StringRegExpReplace Help

[maxilla]

I have a text in the format "TeamA V. TeamB" (without quotes)

i want to split the text into two values using StringRegExpReplace like

$part1="TeamA"

$part2="TeamB"

ie part1 containts text upto "V."

part2 containts text after "V."

Also V. should be case in-sensitive(V. or v.)

please help...

First, what did you try? If you show that you put some effort into it yourself you might get more help.

Second, why not use StringSplit()?

/edit: ok, StringSplit does not work case-insensitively I think... How about third: why not use StringInStr()?)

People here will generally give you suggestions or corrections if you post what you have tried so far. Again, my suggestion would be to go through them with StringInStr (it will give you the index of a substring in another string), and then get the left part up to this index in one var, and the right part from the end of the substring in another var?

So being a noob is reason to write the code for you without an ounce of effort on your part?... I would think that would be reserved for those that show effort on a consistent basis.

Not atext file n all...just one line stored in a varible $Fulltext

I got location of "V." from left and using stringtrimleft to get part A

how to get location of "V." from right so that i can use stringtrimright and get part B???

I hate cloak and dagger.

#include <array.au3>
$sString = 'TeamA V. TeamB'
$aArray = StringRegExp($sString, '(?s)(?i).*?(Team.)\s+V\.\s+(Team.)', 3)
_ArrayDisplay($aArray, '')

Time to start reading on what this does.

Don't use StringTrim for this, since it in your case erases parts of the string that you still need. Instead, use StringLeft for reading the left part, and StringRight or StringMid to read the right part (you will need StringLen too to know how many characters from the right side you will need).

Try to understand the regex, it is pretty easy in the given example.

NO stringtrim is enough ...

$len=StringLen($fulltext) 
$loc = StringInStr($fulltext,"V.")
$locr = $len-$loc
$partA = StringTrimLeft($fulltext, $loc+1)
$partB= StringTrimRight($fulltext, $locr+1)

Thankssssssss.....

Thankssssssss.....

Hey nice...

or if you're lazy (as i am) you could just:

Dim $thestring = 'TeamA V. TeamB',$anarray
$anarray = StringSplit($thestring,' V. ',1)
For $x = 1 to $anarray[0]
MsgBox(0,"Element " & $x,$anarray[$x])
Next

Or is stringsplit already case-INsensitive? Just tried it to be sure, but it seems indeed case-INsensitive! I didn't expect this since it is mentioned nowhere in the help file... I consider this an omission

Sorry for my last post, I only tested my own code and that worked too

I assumed based on the amount of data that it was being generated programatically so case would be uniform....
