Regex declaration

[JoeBar]

Hi, i know that's a stupid question, but i cannot format a correct Regex declaration (although the regex is good in itself) :

Local $regex = "[\w" ":\/%\.']+"

I have a problem with the double-quotes and/or with the space in middle of regex.

Thanks !

Try doubling up on the double quotes inside the string, like this --

Local $regex = "[\w"" "":\/%\.']+"

Good solution, thanks for your fast answer !

AutoIt string literals can use either single or double quotes as delimiter.

Also your character class pattern uselessly includes twice the double quote; dot isn't special inside a character class and finally slash isn't special either (despite the common use of / to delimit patterns in Perl and many other environments: the regex functions know that the parameter is a pattern).  You still have to double the single quote (in bold red below) for AutoIt to parse the string correctly

Hence you can write your pattern like this:

  Local $regex = '[\w ":/%.'']+'
or, equivalently, using double quotes as string delimiter and doubling the embedded one (in bold green below):
  Local $regex = "[\w "":/%.']+"

The double quote were here for a space (didn't know a simple space would match), so no double quote is needed inside the RegEx.

I can't delete \ before / and . or it doesn't recongnize the litteral characters.

In fact i don't need % too.

My RegEx is : [\w :\/\.'-]+ , but i would want to not include spaces after the ";" , i join an example of my file :

Quake3; https://test-site.com/Quake.jpg; Welcome to QUAKE 3 Arena!; https://test-site.com:5001/sharing/jjherqg
CS1.6; https://test-site.com/cs16_cover.jpg; C'est le grand classique; https://test-site.com:5001/sharing/kllfdsbg
Sven co-op;  https://test-site.com/sven_cover.jpg; Half Life en COOP; https://test-site.com:5001/sharing/dfgdfgdfg
Chivalry; https://test-site.com/chiv_cover.jpg; Paulo dans le dos; https://test-site.com:5001/sharing/hbrfhgdhg

My goal is to delete the annoying spaces between ";" and all strings.

I do it with RegExReplace after RegEx, but if you could show me how to do it in one simple RegEx, that would be nice !

Thanks.

StringRegExpReplace($txt, '(?<=;)\h+', "")

Untrue:

ConsoleWrite(StringRegExpReplace("abc/def//ghi.jkl", "[/.]", "_") & @LF)

So RegEx in Autoit is different from PCRE, for example Regex101.

I thought it was the same engine.

Where can i find the differences between them ?

I do StringRegExpReplace ("(^\s+)", "")  after my Regex and i have the good formatting.

---> My 1st regex puts the elements in an array and the StringRegExpReplace removes blanks before elements.

 

I just asked if i could do this with just a simple Regex without the StringRegExpReplace.

I don't understand your formulation.

I can't believe you guys haven't caught that this thread involves something the rules prohibit. I was going to say something earlier, but I thought the thread was over and didn't want to stir up stuff.

It's for doing a loader for LAN games in private, we own games etc ....

We have an http server to distribute games, it's just that.

What is the problem ?

Gaming automation is forbidden. Here is the forum rules:

Look at the first point, the 4th bullet point:

Quote

Launching, automation or script interaction with games or game servers, regardless of the game.

Sorry. From what I understand, gaming talk in the past led to lots of anger on the forum. Personally, I don't like game cheaters. I play an online game and got bulldozered because the opponent was obviously cheating. Don't be a cheater. There's no glory in that.

[JoeBar]

Ok i found the answer : StringRegExp ;*\s*([\w :\/\.'-]+) , it does what i want with a simple RegEx

 

Thanks for your help.

Are you serious ?

This script is just used to download a list of files with a GUI on an owned server at home.

It never aims at automate any game or what, LOL cheating in 2019.

Stop drugs.

Edit : If you want, i show you the full code, you will seem shameful ...

Joe, take a small moment to breath.  He is not attacking you.  He is just remembering you of the rules...You are asking for help, so consider the ppl investing time to answer you.

Whether it is "shameful" or not, showing all your code will help others help you.

Sorry if i was rude (don't know the word, i'm not english), but i found talking about Cheat just with my examples exagerated.

I like the idea of sharing knowledge and i hope it will go on.

My problem is solved with the only elements provided but if you ever want, just ask me and i will.

Now that I have read through the topic further, it appears @abberration was correct in pointing you the rules. The forum rules state we do not support automation of games OR their servers, whether these are owned by you or a third party. Thread locked, feel free to PM me if you would like to discuss further.
