Hello guys, i have a problem in this regex because its not groupping right.

Look: 

(\d{1,2}\s?[\055|\056|\057|\134]\s?\d{1,2}(\s?[\055|\056|\057|\134]\s?\d{2,4})?)

It checks for day or dayday, month or monthmonth, yearyear or yearyearyear+year.

separated with or without space and the characters "\/.-"

But, a problem! I tried to regex the date with or without the "separator + year" Eg: 05/05 or 05/05/05, but when i have 05/05/05, regex are separating 05/05 and /05

Iam using group "()" wrong?

Need help here :D

Thx adv!

~~EDIT:

Script used: (from autoitscript.com/forum/topic/129697-split-string-by-regular-expression/#comment-901335) 

#include <Array.au3>

Local $sString = ClipGet()

; Extract the delimiters
$aDelim = StringRegExp($sString, '(\d{1,2}\s?[\055|\056|\057|\134]\s?\d{1,2}(\s?[\055|\056|\057|\134]\s?\d{2,4})?)', 3)

; Split the string on the delimiters
$aParts = StringSplit(StringRegExpReplace($sString, '(\d{1,2}\s?[\055|\056|\057|\134]\s?\d{1,2}(\s?[\055|\056|\057|\134]\s?\d{2,4})?)', "$<SEPARATOR>$"), "$<SEPARATOR>$", 3)

; Add the delimter to the start of the part
For $i = 0 To UBound($aParts) - 1
   ;$aParts[$i + 1] = $aDelim[$i] & $aParts[$i + 1]
Next

; Set the count
$aParts[0] = UBound($aParts)

; Display the result
_ArrayDisplay($aParts)
_ArrayDisplay($aDelim)

Results in array: (the array parts in all string is ok; but the string delimitator himself is getting separated in every string that have year together)

String used as test:

02 / 9 \ 16 – test

07 - 9 . 16 – test

09/9/16 – test

14\9\16 – test

16-9-16 – test


21.9.16 – test


23/9 – test

It helps when you post a small script that demonstrates the issue, so we can have a play with it.

Ok copied your test data into a file to make life easy.

are you sure that the pattern [\055|\056|\057|\134] matches what you expect ? https://regex101.com/r/zQ5xY4/1

 

It match "\/.-" one of these chars. But in this link you posted, regex are founding char "|", isnt this char a "OR" operator in regex?

I find it rare that people use octal nowadays, in regexp patterns or elsewhere.

Inside a character class, the bar | doesn't mean alternation, it stands for itself (redondantly here).

But one question remains: what format do you want the final result to be?

If you do not want the delimliter and year only to be specifically matched then make that part of the RE pattern a non-capturing group.
See example. 

#include <Array.au3>

Local $sString = StringRegExpReplace(FileRead(@ScriptFullPath), "(?is)^.*#cs\R|\R?#ce.*$", "") ; ClipGet()
ConsoleWrite($sString & @CRLF)

$a = StringRegExp($sString, "((?:[0-9]{1,2}[\h\-\\/.]{0,3}){2,3})", 3)
_ArrayDisplay($a)

; Modified $aDelim from Post#1
$aDelim = StringRegExp($sString, '(\d{1,2}\s?[\055|\056|\057|\134]\s?\d{1,2}(?:\s?[\055|\056|\057|\134]\s?\d{2,4})?)', 3)
; Note addition of "?:" in the RegExp pattern in the line above here~~~~~~~~~^
_ArrayDisplay($aDelim, "$aDelim")

; Data for variable $sString - Copied from Post#1
#cs

02 / 9 \ 16 – test

07 - 9 . 16 – test

09/9/16 – test

14\9\16 – test

16-9-16 – test


21.9.16 – test


23/9 – test


28\9 – test

#ce

How can i mark as solved this topic?

Amazing forum guys, thanks for the help!!!

 

~~EDIT:

I did a improve in the regex code.

Now check for a valid day (0-31; dont check by month) and check a valid month (1-12).

Including leading zero.

Check it out: 

$aDelim = StringRegExp($texto, '((?:\n0[1-9]\s?[|\\/.-]\s?\b(?:0[1-9]|[1-9]|1[1-2])\b|\n[1-9]\s?[|\\/.-]\s?\b(?:0[1-9]|[1-9]|1[1-2])\b|\n[1-2][0-9]\s?[|\\/.-]\s?\b(?:0[1-9]|[1-9]|1[1-2])\b|\n3[0-1]\s?[|\\/.-]\s?\b(?:0[1-9]|[1-9]|1[1-2])\b)(?:\s?[|\\/.-]\s?\d{2,4})?)', 3)

      StringRegExpSplit
      By genius257
      Inspired by PHP's preg_split.
      Split string by a regular expression.
      Also supports the same flags as the PHP equivalent.
      v1.0.1
       
      Example:
      #include "StringRegExpSplit.au3" StringRegExpSplit('splitCamelCaseWords', '(?<=\w)(?=[A-Z])') ; ['split', 'Camel', 'Case', 'Words']

      How do I get the output of the matching pattern?

      Is there a way to output the regex matches into a file?
      I have a script to compare two files and check for regex matches.
      I want to output the matching regex of 'testexample.txt' to another file.
      #include <MsgBoxConstants.au3> #include <Array.au3> $Read = FileReadToArray("C:\Users\admin\Documents\testexample.txt") $Dictionary = FileReadToArray("C:\Users\admin\Documents\example.txt") For $p = 0 To UBound($Dictionary) - 1 Step 1 $pattern = $Dictionary[$p] For $i = 0 To UBound($Read) - 1 Step 1 $regex = $Read[$i] If StringRegExp($regex, $pattern, 0) Then MsgBox(0, "ResultsPass", "The string is in the file, highlighted strings: " ) Else MsgBox(0, "ResultsFail", "The string isn't in the file.")
