StringRegExp help

[brodie28]

I remember there used to be a good tutorial on how to use it around but I was unable to find it...

Anyway, my script is looking at the source of a webpage. In the source, this occurs:

<br><br>This Hand: $-2500

What I am interested in returning is the dollar value. The dollar sign and everything before it is always the same, but the negative sign only shows up for negative numbers. the 2500 can be any number between -1000000 and 1000000.

How do I go about finding this number?

$string = "This Hand: $-2500e"
$array = StringRegExp($string,"This Hand: \$(-?\d*)", 3)
MsgBox(0,"",$array[0])

Anyone developed a RegEx Builder/Test tool similar to Expresso in AutoIt (yet) ?

Thankx. Do you use a external search to locate forum posts? I am probably not the only one finding the internal forum search unreliable.

No I use the builtin search. You have to be very explicit i.e. +regular +expression
