StringRegExp help


Recommended Posts

I'm not getting something about StringRegEXP flag values....

$result = StringRegExp("aeiou", "[a-z]", 3 )

MsgBox(0x1000, "extended", @extended)
MsgBox(0x1000, "isArray", IsArray($result))

I thought that if @Extended is true (1), then $result should be an array....

Tried AutoIt 3.1.1.113 and 3.1.1.125 on WinXP Pro sp2

Edit: corrected AutoIt version info

looks like a contradiction between the documentation for the flag and extended

3 Perform a global search, checking the entire string, returning an array of all results. Check @Extended to determine whether the pattern matched or not.

1 (true) Match found. Return value is an array of all group values. If there are no groups in the pattern, the function returns "" (empty string).

Don't argue with an idiot; people watching may not be able to tell the difference.

(1) shows a wrong flag when the expression is written incorrectly I believe
$result = StringRegExp("aeiou", "([a-z])", 3 )
If @extended And IsArray($result) Then
    For $i = 0 To UBound($result) - 1
        MsgBox(64, 'Info:', $result[$i])
    Next
EndIf

Edit:

Gary's second quote was what I was getting at, that's what I meant other than "incorrectly".

Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer.
