This one will remove leading zero(s) and trailing non digit(s) - if exist $new = StringRegExpReplace($string, '^0*|\D*$', "") Edit : comments You want your regex to have 2 different actions, so an alternation is needed ^0* : zero or more "0" at the beginning of the string | : alternation \D*$ : zero or more non-digit characters at the end of the string

I've made this HTTP lib to simplify HTTP requests, mainly when dealing about POST data or file uploads. Three functions are available: string _HTTP_Get ( string $sURL ) string _HTTP_Post ( string $sURL , string $sPostData ) string _HTTP_Upload ( string $sURL , string $sFilePath , string $sFileField , string $sPostData = '' , string $sFilename = Default) Additionaly, two helper functions are also available: URLEncode($sStr) URLDecode($sStr) Full documentation: https://github.com/jesobreira/HTTP.au3/blob/master/README.md Fork me on Github: https://github.com/jesobreira/HTTP.au3 Download lib + docs: https://github.com/jesobreira/HTTP.au3/archive/master.zip

Welcome to the forum. I would eliminate the long Sleeps and look into using timers or AdlibRegister instead. Also, you probably need to move the line $Minutes = GUICtrlRead ($Limit) to after the Case $Finale

This is because your Sleep statement only sleeps for a second. Please re-read the help file for Sleep Just noticed the second Sleep statement

iamtheky, Very smart non-regex way I made a regex-oriented answer because ... of the title of the topic. Nothing personal caramen, The help file provides explicit details and explanations about the syntax, and should constantly be used as reference and be read carefully to avoid confusion Examples : ^0* : zero or more digit at the beginning of the string This is false. "0" means only 0 . A digit is \d, or [0-9], or [[:digit:]] (all the same) Ditto for ^ , which matches "start of string" but is also used inside a character class to negate its content So to match any non-digit, you might use \D , or [^0-9] , or [[:^digit:]]

first use _WinAPI_EnumDisplayMonitors() example from HelpFIle: #include <Array.au3> #include <WinAPIGdi.au3> Local $aPos, $aData = _WinAPI_EnumDisplayMonitors() If IsArray($aData) Then ReDim $aData[$aData[0][0] + 1][5] For $i = 1 To $aData[0][0] $aPos = _WinAPI_GetPosFromRect($aData[$i][1]) For $j = 0 To 3 $aData[$i][$j + 1] = $aPos[$j] Next Next EndIf _ArrayDisplay($aData, '_WinAPI_EnumDisplayMonitors') You will be able to get information about desktop on both monitors . Then try to use this example: #include <WinAPIGdi.au3> ; To check how this work on "Dual Monitor" just move your mouse to second monitor and run this script again _Example() Func _Example() ; get mouse coordinates Local $tPos = _WinAPI_GetMousePos() ConsoleWrite('MouseX = ' & DllStructGetData($tPos, 1) & @CRLF) ConsoleWrite('MouseY = ' & DllStructGetData($tPos, 2) & @CRLF) ; get $hMonitor from previously defined Mouse coordinates Local $hMonitor = _WinAPI_MonitorFromPoint($tPos) ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') : $hMonitor = ' & $hMonitor & @CRLF & '>Error code: ' & @error & ' Extended code: 0x' & Hex(@extended) & @CRLF) ;### Debug Console ; get monitor $aData appropriate for previously defined coordinates Local $aData = _WinAPI_GetMonitorInfo($hMonitor) If Not @error Then ConsoleWrite('Handle: ' & $hMonitor & @CRLF) ConsoleWrite('Rectangle: ' & DllStructGetData($aData[0], 1) & ', ' & DllStructGetData($aData[0], 2) & ', ' & DllStructGetData($aData[0], 3) & ', ' & DllStructGetData($aData[0], 4) & @CRLF) ConsoleWrite('Work area: ' & DllStructGetData($aData[1], 1) & ', ' & DllStructGetData($aData[1], 2) & ', ' & DllStructGetData($aData[1], 3) & ', ' & DllStructGetData($aData[1], 4) & @CRLF) ConsoleWrite('Primary: ' & $aData[2] & @CRLF) ConsoleWrite('Device name: ' & $aData[3] & @CRLF) EndIf EndFunc ;==>_Example to get "Work area:" for for each monitor.
