Extract MP3 URLs from a text

[b0x4it]

How can I extract MP3 URLs from a text that is in the clipboard?

I tried this with no luck:

#include <Array.au3> ;Only for _ArrayDisplay

$gs_Html = ClipGet()

$aString = StringRegExp($gs_Html, "http://(.*)/.*\.mp3", 3)

_ArrayDisplay($aString)

Any suggestion would be appreciated!

This would work:

#include <Array.au3>
$sText = 'http://google.com/Song1.mp3' & @LF
$sText &= 'http://google.com/Song2.mp3'
$iArray = StringRegExp($sText, '(?im)http:// .* / (.*.mp3)', 3)
If Not @error Then _ArrayDisplay($iArray)

EDIT...You may need to popup this snippet to read the code..the site thinks that it is a media link

EDIT EDIT: I had to add a space after the http://, .*, & /..remove them to run the code

Another way to skin the cat..

#include <String.au3>

Local $Start = "http://", $End = ".mp3", _
      $String  = "This is just text before the URL you want http://example.com/asong.mp3.", _
      $Array = _StringBetween($String, $Start, $End)

MsgBox(0, "", $Start & $Array[0] & $End)

Thank you for your replies, but none of them extracts the correct urls.

The method in the first reply extracts urls like this:

[0]|01%20-%20Ghara%20Nabood%20-%20Alireza%20Talischi.mp3">01 - Ghara Nabood - Alireza Talischi.mp3

and the second method exracts urls like this:

[1]|intbaran.in/Albums/1390/Aban/index.php?icon=mp3" alt="" /> &nbsp;<a href="http://intbaran.in/Albums/1390/Aban/2/Minor/Minor%20Music%20Group%20-%20Top%2010/02%20-%20Alireza%20Talischi%20-%20Taghvim

any suggestion?

Try the regular expression way but exclude results that contain a ? as those will be php arguments to the URI and not links directly to an MP3 file.

What is the address of the webpage?

Thanks for your reply. I tried to learn regular expression, but I couldn't. The web site is :

http://www.musicbaran.org/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=8077

I appreciate if you can fix it for me.

Also do you have any document or web page with very simple tutorial and examples of regular expression?

Thanks

[gruntydatsun]

I'll try. Not much of an expert but I've been learning too.

That is one aggressively designed website lol !

b0x4it, gruntydatsun,

I have used this site to learn what little I know about SREs - everyone I have pointed to it in the past has found it very useful.

#include <IE.au3>
#include <String.au3>
#include <Array.au3>
$oIE = _IECreate ("http://www.musicbaran.org/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=8077",0,0) ;create IE instance and load Webmail
$text = _IEBodyReadHTML($oIE)
_IEQuit($oIE)
$array = StringRegExp($text,'a href="(http://.*.mp3"',3)
_ArrayDisplay($array)

the regex split out is:

' a h r e f = " ( h t t p : / / . * . m p 3 ) " '

Sorry about the constant updating but it was replacing the h t t p : / / . * . m p 3 with media tags and showing a media player interface.

Thanks for all the replies, but I don't want to use IE, as the purpose is that to be able to do this on any web page that the source code is in the clipboard. Any other solution?

[gruntydatsun]

#include <Array.au3>
$text = ClipGet()
$array = StringRegExp($text,'a href="(http://.*.mp3"',3)
_ArrayDisplay($array)

Thanks for the reply, but something is wrong with the code. It does not run!

[gruntydatsun]

Typo. This works.

i left out the closing bracket after the mp3 bit.

sick of trying to get this onto the page without the media player stuff popping up.

thanks for the reply. It works for most cases but in some cases it extracts urls incorrectly like this:

[0]|http://yaser3h.persiangig.com/audio/Shahriyar%20Ebrahimi%20-%20Aye%20yaas.mp3">لینک دانلود شهریار ابراهیمی</a>&nbsp; -&nbsp; </font></font></font></font></font><a href="http://yaser3h.persiangig.com/audio/Farzad%20Farzin%20-%20Midoonam.mp3

any suggestion?

thanks in advance

What is the URL is doesn't work on?

The web page is:

http://www.musicbaran.org/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=8077

it should find

http://yaser3h.persiangig.com/audio/Shahriyar%20Ebrahimi%20-%20Aye%20yaas.mp3

as well as

http://yaser3h.persiangig.com/audio/Farzad%20Farzin%20-%20Midoonam.mp3

instead of this one:

[0]|http://yaser3h.persiangig.com/audio/Shahriyar%20Ebrahimi%20-%20Aye%20yaas.mp3">لینک دانلود شهریار ابراهیمی</a>&nbsp; -&nbsp; </font></font></font></font></font><a href="

any idea?

[b0x4it]

Sorry this is the url:

http://www.ganja2music123.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=2555

[gruntydatsun]

hi box4it,

http://yaser3h.per siangig.c om /audio/ is using relative addressing in the background, not absolute so no http: or domain for the regex to match in the link.

My brain is dead. Awake too long. Need sleep.

[b0x4it]

sure, thanks for all your help. I'm trying to find a way using _StringBetween function.

good night

The bad link is wrapped in some non-English character set. Maybe the regex is choking on that or something? Not sure. Wait till the smart people get online and they wil probably help you.
