ElseIf and more than, less than?

ohhhhh, it's an actual number in the file

Sorry again, my explaining sucks.

You da man! Works like a charm!

Thanks for understanding my bad English and my bad explaining!

Glad I could help

[Scinner]

Is there a StringStrip that removes everything but numbers?

Ex. If I have a .txt with ((12)) it strips the parentheses away? 

[jdelaney]

This could do it ...replace all non-digits with ""

$string = "((22))"
$string = StringRegExpReplace ($string, "[^\d]","")
ConsoleWrite($string & @CRLF)

Scinner,

For that you will need a RegEx:

$sString = "((12))"

$sNewString = StringRegExpReplace($sString, "\D", "")

MsgBox(0, "Result", $sNewString)

But then your head starts to hurt a lot.

You can also modify the examples given to replace with a delimiter - for example space - if you have lots of numbers in the string.

Thx, will try to implement that. What do you mean "my head starts to hurt"?

Edit: And what if its not a given number but random? Is there a way to strip (( )) out of any number?

Scinner,

RegExes are probably the hardest thing I have ever tried to learn in computing. Some people seem to be able to pick them up very quickly - others, like me, find their brains bleeding when they get complicated, which alas they often do.

If you want to take a look at what they are and how they work, I always recommend this site as a good introduction. But enter into the RegEx world at your own risk - they are very useful, but bloody frustrating!

Edit: And to answer your added question - that is the wonder of RegExes - they work on patterns, not fixed values. So the 2 examples we gave you will work on any number with any other characters. Just try it:

$sString = "~~376??"

$sNewString = StringRegExpReplace($sString, "\D", "")

MsgBox(0, "Result", $sNewString)

See what I mean?

Ok, Im not that skilled so I'll better edit the .txt with programmed "Deletes" and "Backspaces" then...

Edit: There will allways be only ONE number in the .txt but it can contain 1-6 chars + parentheses.

Scinner,

Did you see my edit? RegExes are definitely the way to go if you want to extract digits as you do.

You should read line, not a file.

Do a file read line.

When u read a file, it returns everything, every line in that file. It could be too much.

Thx for the info! The file Im going to read will always only contain 1 number though.

[Scinner]

Is there a way to use FileReadLine to read a line in a variable? Without having to save the variable in a file and then use FileReadLine.

[jchd]

Your question doesn't make sense.

Read the help file again.

[Scinner]

Your question doesn't make sense.

Read the help file again.

If I have a string in a variable that contains lots of chars and I want to strip the string down to a specific line, is that possible? Or is there no lines in a variable?

[water]

"Lines" are separated by linend character(s). What is your linend chracter? @CR, @CRLF?

[Scinner]

How do I know what linend char I have?

I get the source from _IEBodyReadHTML into a variable and then I want to strip the string of everything else but one line.

[water]

Can you post an example of the string? Else it is very hard to suggest a solution.
