gcue Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 (edited) hello. i am looking through several paths to files and some of them have command line switches i have some luck with _pathsplit but not entirely with some of the paths so id rather use stringregexp here's what i have so far: #include <array.au3> $string = "c:\program files\program\autoit.exe help" $array = StringRegExp($string, "(?i)exe\s\S*", 1) _ArrayDisplay($array) i am trying to strip away anything after the file name at the end of any path (so trying to strip out all the command line switches some have "/", "-" or just a word by itself).. usually the file name at the end is an .exe but can be any file type Edited March 3, 2011 by gcue
guinness Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 (edited) Search WinAPIEx.au3 by Yashied and look for _WinAPI_PathRemoveArgs()I know you want something in SRE but for now API is a quick alternative until a SRE expert shows up Edit: Look at StringRegExpReplace() instead.

guinness Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 (edited) I edited my post in the meantime, Sorry.

gcue Posted March 2, 2011 Author Posted March 2, 2011 (edited) yep that def seems like it would work betterbut i cant get different filetypes to work and at the same time exclude the actual extension$string = "c:\program files\program\autoit.exe help" $string = StringRegExpReplace($string, "(?i)exe\s\S*", "")outputs c:\program files\program\autoit. because its counting in the "exe" extension. and aside from that code only works with exe extensions Edited March 3, 2011 by gcue
gcue Posted March 3, 2011 Author Posted March 3, 2011 (edited) _pathsplit doesnt seem to work well when the path has command line switches.. results are inconsistent depending on the switch used before the command "-help", "/help", " help" c:\program files\program\autoit.exe /help array output [2] \program files\program\autoit.exe / [3] help c:\program files\program\autoit.exe -help array output [2] \program files\program\ [3] autoit [4] .exe -help c:\program files\program\autoit.exe help array output [2] \program files\program\ [3] autoit [4] .exe help would be nice if pathsplit had another variable for command line switches Dim $szDrive, $szDir, $szFName, $szExt, $szCmd Edited March 3, 2011 by gcue
