Regex's Experts, somebody can help me to split it?

[Luigi]

Hi, I need split a string like this:

Locals $ str = "aaa:bbb,ccc:{key1:value1},ddd:{key2:{key3:value3,key4:value4}},eee:{key5:value5}"

Always have a value folowed a key, splited by :, if nested, separated by ,

No need split the child, I use recursion

I was exptect something like this

aaa: bbb
ccc: {key1: value1}
ddd: {key2: {key3: value3, key4, valor4}}
eee: {key5, valor5}

Question: is possible solve this with regular expression or exist anotherway?

 

Best regards,

Detefon

try this

Local $str = "aaa:bbb|ccc:{key1:value1}|ddd:{key2:{key3:value3,key4,value4}}|eee:{key5,value5}"
$output = StringReplace($str,"|" , @CRLF)
MsgBox(64,"",$str & @CRLF & @CRLF & $output)

Detefon,

I suspect a couple typos in your example. I see that both (key4 and value4) and (key5 and value5)  are separated by commas, while they should use a colon in your syntax. That or key4 and key5 are misnommers and are in fact values and not actual keys.

@jchd you are write, the example is corrected...

@Muzaiyan, nice idea, i forgot can I use this recurse... I try later.

?

#Include <Array.au3>

Local $str = "aaa:bbb,ccc:{key1:value1},fff:ggg,ddd:{key2:{key3:value3,key4:value4}},eee:{key5:value5}"

$res = StringRegExp($str, '(?:[^:,]+:[^:{},]+)|(?<=,)(?:.*?)(?=(?<=\}),|$)', 3)
 _ArrayDisplay($res)
