StringRegExpReplace

[jerem488]

I would replace the end of a dynamic text. I have a txt file which change every day.

But at the last of the day, i would check the end of the file.

And while the text is different of "perf" and any digit and "final", he delete characters.

For exemple, my text file is "Temp 45 str ? Cleaning started at 15:30:41 perf 165841 final 2008/12/30-18:27:06.875 ServerLoad[] error=1073 perf 00001 final Logged 15:05 TCD=22118"

I want have ""Temp 45 str ? Cleaning started at 15:30:41 perf 165841 final" and delete " Logged 15:05 TCD=22118"

But same with examples in the help file and in the forum.... I BUG !

Thanks

Maybe this does what you wnat.

$str = "Temp 45 str ? Cleaning started at 15:30:41 perf 165841 final 2008/12/30-18:27:06.875 ServerLoad[] error=1073 perf 00001 final Logged 15:05 TCD=22118"
$ans = StringRegExp($str,"(Temp.*?final)",1)
if @error = 0 then
ConsoleWrite($ans[0] & @CRLF)
;I want have ""Temp 45 str ? Cleaning started at 15:30:41 perf 165841 final"

Well just change it to what you want, you should be able to see how what I did worked, even if it means looking in the help.

$str = "Temp 45 str ? Cleaning started at 15:30:41 perf 165841 final 2008/12/30-18:27:06.875 ServerLoad[] error=1073 perf 00001 final Logged 15:05 TCD=22118"
$ans = StringRegExp($str,"(Temp.*final.*final)",1);find something which consists of "Temp" followed by any number of characters, then "final" then any number of characters, then "final"
if @error = 0 then;if something was found
ConsoleWrite($ans[0] & @CRLF);show me what it was
EndIf

Yes, the return value is almost this. But the start of the string must be unchanged.

Just change the line to:

$ans = StringRegExp($String, '("Temp.*final.*final")', 1)oÝ÷ ÚÚºÚ"µÍÌÍØ[ÈHÝ[ÔYÑ^
    ÌÍÔÝ[Ë ][ÝÊ  ][ÝÉ][ÝÕ[[[[[   ][ÝÉ][ÝÊI][ÝËJ

That's the only difference I see in what you want as output (the surrounding double quotes)

@varian: neither of those suggestions works.

@jerem488

If you just want to add quotation marks then

$str = "Temp 45 str ? Cleaning started at 15:30:41 perf 165841 final 2008/12/30-18:27:06.875 ServerLoad[] error=1073 perf 00001 final Logged 15:05 TCD=22118"
$ans = StringRegExp($str,"(Temp.*final.*final)",1);find something which consists of "Temp" followed by any number of characters, then "final" then any number of characters, then "final"

If @error = 0 then;if something was found
  ConsoleWrite('"' & $ans[0] & '"' & @CRLF);show me what it was
EndIf

Otherwise I don't understand what you mean by "But the start of the string must be unchanged."

Very thanks Martin. But I have great difficulty understanding this function (StringRegExp).

Even your response I don't understand !

Thanks again

I have the good result but how transform the StringRegExp() function in StringRegExpReplace() ??

[Varian]

StringRegExpReplace() will return the changed string only

StringRegExp() will return the matches, the number of matches, and the change(s), depending on the flag

StringRegExpReplace('hot4teacher', \d', '#') returns hot#teacher

StringRegExp('hot4teacher', '\d', 1) returns an array of all matches, in this case, $array[0] = 4

StringRegExp('1a2b3c4d', '\d', 1) returns $array[0] = 1 $array[1]=2 $array[2]=3 $array[3]=4

I thought that the string being read already was surrounded by quotes because of the leading double quote in the first post:

"Temp 45 str ? Cleaning, etc."

Thats why I said to look for the quotes in my regexp

StringRegExp('1a2b3c4d', '\d', 1) returns $array[0] = 1 $array[1]=2 $array[2]=3 $array[3]=4

this does not answer the question. I understood what these functions served

[Varian]

$ans = StringRegExpReplace($Text, " *Logged.*", "")

returns what you want
