Split string (An easy question, i think?)

[disney]

Hello!

I think this is a easy question?

The goal is to just get the date from this string.

I want to split this string:

"Open 2008-05-01 12:28 by Hans Zettberg/AVDL/RITTS"

I managed to get the "Open" in the beginning by writing:

StringTrimLeft($calldate, 5)

But the problem is that the other part dosent have a fixed chars count.

The first part is always 5 chars.

"Open "

but the last part " 12:28 by Hans Zettberg/AVDL/RITTS" can be diffrent

for exemple:

" 12:28 by Hassefels Deflindogro /ADDS/RISSST"

The best thing would be to cut the string after 10 chars. So i finally only get the date.

I'm sure that this problem have a simple solution, but i don't know it.

Thanks from Hans / Sweden

Global $string = "Open 2008-05-01 12:28 by Hans Zettberg/AVDL/RITTS"
$re = StringRegExp($string, '[\d*-]+.*\d\d:\d\d', 3)
ConsoleWrite($re[0] & @CRLF)

Hi,

$sString1 = 'Open 2008-05-01 12:28 by Hans Zettberg/AVDL/RITTS'

$sString2 = 'Open 2008-05-01 12:28 by Hans Zettberg/AVDL/RITTS' & @CRLF & _
            'Open 2008-05-01 12:28 by Hassefels Deflindogro /ADDS/RISSST'
; for single line.
$aStringParts = StringRegExp($sString1, '(\w*?\s\d*-\d*-\d*)|(\d*:\d*\s.*\r?)', 3)
MsgBox(266304, Default, 'First part of the string is:  ' & $aStringParts[0] & @CRLF & _
                        'Second part of the string is: ' & $aStringParts[2])
; for multi line.
$aStringParts = StringRegExp($sString2, '(\w*?\s\d*-\d*-\d*)|(\d*:\d*\s.*\r?)', 3)
MsgBox(266304, Default, 'First part of the 1st line is:  ' & $aStringParts[0] & @CRLF & _
                        'Second part of the 1st line is: ' & $aStringParts[2] & @CRLF & @CRLF & _
                        'First part of the 2nd line is: ' & $aStringParts[3] & @CRLF & _
                        'Second part of the 2nd line is: ' & $aStringParts[5])
