Stringregexp Guide

[steve8tch]

I have updated StringRegExpGUI to work with the new StringRegExp inplementation.

I have taken the opportunity to add in a timer (this shows how long the StringRegExp part takes) and a status bar and a little bit of colour.

As usual - if anyone has any suggestions, please get back to me.

Needs beta.

At the moment when you run the script using Scite - you get the fllowing error message - just press Continue..

StrRegExpGUI.au3(133,86) : ERROR: StringRegExp() [built-in] called with wrong number of args.

This should be fixed in next update of Scite

Hey, it's a very good tutorial (even I knew it already!).

[BasicOs]

Just an FYI to anyone who is new to regular expressions - these are not a new concept, nor are they special to AutoIt. Anyone who has experience with Unix/Posix, Perl, or Tcl, for example, would be familiar with regular expressions.

Here's the wikipedia page for regular expressions:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression

The point is, if you learn regular expressions, that knowlede will be useful to you beyond just AutoIt.

I do not know if there is already a Autoithelp for this, but your link looks great (the manual or WikiPedia) I do not know if it is all, or is something missing in there.

Is it not possible that somebody who understand well this new strRegExp, can correct it with colours and notes to show the the differences (exceptions) of Autoits version? So that we can learn something else.

Also To Add at the end, of this manual a top 30 searches from sTRregExp, so that we can take when necessary?,

I think with this 2 help points most of the Scripters would start with such a udf.

Great tut... I really have needed to use RE's in the past, but never took the time to learn it.

Great job steve8tch, I didn't realize how much faster it was now

[steve8tch]

Yep, I reckon that the new StringRegExp implementation is between 2x and 10x as fast for the sorts of StringRegExp tests that I run.

A number of people have already downloaded it.

I would urge poeple who are learning this function to use it.

Fantastic! Thank you very much for this!!!

I was no longer able to use Expresso because it required Microsoft.NET, which was creating a problem on my WinXP machine. So I had to uninstall .NET. Now I can test expressions once again!

Please try http://regex101.com/ it's a very good PCRE regexp testing and debugging resource.

Frustrated! 

$line_array = StringRegExp("C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat Reader DC", '????????', ?)

I need

Reverse the string.

Look for "\" with StringInStr

Trim the right side from the return of StringinStr

 

In summary

In = C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat Reader DC

Out = Acrobat Reader DC

 

any ideas?
 

[jchd]

Reverse? No.

$PgmName = StringRegExpReplace("C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat Reader DC", '(.*\\)(?=[^\\]*)', '')
