$str = 'Lu. ace / try editOther UsesResale Price: ~1,292 - 1,420 edt'
 ConsoleWrite(StringRegExpReplace($str, '\\w{4,}|\\d', '') & @CRLF)

Mega

Edit : the f... code or Autoit tags remove the \. the pattern is = \w{4,}|\d

Edit 2 : I escaped the \ by another \

#include <Array.au3>

Dim $sStr = "Lu. ace / try editOther UsesResale Price: ~1,292 - 1,420 edt"
Dim $sPatt = "\\b(?:\\w{4,}|\\d[\\d,]{3,})\\b"
Dim $aMatches = StringRegExp($sStr, $sPatt, 3)

If IsArray($aMatches) Then _ArrayDisplay($aMatches)

The thousands separated numbers is a bit problematic but you can come up with a patter that match thousands separated number strings that it at least 1,000 and bigger.

Hi,

no the | means or which in this case is no problem cause both sides should be replaced by "" (emtpy string).

So, the pattern looks for letters included _ with length 4 or higher OR any digit and replaces them with nothing.

P.S.: If the numbers within a , or. or both should be completly replaced then you need to expand the pattern a little bit.

why not?

$str = 'Lu. ace / try editOther UsesResale Price: ~1,292 - 1,420 edt'
ConsoleWrite(StringRegExpReplace($str, '\\w{4,}|\\d|[-~:,]', '') & @CRLF)
