StringRegExpReplace vs. StringRegExp (is this a feature ?)

[grham]

Hello,

maybe I don't see anything or I'm doing something wrong?

This is a pattern that matches - correctly - a comma (,) in a string

before a non white space character.

$Res = StringRegExp($String, '(,)(?:\H)', 3)

Non obstant I can't use the same pattern for StringRegExpReplace:

(HelpFile?)

This matches the comma (,) and "non capturing (?:\H)" (both of them)

$String = StringRegExpReplace($String, '(,)(?:\H)', ', ', 0)

I imagine a workaround to accomplish my goal (would not be so hard)

(replace all commas only before a non white space character with a comma + white space)

but could someone tell me, please, if it's a feature of StringRegExpReplace because I didn't find

anything "on the topic"?

Than you.

For example:

$String = "Montag,Dienstag,Mittwoch, Donnerstag,Freitag,Samstag,Sonntag"

Try to put a whitespace after any comma with my "example" so that you don't get

two whitespaces between Mittwoch and Donnerstag. Not: ..., Mittwoch, 'white' 'white' Donnerstag, ..."

==> "Montag, Dienstag, M ...."

I know it can be done in a different way.

Use normal group with backref then:

StringRegExpReplace($String, '(,)(\H)', ', \2', 0)

Hi,

meinst du nicht

#include<Array.au3>
$String = "Montag,Dienstag,Mittwoch, Donnerstag,Freitag,Samstag,Sonntag"
$String = StringRegExpReplace($String, '(,)(?=\H)', ', ')
ConsoleWrite($String & @CRLF)

So long,

P.S.: Habe Samstag mal mit einem m geschrieben.

Use normal group with backref then:

StringRegExpReplace($String, '(,)(\H)', ', \2', 0)

OK, I got it

This works exactly as expected

("lack" in my knowledge)

Siao: Thank you!

Mega: Ooops

(btw., ich bin nicht deutsch, Ich kenne Dich nur aus dem deutschen Forum,

spreche ein bisschen Deutsch)

Danke für "Samstag"!!!!!
