local $sString = 'some text2 100 528 470316 123 333 "some text"' ; some text 528@TAB470316@TAB"some text" SetExtended(1) ;Set Extended for initiation While @extended $sString = StringRegExpReplace($sString, '(\h\d+)( )', _ ;First Group Captures the Space preceded by a "horizontal space follwed by a digit(s)" '\1' & @TAB, 1) ;Restore the horizontal space and the digits and Replace the space with the TAB, do the replacement only once. WEnd ConsoleWrite( StringFormat( 'Current Fixed Pattern : %s\n' , $sString) ) Instead of making the pattern to match the full string, a small part could help in better error checking and flexibility Edited January 22, 2013 by PhoenixXL My code: PredictText: Predict Text of an Edit Control Like Scite.

guinness Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 PhoenixXL, I've never thought about using SetExtended in this way, don't know if this is considered a good approach or not, first time I've seen it being used other then when returning from a function.

PhoenixXL Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 (edited) don't know if this is considered a good approach or notI was lazy enough to add a "If then" statement for checking the extended macro. The approach is good till the time no other function is used inside the loop (orelse the macro would be reset) Plus a Do Until loop would do the same effect without the requirement of the initiation,Do StringRegExpReplace( ... ) Until Not @extended But habits sometimes show up Edited January 23, 2013 by PhoenixXL My code: PredictText: Predict Text of an Edit Control Like Scite.
