Autoit StringRegExp patters in C#

[AutID]

Hihi,

I will be honest and direct. I suck in regular expressions. In autoit, in c#, in c++ everywhere i go.
So an old friend had made these patters for me in autoit and i need them now in c#. Unfortunatly i have no more contacts with him so he can't help me.
So the patterns he made for me are these:

Local rules_1 = "(?i)\[ilvl:([0-9]{1,2})\]"
Local rules_2 = "(?i)\[q:([0-9]{1,2})\]"
Local rules_3 = "(?i)\(([[:ascii:]+]+)\)"

Can anyone help me here please?

Cheers

Edit: The code for the patterns looks like this:

If StringRegExp($tab, $rules_1) = 1 Then  
 $tab_RegExp = StringRegExp($tab, $rules_1, 2)
  
 $tab = StringReplace($tab, $tab_RegExp[0], "", 0, 2)
  
 $curr_ilvl = $tab_RegExp[1]
 
Else
  
 $curr_ilvl = 0
  
EndIf

DotNetPerls would be a good place to look on using the Regex object. Then you have the quick reference here to see the difference between that and PCRE

As for those patterns they work in AutoIt? When using strings that contain regular expression patterns, use a verbatim literal.

That made my day. Thanks.

P.S it was a nightmare. To return an array you have to turn the string into maches but then to use other string functions you have to turn the elements of the array back to strings which killed me. After some hours i managed turning the 2 functions i needed into C#. On the other hand i am glad beause i learnt somethings

And thank you for moving the thread, whoever did it

Gneh?

Result matches array elements are strings (what else?) which allows you to revive.

Yes but if you call a string of an array you can not call all the string function that you can with a simple string.

string[0] which is basically a string

string simple string

I mean if you call string[0] which is a string, not all string functions can be excecuted with this. A lot of them yes but not all without throwing an exception.

You have to convert your string[0] which is a string to string.(Convert.ToString(), string[].ToString() etc...)

C# doesn't support redim so i am working with generics. Even if a Match is equal to a string, you can not use it as a string before converting it to string.

Now I am lost.

Well don't be. What jchd is saying is correct.

An array element is a string if you use it like this in c#

Regex rules_1 = new Regex(@"(?i)\[ilvl:([0-9]{1,2})\]");
var match1 = rules_1.Match(String1);
var value1 = match1.Groups[1].Value;   //this is a string

but this is not the way i am doing it.

[guinness]

I understood jchd.

[AutID]

Yep. I was returning matches from the regex which i had to convert to strings before the usage and then back to arrays for the redim.

It was my mistake

jchd, merci beaucoup.

You're welcome regardless of whether you undestand yourself or not
