Retrieve whats between [ ] in a string.

[jiglei]

Hello. Once again im stuck within a problem that seems to be easy to solve... But I can't find anywhere how...

Here it goes:

I'm having Winlist to detect how many windows with a certain title exist, and then I make ControlGetText to check the text within those windows.

And then, when a certain text is found in the window, I want it to return me some text that is included in the window title, that for this case, is beetween [ ].

I'll give you this part of my script so that you can understand what i pretend, better:

$var = WinList("Wintitle")
    For $i = 1 to $var[0][0]
        $sText=ControlGetText($var[$i][0],"",606)
        If Stringinstr($sText, "The Text") Then "Tell Me whats beetween [] on $var[$i][0]"

Now I have no idea what to do so that autoit returns whats in the title, i can get the title, since it is $var[$i][0] but how can I make it to return ONLY whats beetween [ ] on the title? The title is something like: [This is what should be returned] "Other Stuff on the tile......"

Thanks for your attention, hope you can help me out with this, since this is stopping me from finishing my code .

EDIT: I've found another way to pass through my problem, but anyways I'd like to know how to pass this if this ever comes to me, Knowledge is never too much .

Dim $aMatch = StringRegExp($var[$i][0], '\[([^]]*)\]', 1)
If IsArray($aMatch) Then $sText = $aMatch[0]

You could also use StringInStr and StringLeft or anything else to extract the substring from the string.

Should be able to use _StringBetween() Func too.
