Moderators SmOke_N Posted January 20, 2015 Moderators Posted January 20, 2015 (edited) Might want to watch for nested: Global $gsString = "i am <something<here><something> else>a string" ConsoleWrite(StringRegExpReplace($gsString, "<.*[^<]>", "") & @CRLF) Edited January 20, 2015 by SmOke_N Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt...

Moderators SmOke_N Posted January 20, 2015 Moderators Posted January 20, 2015 I changed it to that... I had a lazy quantifier in it before and realized it didn't remove the last forward arrow, so I just removed the lazy without checking if it made a diff...

iamtheky Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Ah, when it comes to regex I'm constantly afraid I am overlooking something I should have learned a long time ago. ,-. .--. ________ .-. .-. ,---. ,-. .-. .-. .-. |(| / /\ \ |\ /| |__ __||| | | || .-' | |/ / \ \_/ )/ (_) / /__\ \ |(\ / | )| | | `-' | | `-. | | / __ \ (_) | | | __ | (_)\/ | (_) | | .-. | | .-' | | \ |__| ) ( | | | | |)| | \ / | | | | | |)| | `--. | |) \ | | `-' |_| (_) | |\/| | `-' /( (_)/( __.' |((_)-' /(_| '-' '-' (__) (__) (_) (__)
Champak Posted January 20, 2015 Author Posted January 20, 2015 (edited) Thanks I tried it but it doesn't work for me...most likely because of the nested feature, I don't know. I tried editing it, but cant get the results I want. Here's an example of what I would need to edit. I don't think I'll ever come across a need for nested in this particular need. MsgBox(0,0,StringRegExpReplace("6.~Keep <b>right</b> to continue on <b>white plains blah blah Rd</b><div style='font-size:0.9em'>Destination will be on the right</div>~94((48.8388154, -78.8598753))", "<.*[^<]>", "")) Edited January 20, 2015 by Champak
kylomas Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Try this... local $string = "6.~Keep <b>right</b> to continue on <b>white plains blah blah Rd</b><div style='font-size:0.9em'>Destination will be on the right</div>~94((48.8388154, -78.8598753))" MsgBox(0,0,StringRegExpReplace($string,"<.*?[^<]>", " ")) Forum Rules Procedure for posting code "I like pigs.

Champak Posted January 20, 2015 Author Posted January 20, 2015 Thanks, that's perfect. I would never have thought of the question mark.
kylomas Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Glad it worked. I just altered the patterns from above from greedy to non-greedy and added a space for readability.

Moderators SmOke_N Posted January 20, 2015 Moderators Posted January 20, 2015 Um... try running that on my string kylomas, that's the exact expression I had that I changed.

kylomas Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 @SmOken_N - Yes, I alluded to your answer in my response. The OP says that there will be no nested groups...

Moderators SmOke_N Posted January 20, 2015 Moderators Posted January 20, 2015 (edited) k, well "<.*?>" would work the same then. Edit: This might be better so there aren't leading and trailing spaces even.
