jchd Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 $countries = "North America: Canada,United States" $country = StringRegExpReplace($countries, "(.*?:\h*)", "") ConsoleWrite($country & @LF) ; if you're positive that a colon is always present in the subject, then $countries = "Europe: Ireland,United Kingdom,Italy,France" $country = StringRegExp($countries, ":\h*\K.*", 2)[0] ConsoleWrite($country & @LF) This wonderful site allows debugging and testing regular expressions (many flavors available).

water Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 What do you expect to get? Just the text after the colon? Using StringSplit:#include <StringConstants.au3> #include <Array.au3> $sCountries = "North America: Canada,United States" $aCountries = StringSplit($sCountries, ":", $STR_NOCOUNT) If @error Then MsgBox(0, "Error", "No colon found") Else MsgBox(0, "Result", "Countries in " & $aCountries[0] & ":" & @CRLF & $aCountries[1]) EndIf My UDFs and Tutorials: Spoiler UDFs:Active Directory (NEW 2022-02-19 - Version 1.6.1.0) - Download - General Help & Support - Example Scripts - WikiExcelChart (2017-07-21 - Version 0.4.0.1) - Download - General Help & Support - Example ScriptsOutlookEX (2021-11-16 - Version 1.7.0.0) - Download - General Help & Support - Example Scripts - WikiOutlookEX_GUI (2021-04-13 - Version 1.4.0.0) - DownloadOutlook Tools (2019-07-22 - Version 0.6.0.0) - Download - General Help & Support - WikiPowerPoint (2021-08-31 - Version 1.5.0.0) - Download - General Help & Support - Example Scripts - WikiTask Scheduler (NEW 2022-07-28 - Version 1.6.0.1) - Download - General Help & Support - Wiki Standard UDFs:Excel - Example Scripts - WikiWord - Wiki Tutorials:ADO - WikiWebDriver - Wiki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
