strnig parsing

[qwertylol]

4.9.1.2.3.3.4.0.0.4.2.3.4.9.8.4.0.0.0.0.4.2.3.4.9.0.0.0.2.3.8.3.2.

I am trying to parse strings like above,

the rules are:

1) input strings between zeros into separate groups.

2) ignore the 0s unless there are:

a) one of them, ignore 0.

two of them, ignore 0.

c) three of them, input 0.

d) four of them, input 0.0.

e) more than 4 of them, ignore.

so the above string would be parsed as:

1) 4.9.1.2.3.3.4.

2) 4.2.3.4.9.8.4.

3) 0.0.

4) 4.2.3.4.9.

5) 0.

6) 2.3.8.3.2.

how do I do this?

it seems that this is more complicated than String Regular expression can handle

$string = StringRegExp($string, '[^0]{1,}', 3)

I tried that, didn't work.

that's not au3 !

actually, how about:

just separate the non zero portion from the zeros?

from this

4.9.1.2.3.3.4.0.0.4.2.3.4.9.8.4.0.0.0.0.4.2.3.4.9.0.0.0.2.3.8.3.2.

into this

4.9.1.2.3.3.4.

0.0.

4.2.3.4.9.8.4.

0.0.0.0.

4.2.3.4.9.

0.0.0.

2.3.8.3.2.

?

No, but it's the same regexp type of format that autoit uses. Consider this me teaching you how to fish, rather than giving you the fish itself.

Edit:

Here, this will get you started:

#include <array.au3>
$sString = '4.9.1.2.3.3.4.0.0.4.2.3.4.9.8.4.0.0.0.0.4.2.3.4.9.0.0.0.2.3.8.3.2.'
$aArray = StringRegExp($sString, '[1-9\.]+|[0\.]+', 3)
_ArrayDisplay($aArray, 'Output')

aw, I'll have to chew that slowly
