StringSplit... kinda

[Seminko]

Hey fellas,

I have a string and please note it is going to be dynamic:

6||: [      |meatflycze|,      |oze_g|    ]  }}

What I need is to somehow extract the strings between these two characters: " | " and put them one after another. So the string above would become:

meatflycze, oze_g

Any ideas please?

have you try with _StringBetween() ?

[Seminko]

OMG, I was sure there was a function that I've already seen. This is it!

Let me try...

Regex can do that 

#Include <Array.au3>

$str = "6||: [      |meatflycze|,      |oze_g|    ]  }}"

$res = StringRegExp($str, '\|(\w+)\|', 3)
 _ArrayDisplay($res)

 _ArrayDisplay($res)

That is correct mister! Now I have to figure out a way how to put all elements of the array into a single string with a comma and a space in between

for and &.

or try _ArrayToString() also

$str = "6||: [      |meatflycze|,      |oze_g|    ]  }}"

$str = StringReplace(StringRegExpReplace($str, '[^[:alpha:]_,]', ""), ",", ", ")
Msgbox(0,"", $str)

[Seminko]

 

$str = "6||: [      |meatflycze|,      |oze_g|    ]  }}"

$str = StringReplace(StringRegExpReplace($str, '[^[:alpha:]_,]', ""), ",", ", ")
Msgbox(0,"", $str)

Hey mikell! Nice to see you again! And it indeed worked!

Very much appreciated guys!

[Gianni]

 

$str = "6||: [      |meatflycze|,      |oze_g|    ]  }}"

$str = StringReplace(StringRegExpReplace($str, '[^[:alpha:]_,]', ""), ",", ", ")
Msgbox(0,"", $str)

 

shouldn't this string give 3 substrings? it gives 2 instead

$str = "6||: [      |meatf| |lycze|,      |oze_g|    ]  }}"

One more thing though. Is there a way to write the data into a txt file?

I know of FileWrite. But the next time the script is used I would like the previous data to be rewritten.

[Seminko]

Alrighty, FileOpen in the second mode does exactly that. Thanks again guys.

Open the file in overwrite mode
