string trim question (Solved)

[John117]

hey if I have string

13215458Applesdfsdfsdfsd

6846465416Applesefsdfsdfsdfsdf

How would I code this to insure that the return is always apple?

And what if it was

465465464654

6565Apple56354654

54654646

And I only wanted it to be apple? btw this is an edit box value

If what you want is to return apple if the word apple is in the string then use

If StringInStr($string_to_search,"apple") then result = "apple"

Is that what you mean?

I thought of that, then I figured if he knew it was apple, then why would he want to "get" apple from the list...

Gues he wants to know if apple is in the list...

You can split the numbers from the letters like this:

#include <Array.au3>
$string = "6846465416Applesefsdfsdfsdfsdf"
$fileNameArray = StringRegExp($string, "(\d*)(\D*)", 1)
_ArrayDisplay($fileNameArray)
