Uten Posted April 13, 2006 Posted April 13, 2006 I'm having trouble matching patterns specified to one line. This sample code is rather specific and I can extract the lines by using some of the other words, but that is not the point. I want to understand how I can write my pattern to match something starting on a line and ending on the same line. #include <Array.au3> ; Sample found in nutsters RegExp_Test_4.au3 if not StringRegExp("Theee always was work.", "^The*\s+\w+ was \w+[.]$", 0 ) then msgbox(16, "ERROR:","StringRegExp: Faield") Exit endif ; === My code ===================== $data = "This is a expected test line" & @CRLF & _ "And This is Not a expected line" & @CRLF & _ "This is the second expected msg" & @CRLF & _ "This is not wanted" $regexp ="(^This.*$)" $arr = StringRegExp($data, $regexp,3) ConsoleWrite("@error:=" & @error & ", @extended:=" & @extended & " , Ubound($arr):=" & UBound($arr) & @CRLF) _ArrayDisplay($arr, "MSG") ConsoleWrite("EXIT") According to nutster ^ and $ was planed to be documented but I can't find it in the help file v3.1.1.118(beta) That is how it is supposed to work. As I said, I will look into this when my computer is working again, later this week. I am sure that I put ^ and $ in the documentation. I will look at this too. And in this post. ^ and $ should work, but does it when you want to get the matches in an array? Hello, You could use RegExp but I agree that the syntax is a little hard. To explain the Good Syntax ^T String begins with T .* one and more char \. the char "." t . one char t $ End of the string HTH, Francis #include <Misc.au3> $MyFile = "Test.txt" $Good = "^T.*\.t.t$" $NotGood= "^A.*\.t.t$" ; First test Msgbox( 1 , " ", _iif(StringRegExp( $MyFile , $Good )," = " ," != " )) ; Second Msgbox( 1 , " ", _iif(StringRegExp( $MyFile , $NotGood )," = " ," != " )) Please keep your sig. small!

Uten Posted April 13, 2006 Author Posted April 13, 2006 hmm, no takers on this? Probably somthing I do or don't do Please keep your sig. small! Use the help file. Search the forum.

Uten Posted May 8, 2006 Author Posted May 8, 2006 Sorry to dredge this thread back up... but anyone know if this is going to be implemented?@neogia has explained it very well in his stringregex tutorial thread. As it turns out the Regex implementation in AutoIt treats everything passed to the function as "one string" (including @LF, @CR and @CRLF). So someone used to sed or awk will kind of have to turn and twist his head a bit to get it right So if you want it (by lines) to behave as sed or awk (perl) you have to splitt the data into strings delimited by @CRLF (Or @LF, @CR) and then pass each string on to the StringRegEx function. Please keep your sig. small! Use the help file. Search the forum.

Simucal Posted May 8, 2006 Posted May 8, 2006 Thanks for the reply Uten. The splitting the strings by @CRLF and feeding them to the stringreg will work fine then. -Sim AutoIt Scripts:Aimbot: Proof of Concept - PixelSearching Aimbot with several search/autoshoot/lock-on techniques.Sliding Toolbar - Add a nice Sliding Toolbar to your next script.
