Hi folks, Thank you so much in advance for your help! I've been using AUTOIT for manipulating gcode. So far I've just worked through the excellent help examples and although I'm sure the resulting code is clumsy it has functioned However now I'm trying to improve and advance things and I've stumbled across REGEX.. and I'm a bit stuck. What I would like to be able to do is to 'move'/'transform' the gcode in a file and re-write it to a new file. I only need to move it in one direction(X). At the heart of this I need a script to extract all the X values and then ADD or SUBTRACT an adjustment factor to transform and rewrite the code accordingly. So far using an example script and an example input - Func Test2() Local $iMove = -4 Local $sInput = '"G1 X45.036 Y6.934 F7800.000 G1 Z0.600 F7800.000 G1 F900 G1 X48.036 Y1.076 E0.58925"' Local $sOutput = StringRegExpReplace($sInput, '(?<=[X])\d+.\d+', '\0') Display($sInput, $sOutput) EndFunc ;==>Test2 This identifies the correct values i.e 45.036 and 48.036 but is there a way to dyamically adjust them before they are replaced, by for example a factor of -4 ($iMove above). So far I can't seem to do math on the '\0' value i.e '\0'+ -4 ? Many thanks for your time and expertise!

I often copy text from a website or pdf into a variable and once in a while pasting it back into WordPad gives weird results. It used to originate more frequently within larger Facebook texts or YouTube comments. One example from a pdf is where bullets were changed into a corner like character, etc. I assume many of these could be control characters? What is the best way to filter them out, please? From reading in the manual, my only guess was something like the following, but it seems to do nothing (not sure though, and less easy to test for me...). $text = StringRegExpReplace ( $text, '[[:cntrl:]]', "" ) Or is it something with [:print:] ? (meaning, "give me only the characters that would normally print?") I don't mind if your solution removes Returns too (though ideally not), cause I usually remove those myself. Thank You for any pointers!

i am trying to get number from string using this code : #include <IE.au3> $oIE = _IEAttach ("Edu.corner") Local $aName = "Student name & Code:", $iaName = "0" Local $oTds = _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE, "td") For $oTd In $oTds If $oTd.InnerText = $aName Then $iaName = $oTd.NextElementSibling.InnerText $iGet = StringRegExpReplace($iaName, "\D", "") EndIf Next MsgBox(0, "", $iGet) it was get number like 52503058 But, I want to get only student code 5250. (Different student have different code, sometime its 3 digits, Sometime 4)

I am adding labour charge to total paid amount using : #include <IE.au3> #include <Array.au3> $oIE = _IEAttach ("Shop") $oTable = _IETableGetCollection ($oIE, 1) $aTableData3 = _IETableWriteToArray ($oTable) Local $sitem1 = $aTableData3[5][1] Local $sitem2 = $aTableData3[5][2] Local $lcharge = "10" ;add manualy using inputbox, becuase not generating online Local $atotPric = "Payable Total Price " Local $oTds = _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE, "td") For $oTd In $oTds If $oTd.Innertext = $atotPric Then $iatotPric = $oTd.NextElementSibling.innertext MsgBox (0, "2", $iatotPric) EndIf Next $irCtotal = StringFormat("%.2f", $sitem1 + $sitem2 + $lcharge) $crTotp = StringReplace(_IEBodyReadHTML($oIE), $iatotPric, $irCtotal) _IEBodyWriteHTML ($oIE, $crTotp) But, It was also changing Total price, I want to change only Payable Total Price.

hello sirs i've some questions about StringRegExpReplace i hope you can help me i tried to make a function that give me the host of the url and other give me the url with out host for example i've this link https://www.example.com/vb/result.php i need the first give me the example.com and the other give me /vb/result.php i find that $s_source = "https://www.google.com/vb/index.php" Local $s_Host = StringRegExpReplace($s_Source, '.*://(.*?)/.*', '\1') Local $s_Page = StringRegExpReplace($s_source, '.*://.*?(/.*)', '\1') msgBox(64, $s_Host, $s_Page) but i found some problems i need your help to correct it first: when i get the host if the url has www i want to remove it second: if the url with out host did not have other things i need the result to be "" e.g https://www.example.com the first i want it example.com and the second i want it to be "" i hope that you can help me thanks in advance

I need some regex help I inherited some data The data is massive and I need a clean, fast solution source is text and complex. I need to find dates such as "31-01-2018" and replace with "31-JAN-2018" Problem is that my regex "31-01-2018" takes for ever and replaces all. The ideal would be to search like this, but I am not managing \d{2}-(01)-\d{4} replace (01) with JAN But if I do it that way, the entire search string gets replaced by JAN. This is not an error, but typically regex behaviour. Any ideas? Skysnake

So I ran into this crazy "program" that cant be uninstalled via WMI, MSIExec, etc. The only way to uninstall it was from Add/Remove programs manually... Or I found if you find it in the registry under HKCU and run the uninstall string, it will also uninstall. However the string in the registry cant be run directly in a cmd window because of the format errors. It has spaces without quotations, it has invalid characters, etc, etc I know things run different when executed in the registry, so maybe there is a way I can run the regsitry key just like how the system does? If so chime in. Otherwise I did this a crude way using several stringregexpreplace() functions and have it working. The solution feels so barbaric and crude that I wanted to post it so some of you guys better than me can clean up the code, maybe offer alternative ways to do it, or reduce the number of times I process the string. Here is the string right out of the registry: c:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VSTO\10.0\VSTOInstaller.exe /Uninstall file:///C:/Users/it022565/AppData/Local/Temp/OOBAXTOWordAddIn/ApplicationXtender.AXTO.Word.vsto Here is my cave man scripting to turn this into a run able string. Func _UninstallOld() For $i = 1 to 100 ;Enumerate Registry $sEnumBase = "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\" ;Look in HKCU for the uninstall string for the old version $sEnum = RegEnumKey($sEnumBase, $i) If @Error Then Return If $iDebug = 1 Then MsgBox(0, "", $sEnum) If StringInStr(RegRead($sEnumBase & $sEnum, "DisplayName"), "Word Addin") Then ExitLoop Next If $iDebug = 1 Then MsgBox(0, "", $sEnum) $sKey = "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\" & $sEnum $sKey2 = RegRead($sKey, "UninstallString") If $iDebug = 1 Then MsgBox(0, "Original Install Location", $sKey2) $sKey3 = StringRegExpReplace($sKey2, "(?i)(c:.*exe)", '"$1"') If $iDebug = 1 Then MsgBox(0, "", $sKey3) $sKey4 = StringRegExpReplace($sKey3, "(?i)file:///", "") If $iDebug = 1 Then MsgBox(0, "", $sKey4) $sKey5 = StringRegExpReplace($sKey4, "%20", " ") If $iDebug = 1 Then MsgBox(0, "", $sKey5) $sKey6 = StringRegExpReplace($sKey5, '(?i)((?<!")c:.*vsto)', '"$1"') If $iDebug = 1 Then MsgBox(0, "", $sKey6) RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /c ' & '"' & $sKey6 & ' /s"', "", @SW_HIDE) EndFunc Basically step by step I add quotations, strip bad characters, etc. Kind of proud for using look behind for once Looking forward to what you guys come up with.

The idea to use translation api: i used the script from @mikell to build this func: Func _Translate($sFrom, $from, $to) ;thanks to mikell (autoitscript.com) ;https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/182893-prompt-me-how-to-see-the-text-in-the-translation-boxhttpstranslategooglecom/?do=findComment&comment=1313423 Local $url = "https://translate.googleapis.com/translate_a/single?client=gtx" $url &= "&sl=" & $from & "&tl=" & $to & "&dt=t&q=" & $sFrom Local $oHTTP = ObjCreate("Microsoft.XMLHTTP") $oHTTP.Open("POST", $url, False) $oHTTP.Send() Local $sData = $oHTTP.ResponseText $sData = StringRegExpReplace($sData, '.*?\["(.*?)"[^\[]*', "$1" & @CRLF) Return $sData EndFunc ;==>_Translate when i call this func with: $sText='AutoIt v3 is a freeware BASIC-like scripting language designed for automating the Windows GUI and general scripting.

AutoIt is also very small, self-contained and will run on all versions of Windows out-of-the-box with no annoying "runtimes" required!' MsgBox(64,'',_Translate($sText,'en','de')) nearly all is seeing here: only the "!" is wrong "\" but when using 'auto' instead of 'en' the result is: 2 lines are appended. So my question is, is it possible to extend the pattern (i never worked with regex) and in best case setting @extended with the detected language? @Trong: as you can see yet i am returning translated text and don't use GuiCtrlSetData to assign it to a EditBox.

I was working on something last night and decided to use StringRegExpReplace() for a config file, I never noticed that you cant just "overwrite" the file with the update so easily it required a few more pieces of code to work properly. Is this the simplest way (what I used) and while I searched for it and did not find it do we have or will we have a RegEx equivalent for _ReplaceStringInFile()? $sFile = FileRead(@ScriptDir & "\test.txt") $hFile = FileOpen(@ScriptDir & "\test.txt", 2) $sNewContent = StringRegExpReplace($sFile, "(test)", "new$1") FileWrite($hFile, $sNewContent) FileClose($hFile)

BackRef UDF Working This UDF is made to provide a small interface towards the StringRegExpReplace Autoit function. The extension is very limited but is an easy approach when used properly. Functions User can pass the complete back-reference to a function.The return value from the function is then used to replace the specific group.The final replacement is flexible and the user has full control over it.The final replacement is done automatically till modification isn't required.The optimization is easy and simple.LimitationsThe pattern has to consume the full string.Example Replace the vowels with their ASCII code #include <BackRef.au3> $i_BackRef_Debug = True ;Set Debug to true ; ..

Regular expressions, I hate them, seriously I have a MAC address in this format: "A2B3B56B7C3A" And I would like to change it in: "A2-B3-B5-6B-7C-3A" The MAC address can be a little longer than that one, but we are sure that the total digit number is an even number. I've tried a lot of patterns but I have not tried the right one. This is the closest one I've tried but the output shows a final hyphen (I could cut it through StringTrimLeft but I would like to do it using just RegEx). ConsoleWrite(StringRegExpReplace("A2B3B56B7C3A", "(.{2})", "$1-")) I don't understand why this pattern doesn't work ConsoleWrite(StringRegExpReplace("A2B3B56B7C3A", "^(?:.{2})(.{2})+?", "-$1")) Thanks in advance

I’m a complete newbie when it comes to using StringRegExp. Although I’ve successfully modified a couple of patterns in existing scripts, I’ve never been sure where to start in formulating a new pattern. Thus, I’ve avoided using them. But now I need to. The string I’d like to recognize and replace is of the form: prekeykey<any characters>post To put it in words, I’m looking for any occurrence of two or more consecutive key strings that are embraced by pre and post strings, regardless of any follow-on characters. The slash characters are part of the individual elements, but could possibly occur on their own. (What makes this doubly confusing is that the slash character is an element of the RegExp syntax.) Examples of strings to be recognized and replaced: prekeykeykeykey post prekeykeykeykeyabcdpost prekeykeypost But neither of the following should be “found”, since the have only one key: prekeypost prekeyabcdpost If someone versed in RegExp’s would be so kind as to provide me with a nudge in the form of a suitable pattern, I might be able to make my way further along the path toward a working knowledge of these things. So far, I’ve looked at 100 examples and can’t get a toehold. Detecting "two consecutive" appears to be a rare requirement. Thanks in advance for any help.

For my application, I have one string that may contain as item pointers a "space + single character/number + )" For example: Some text. 1) blah 2) blah a) yes b) no. I'd like this to become: Some text. (1) blah (2) blah (a) yes (b) no. It seems I understand the use of the back reference $1, but I may not be grasping the functionality of non-capturing groups... I hoped I could use the latter functionality so in the MAIN CODE I would not get the space between '(' and $1 The first code line below now giving me: Some text. ( 1) blah ( 2) blah ( a) yes ( b) no. Local $sOutput = StringRegExpReplace($sInput, '((?:\s).\))', ' ($1' ) As another trial, this doesn't seem to work either: Local $sOutput = StringRegExpReplace($sInput, '(\s.\))', ' (' & StringRight('$1', 2) ) MAIN CODE: Test() Func Test() Local $sInput = 'Some text. 1) blah 2) blah a) yes b) no.' ; look for 'space + any char + )' and put '(' in front Local $sOutput = StringRegExpReplace($sInput, '( (?:\s).\) )' , ' ($1' ) Display($sInput, $sOutput) EndFunc ;==>Test Func Display($sInput, $sOutput) ; Format the output.

Morning It's 5:30 AM and been sitting here staring at the help file but it looks like an alien language to me. I have the following example strings [8]Bird [9]Cat [10]Dog What I want is Bird Cat Dog Now a easy solution would be to just trim it to the left by 3, however there are cases when it could be 4 (example Dog being [10]), so I figured StringRegExpReplace() is what I am going to have to use unless there is a easier/better method. I don't know how or where to start though StringRegExpReplace($String, "[*]", "") Thanks

Hi all i have a big amount of text files that is link this i want it to cut each part alone and the separator is bracket then number then bracket {NUM} so the first one must be i tried this #include <Array.au3> $sString=ClipGet() $sResult=StringRegExpReplace($sString,"(\{\d{1,}\})",@CR & "$1") $sResult=StringRegExpReplace($sResult,"(\r)(.*)","$2",1) ;If you want it in an array add this: $array=StringSplit($sResult,@CR) $var = 1 For $i = 1 To $array[0] FileWrite(@DesktopDir & "\sura\" & $var & ".txt" , $array[$i] & @CRLF) $var = $var + 1 Next it is cutting the text when it see the {NUM} but it is also cutting it when it see a new line i want it to complete the sentence even if it is on 2 lines any ideas ?

Is it possible to left pad a matched group? Here is my situation. I am working on a program to integrate inventory from my companies warehouse with our website. Our part numbers in our Warehouse inventory look like this: 1501895, 1000973, 5000165, 6000002, etc. On our website, these same numbers would look like this: 15-1895, 1-973,5-165, 6-02 My program monitors our warehouse inventory database for changes, and when a change is made it needs to find the matching item on our website. This is the code that I originally used: StringRegExpReplace($new_items[$i][0],"([1-9]{1,2})(0*)(\d{1,4})","$1-$3") However I noticed this does not work for numbers that match my last example. The last matched group needs to be zero padded if the number is less than 10. Does anyone have an idea of where to start for this? Is there a better way than how I have started?
