RegEx - Matching starting element

[jinbaba]

Hello Folks,

I want to write a regex that finds if the given string starts and ends with character " (double qoute)

e.g.

If string is "***" then

Return True

Else

; Do something else.

I wrote small code

Local $Pcap = '"E:\edonkey.pcap"'
Local $retVal = StringRegExp($Pcap, '"\S+"', 0)

;Local $retVal = StringRegExp($Pcap, '\S+"', 0)

MsgBox(0, "Search Result", "Return value is: " & $retVal)

The problem is, it always returns 0 (no match). But if I remove the double qoute char at beginning of regex it works. As done in commented line.

The question is why it is not matching initial double qoute. I tried escaping ", but it didn't worked.

Any help in resolving this issue.

Thanx

Jinbaba

there is no capture group... try this:

Local $Pcap = '"E:\edonkey.pcap"'
Local $retVal = StringRegExp($Pcap, '"(\S+)"', 0)
MsgBox(0, "Search Result", "Return value is: " & $retVal)
