Help with RegEx


Recommended Posts

Hello,

I have a script that copies the text of a webpage into a variable named "$pagetext", and then runs a RegEx search looking for an email address in a specific spot. Originally, the format in the area of the page I'd need would be:

Quote

Phone: (555) 555-5555
Email: example@example.com
Example Company

To which, the following RegEx code worked:

$extractedEmail = StringRegExp($pagetext, "(?i)(?m:^)\s*email:\s*(.+)(?:\v|$)", 1)

Unfortunately, the format recently changed so that it now looks like:

Quote

Phone    
(555) 555-5555
Email    
example@example.com
Company
Example Company

Using this tool, I was able to determine that after "Email", comes a [Tab] and then an [End of Line(LF)]. Therefore, I tweaked my RegEx to this:

$extractedEmail = StringRegExp($pagetext, "(?i)(?m:^)\s*email\t\n*(.+)(?:\v|$)", 1)

And while this tool shows that it should be working, it doesn't seem to be working within AutoIt. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could resolve this, or what I'm doing wrong?

$pagetext = "Phone" & @LF & _
"(555) 555-5555" & @LF & _
"Email" & @TAB & @LF & _
"example@example.com" & @LF & _
"Company" & @LF & _
"Example Company"

msgbox(0, '' , StringRegExp(StringStripWS($pagetext , 8), "Email(.*?)Company", 3)[0])

Another one :

$pagetext = "Phone" & @CRLF & _
"(555) 555-5555" & @CRLF & _
"Email" & @TAB & @CRLF & _
"example@example.com" & @CRLF & _
"Company" & @CRLF & _
"Example Company"

$extractedEmail = StringRegExp($pagetext, "(?is)\s*email\s*([^@]+@\N+)", 1)

MsgBox(0, "", $extractedEmail[0] )

Thanks for the replies everyone. I tried each of those variations but unfortunately, none of them seem to be working on my end. I've attached a copy of the form I'm trying to pull this from which seems to be the same as the one I quoted in the original post, but does anyone know why this would not work?
