StringRegExpReplace

[mlloz]

is that correct? or how to correct it?

StringRegExpReplace($HostText, '[.(0-9)\t]' & 'Server', $NewIP)

'[.(0-9)\t]' & 'Server' represent an IP Address followed by a tab then the name of the machine,

$NewIP contains the replacement text.

No

Can you post an example of the $HostText content?

[.(0-9)\t] means match ( or ) or 0 or - or 9 or tab or a dot heh.

#include <Array.au3>
Local $sString = "some prefix 89.43.123.165 test some suffix"
$repl="'teste'"
$s=StringRegExpReplace($sString,"[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\ttest" , $repl)
MsgBox(0  , "" , $sString& @CRLF &$s)

Authenticity well, the example of the $HostText is the hosts file in the system directory..

like

192.168.1.12 Client1

#192.168.1.1 Server

89.43.123.165 Server

here I want to replace just the second IP Address with the replacement text.

Xand3r: it doesn't work

Dim $sStr, $sIpPattern, $sNewIP

$sStr = _
'192.168.1.12 Client1' & @CRLF & _
'#192.168.1.1 Server' & @CRLF & _
'89.43.123.165 Server'
$sIpPattern = '\b(?>(?:[01]?\d?\d|25[0-5]|2[0-4]\d)\.){3}(?:[01]?\d?\d|25[0-5]|2[0-4]\d)\b'
$sNewIP = @IPAddress1 & ' server'

ConsoleWrite(StringRegExpReplace($sStr, '(?i)(?m)(?<!^)' & $sIpPattern & '\sserver', $sNewIP) & @LF)oÝ÷ Øâ·l­ê®·¶µÈmâi×kzË(¢~Þqç^u¼«!²('jw_¢YhÁç[Ê+®÷«þ,¨ºf²Á©í¶!jxÛhjëh×6StringRegExpReplace($sStr, '#' & $sIpPattern & '\sserver', $sNewIP)

yes Authenticity, it worked, and its difficult to understand

but i need to change just the second entry, and it replaces all occurrences..

[Authenticity]

Changing only the second one in this string requires only to split it on carriage return and line-feed and changing the second subscript of the array to the new string without using any of the string functions. But comparing to the real file it may not be the second line . You'll need to find another way to uniquely identify the specific line you want to replace.

i'm not going to sleep until i find that way..

[mlloz]

i'm thinking to change my mind
