monte Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 Hello, I can't seem to get stringinstr working when I specify a starting position. Any help would be appreciated. I'm running v3.2.12.0. ;this will get the word woodchuck1 from the following $myString = "How much wood could woodchuck1 chuck if woodchuck2 could chuck wood?" $start = StringInStr($myString, "woodchuck", 0, 1, 19); start at the end of the 1st "could" $end = StringInStr($myString, "woodchuck") + 9; end at end of the 1st woodchuck $myWord = stringmid($myString, $start, $end - $start) MsgBox(0, "Which woodchuck?", $myWord) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators SmOke_N Posted June 7, 2008 Moderators Share Posted June 7, 2008 I saw SmOke_N lurking, and KNEW there was a RegExp in your future! Well of course lol... Thought I'd post a better example... of how to use it (without comments of course ) ;this will get the word woodchuck1 from the following $myString = "How much wood could woodchuck1 chuck if woodchuck2 could chuck wood?" $myword = _StringGetWordInstance($myString, "woodchuck") MsgBox(0, "Which woodchuck?", $myword) $myword2 = _StringGetWordInstance($myString, "woodchuck", 0, 2) MsgBox(0, "Which woodchuck?", $myword2) Func _StringGetWordInstance($sString, $sFind, $vCase = 0, $iInstance = 1) If $vCase = 0 Or $vCase = Default Then $vCase = "(?i)" If $vCase <> "(?i)" Then $vCase = "" Local $aSRE = StringRegExp($sString, "(?s)" & $vCase & _ ".*?(" & $sFind & ".+?)\W", 3) If IsArray($aSRE) = 0 Then Return SetError(1, 0, "") If UBound($aSRE) < $iInstance Then Return SetError(2, 0, "") Return $aSRE[$iInstance - 1] EndFunc Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt...
