@making multi lines match by RegExp

[Deye]

Hi

I'm Trying to figure out how multi lines should be pended to an expression :?

Thanks

$sString = "Test" & @LF & _
        'Local $Clear_Button = GUICtrlCreateButton("Clear", 313, 211, 50, 20")' & @LF& @LF & _
        '(GUICtrlSetTip(-1, "Clear all Check Boxes")'

$s = '(?m:Local \$Clear_Button = GUICtrlCreateButton\("Clear", 313, 211, 50, 20"\))\n+\n+(GUICtrlSetTip\(\-1, "Clear all Check Boxes"\))'
;~ $s = '(Local \$Clear_Button = GUICtrlCreateButton\("Clear", 313, 211, 50, 20"\))'

$sString = StringRegExpReplace($sString, $s, "")

MsgBox(0, '', $sString)

@Deye

Modifiers must be enclosed by separated round parentheses, so, (?m:Local should be (?m)(Local...)

FrancescoDiMuro,

 Adding (?m)(Local...) didn't work for me, I end up with screwed example code when something doesn't work (I did try that too I believe)

Thankfully I want need to get into this, Got the problem solved with my previous post

Thanks

Happy to hear that you solved the issue.

By the way, both in your test tring and pattern were missing some parentheses which probably were causing the issue

I don't know the purpose of this code but please note some details : with your example the multiline option is useless, grouping is not necessary because you don't use backreferences, and \n+\n+ is redundant

$sString = "Test" & @LF & _
        'Local $Clear_Button = GUICtrlCreateButton("Clear", 313, 211, 50, 20")' & @LF& @LF & _
        '(GUICtrlSetTip(-1, "Clear all Check Boxes")'

$s = 'Local \$Clear_Button = GUICtrlCreateButton\("Clear", 313, 211, 50, 20"\)\n+\(GUICtrlSetTip\(\-1, "Clear all Check Boxes"\)'

$sString = StringRegExpReplace($sString, $s, "")
MsgBox(0, '', $sString)

mikell,

I needed this for what i was using here marked as solved as the reproducer shows to me now that  everything should work

but it still Doesn't with my main script,  also tried implementing the replace with this version smae thing: @error = 0, @extended = 0

yet to figure why is that 

Edit : just found it out 

Thanks
