Help me with pattern in StringRegExp

[123disconnect]

I have code

$pattern = 
$str = "%abcd% = Section, hardwareID_1, hardwareID_2, ..... ,HardwareID_n"
$array = StringRegExp( $str, $pattern, 3)

Anyone help me with $pattern value 

I need $array is : 

$array[0] = 'abcd'

$array[1] = 'HardwareID_1'

$array[2] = 'HardwareID_2'

.......

$array[n] = 'HardwareID_n'

No whitespace in all return string . (Sorry for my English)

Thank you verymuch

Maybe this way

#include<array.au3>
$pattern = '%(\w+)%|,\s*(\w+)'
$str = "%abcd% = Section, hardwareID_1, hardwareID_2, ..... ,HardwareID_n"
$array = StringRegExp($str, $pattern, 3)
ConsoleWrite(_ArrayToString($array) & @CRLF)

Works good Xeno except seems to to produce line extra array elements between the results.

Probably can be fixed in the regex, but I would probably just strip it like this:

#Include <Array.au3>
#Include <StringConstants.au3>

$sPattern = '%(\w+)%|,\s*(\w+)'
$sString = "%abcd% = Section, hardwareID_1, hardwareID_2, ..... ,HardwareID_n"
$aArray = StringRegExp($sString, $sPattern, $STR_REGEXPARRAYGLOBALMATCH)
$sString2 = _ArrayToString($aArray, "|")
$sString2 = StringReplace($sString2, "||", "|")
$aArray2 = StringSplit($sString2, "|", $STR_NOCOUNT)
_ArrayDisplay($aArray2)

Please manage the character set [\w.#] depending on the syntax of the elements to get 

#include<array.au3>

$pattern = '(?<=%|,)\s*([\w.#]+)'

$str = "%abcd% = Section, hardwareID_#1, hardwareID_2, ..... ,HardwareID_n"
$array = StringRegExp($str, $pattern, 3)
 _ArrayDisplay($array)

Sorry, I just did a quick answer. I did oversee the ||.
So, mikells solution is more correct.

 

[ViciousXUSMC]

mikell always got the regex

I figured a non capture group of some sort would be the fix, mind explaining how come your regex does not produce the same blank elements as Xeno's is it the lookbehind?

Xenobiologist's regex works, but must be enclosed in a duplicate subpattern group :

#include <array.au3>
$pattern = '(?|%(\w+)%|,\s*(\w+))'
$str = "%abcd% = Section, hardwareID_1, hardwareID_2, ..... ,HardwareID_n"
$array = StringRegExp($str, $pattern, 3)

_ArrayDisplay($array)

 

[mikell]

Haha yes the 'force reset' thing does the trick 

The lookaround is not bad either 

[jguinch]

Yes, but more complex...
