String Manipulation

Hmm...

Local $a_phone = StringRegExp($s_string, "\d+", 1)
If Not @error Then MsgBox(64, "Number", $a_phone[0])

So much to learn so little time the power off the '+' Ant..

[anixon]

Given the power of the '+' in this code how would you delete a tab CRLF Whitespace etc should it be present at the beginning of the text

$text = " This is an example of"

$sMessage = StringRegExpReplace($text, "\s+", " ")

StringRegExpReplace($s_string, "(?s)^(\s+)(.*?\z)", "\2")

StringRegExpReplace($s_string, "(?s)^(\s+)(.*?\z)", "\2")

Sorry that does not quite work as it leaves in a carriage return Ant..

The carriage return is at the beginning?

If you're trying to get rid of all carriage returns, this will do it:

StringRegExpReplace($s_string, "[\r\n]+", "")

Or StringStripCR()

Or StringReplace($s_string, @CR, ""), StringReplace($s_string, @LF, "")

My code I posted would remove any space that started at the beginning of the string?

Thanks for the reply the code I posted replaces everything that is applicable to to the \s+ flag with a " " space' with the exception that where the first character in the string is a space 'Whitespace?' it is not removed

$text = "This is an example

of A"

$text = " This is an example of B"

$sMessage = StringRegExpReplace($text, "\s+", " ")

The result would be as follows:

'This is an example A

' This is an example B

'This is an example A

' This is an example B

The use of the ' is so as to demonstrate that the text is not left justified because of the space

The desired result would all text left justified with single spaces between text and no carage returns as follows:

This is an example A

This is an example B

This is an example A

This is an example B

Problem resolved with this code

CODE

$Text = " This is a copy

of text with leading whitespaces and @CRLF"

$Txt = StringStripWS(StringRegExpReplace($text, "\s+", " "), 1)

Result: This is a copy of text with leading whitespaces and @CRLF"

Thanks to those who contributed to this thread... Ant..
