Help about strings..

[AyJay]

i have a string that is

11111111111111111111

11111111111111111111

11111111111111111111

in an edit box for example, and when i click a button, i want it to display

11 11 11 11 11 11 11 11

11 11 11 11 11 11 11 11

11 11 11 11 11 11 11 11

in the edit box, how would i do that?

Thanks.

Somthing like this:

$newdata = StringRegExpReplace($data, "(\d{2})", "\1 ")

[AyJay]

umm, can you explain how that works? and how do u do it for other numbers? like '12345678900987654321'. i tried searching for it in the help file, but no topics, might be old hh.

Grab a beta newer than 3.2.1.8 ( I think) StringRegExp And StringRegExpReplace was out for a while.

Depending on how old your version of autoit you have it should work. If you cant find it in the help file you have to go to the online docs (but be warned the regexp engine has changed).

\d matches digits. So you get a match everytime you have to digits. The two digits are placed in \1 so the replace string will give you two digits and a space.

Then there is some global searching flags you have to figure out and probably a descission to make about an array.

ahh yes, now it does spaces all letters, thanks again.

[AyJay]

hmm, how do u do Letters and digits?

i tried [:alnum:] but no luck, or maybe im doing it wrong..

[theguy0000]

you should be using something like this

$newdata = StringRegExpReplace($data, "([:alnum:]{2})", "\1 ")

[AyJay]

doesn't seem to make any spaces though.

[:alnum:] is the same as /w and /d together. so how do u just do /w and /d?

[theguy0000]

this seems to work.......

$newdata = StringRegExpReplace($data, "(\d{2}|\w{2})", "\1 ")

[AyJay]

Thanks, it works perfectly.
