I need to extrat from a string

002342342004234042342340

essentially what I am doing is to get the numbers between zeros, and then check if they match a string.

how do I extract non-zero blocks into separate variable?

Hi,

#include<array.au3>
$str = '002342342004234042342340'
$matches = StringRegExp($str, '[^0]{1,}', 3)
_ArrayDisplay($matches, 'found')

So long,

Might be easier to use StringSplit(). It will return an array and the count is in $avArray[0]:

#include <array.au3>

$Input = "002342342004234042342340"

Do
    $Input = StringReplace($Input, "00", "0")
Until Not @extended
$avArray = StringSplit($Input, "0")

_ArrayDisplay($avArray, "Results")

Hi,

or something like:

#include<array.au3>
$str = '002342342004234042342340'
$matches = StringRegExp($str, '[^0]+', 3)
_ArrayInsert($matches, 0, UBound($matches) + 1)
_ArrayDisplay($matches, 'found')

So long,

#include<array.au3>
$str = '002342342004234042342340'
$matches = StringRegExp($str, '[^0]+', 3)
_ArrayInsert($matches, 0, UBound($matches) + 1)
_ArrayDisplay($matches, 'found')

Nice and tight. But don't you want the added value to be just UBound($matches), without the +1?

Arrays with item counts in element 0 are usually $avArray[0] = Ubound($avArray) - 1

But since you are adding one element, it becomes just Ubound($avArray), I think...
