What pattern do I use to filter out the text 'type' in the below string.

Forgive me as I'm just starting out in this function.

text | number | type;

Pretty sure I've given this to you before.

However, you're question is not really thought out well.

1. Is it always at the beginning of the string?

2. Is it always named "text"?

3. Is it always delimited by "|"?

The answer to your question could be:

StringRegExpReplace("text | number | type;", "^text\s\|", "")

Or

StringRegExpReplace("text | number | type;", "^.*?\|", "")

But to be exactly what you want... you have to explain "Exactly" what you want.

Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer.

Yes

No, it usually varies. (I may have not explained it clear in my first post but I want to retrieve the text "type")

3. Is it always delimited by "|"?

Yes

Err... help? I already gave the answer with the 2nd StringRegExpReplace() :)
