StringRegExp and ClipGet() help needed


Recommended Posts

Hello

I'm a bit stuck. Tried different variations from helpfile with no luck. How to identify if ClipGet() includes following characters: "****S?"

where *= letter(a-Z) or a number and

?=letter X or a number (0 to 9)

For example ClipGet() could be for example

- 7341S7

- 7341SX 

- D187S1

If StringRegExp(ClipGet(),'....S.') then

            MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "This is ok.")

EndIf

If StringRegExp($x,'^[a-z0-9]{4}S[a-z0-9]$') then

EndIf

seems to work

... StringRegExp($x,'^[A-Za-z0-9]{4}S(X|[0-9])$')

seems to work better ;).

After the S, only the letter X or a number is allowed. If only capital letters should be permitted, then you can omit a-z :

... StringRegExp($x,'^([A-Z]|\d){4}S(X|\d)$')

(the pattern can also be shortened)

Thanks but I need a bit of modification as I found out that actually what ClipGet() will contain is

xxxxxSx

where

x= a-zA-Z0-9

S= s or S

Total of 7 digits/letters and 5 before S/s 

I just cant get it working. Whats wrong?

$x = ClipGet()

If StringRegExp($x,'^[A-Za-z0-9]{5}s|S[A-Za-z0-9]$') then
            MsgBox(0, "Accepted", "This is ok.")
         Else
            MsgBox(0, "Denied", "This is not ok.")
EndIf

As modification from the code of @Nine:

Func check($text)
    If  StringRegExp($text,"(?i)^[[:alnum:]]{5}s[\dx]$")  Then
        ConsoleWrite("+" & $text & " is ok" & @CRLF)
    Else
        ConsoleWrite("!" & $text & " is not ok" & @CRLF)
    EndIf
EndFunc   ;==>check

check("b7341S7")
check("7a341SX")
check("1D187S1")
check("xxxxxSx")

 

Any of my own codes posted on the forum are free for use by others without any restriction of any kind. (WTFPL)

There is no S in there ?

Same like with this "00001BE". Sometimes code works ok but sometimes false outcome. I just dont get it why your code wont work reliably?

I cannot control what you got in your clipboard, but it is working fine.  So put a ConsoleWrite like me to show the content of the clip.

Local $a = ["A7341S7","a7341sX","2D187s9", "00001BE", "3267173"]

For $s in $a
  ConsoleWrite ("With " & $s & "(" & Binary($s) & ") SRE returns " & StringRegExp($s,"(?i)^[[:alnum:]]{5}s[[:alnum:]]$") & @CRLF)
Next

 

Edited by Nine
added binary to have the exact content of the clip

:lol:

@USSSR : Just to make sure - The latest rule : xxxxxSx is True if x=a-zA-Z0-9 and S=s or S (total of 7 digits/letters and 5 before S/s )

@Nine 's code works reliably !

You could additionally remove Whitespace characters, but finally the console output will show, what is provided by ClipGet.

Local $a = ["A7341S7","a7341sX","2D187s9", "00001BE", "3267173"]
For $s in $a
    $s = StringStripWS ($s, 8)
    ConsoleWrite ("With " & $s & "(" & Binary($s) & ") SRE returns " & StringRegExp($s,"(?i)^[[:alnum:]]{5}s[[:alnum:]]$") & @CRLF)
Next

BTW : From the Help (StringRegEx) : [:alnum:] = ASCII letters and digits ( same as [^\W_] or [A-Za-z0-9] ).

I got this working with the help of you. At the end there had to be one Sleep() inserted after copying the 7 digits from the program for AutoIT/ClipGet(). Otherwise it didn't work reliably.
