Uten Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Now that topic tile was probably not self describing. This is what I want. $r = StringRegExpReplace('This is a test "regarding" "back references" in a string', '"regarding"|"back references"', "$arg[\??]") if $r = "This is a test $arg[1] $arg[2] in a string" Then ; OK It works Else ; hrmf, is it impossible? EndIF Replace \?? so it will return the back reference number (match number?) in the regexp pattern. I think I have seen this in a sed script, and it might be possibly in perl. But does anyone know how to do it in pcre/Autoit? Please keep your sig. small! Use the help file. Search the forum. Then ask unresolved questions :) Script plugin demo, Simple Trace udf, TrayMenuEx udf, IOChatter demo, freebasic multithreaded dll sample, PostMessage, Aspell, Code profiling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenobiologist Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Hi, do you mean this? $r = StringRegExpReplace('This is a test "regarding" "back references" in a string', '"regarding"|"back references"', "$arg[$0$1]") ConsoleWrite($r & @CRLF) So long, Mega Scripts & functions Organize Includes Let Scite organize the include files Yahtzee The game "Yahtzee" (Kniffel, DiceLion) LoginWrapper Secure scripts by adding a query (authentication) _RunOnlyOnThis UDF Make sure that a script can only be executed on ...

Uten Posted June 12, 2007 Author Share Posted June 12, 2007 No not exactly. I want to get the number of the back reference (hmm, at least I think thats what I want.. ). The test should pass. if $r = "This is a test $arg[1] $arg[2] in a string" Then Please keep your sig. small! Use the help file. Search the forum.

The test should pass. if $r = "This is a test $arg[1] $arg[2] in a string" Then HI, I do not get the sense in that. If you know you replace two strings then why not just write it the way it is?

Uten Posted June 12, 2007 Author Share Posted June 12, 2007 I want to parse and replace with variable references. I tried to provide the simplest possible test case. But I understand it might not have been to good or make sense to others. Thanks for your input anyway. Actually I did not remember that $1..$9 (I'm using \1--\9)was the back reference in Autoit (and it is not documented as fare as I can see now) but I also think that $0$1 returns an unexpected result? Why don't this work? $r = StringRegExpReplace('This is a test "regarding" "back references" in a string', '"regarding"|"back references"', "$arg[$1]") ConsoleWrite($r & @CRLF) Please keep your sig. small!

Sokko Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 (edited) Actually I did not remember that $1..$9 (I'm using \1--\9)was the back reference in Autoit (and it is not documented as fare as I can see now)It's 0 to 9, not 1 to 9. Both $ and \ are valid for back-references in StringRegExpReplace and they are both documented in the parameters section. In this case you have only one group in the pattern, so 0 is the only back-reference that makes sense.(EDIT: Forum eats backslash-zero) Edited June 12, 2007 by Sokko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCreatoR Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 I think what you mean, is that will be multireplacment for all founded strings...
