Delete text from specific marker.

[Keniger]

I have example :

"

<th scope='col' class='col_f_post'>Ostatni post</th>

</tr>
<!-- BEGIN TOPICS -->


<tr itemscope itemtype="[url="http://schema.org/Article"]http://schema.org/Article"[/url] class='__topic  expandable' id='trow_718292' data-tid="718292">
<td class='col_f_icon altrow short'>

"

I want delete all data before <!-- BEGIN TOPICS -->

To get only this :

<!-- BEGIN TOPICS -->


<tr itemscope itemtype="[url="http://schema.org/Article"]http://schema.org/Article"[/url] class='__topic  expandable' id='trow_718292' data-tid="718292">
<td class='col_f_icon altrow short'>

Is that possible to do ?

Of course, put the text you posted in a txt file named "1.txt" and run this

Msgbox(0,"", StringRegExpReplace(FileRead("1.txt"), '(?s).+<!-- BEGIN TOPICS -->.+)', "$1") )

And if you want to do it to the webpage itself - you can use IE.Au3 library to read the table HTML - perform the same replace statement as per mikell's post and put the result back.

Hum for this InetRead is better (and faster) than the _IEBodyReadHtml()

mikell,

Perhaps you meant this

Msgbox(0,"", StringRegExpReplace(FileRead("1.txt"), '(?s).+(<!-- BEGIN TOPICS -->.+)', "$1") )

* - opening paren for capturing group mising
