Regular expression

[Kidamme]

Hello,
I would like to know how I can take this kind of strings with regular expressions:

{724EF170-A42D-4FEF-9F26-B60E846FBA4F}

{9E52AB10-F80D-49DF-ACB8-4330F5687855}

{de61d971-5ebc-4f02-a3a9-6c82895e5c04}

Thanks for everything.

Please explain better what is your goal and what you have done

Kidamme,

Welcome to the AutoIt forum.

When asking about SREs it is important to show both the original text and examples of what you need to extract. At the moment we have only the result - to generate a pattern we normally need to see what surrounds it.

But as you are obviously looking for hex digits in a nice regular pattern, you might like to try this:

#include <Array.au3>

$sString = "blah" & @CRLF & _
           "blah{724EF170-A42D-4FEF-9F26-B60E846FBA4F}blah" & @CRLF & _
           "blah" & @CRLF & _
           "blah{9E52AB10-F80D-49DF-ACB8-4330F5687855}blah" & @CRLF & _
           "blah" & @CRLF & _
           "blah{de61d971-5ebc-4f02-a3a9-6c82895e5c04}blah" & @CRLF & _
           "blah"

$aRet = StringRegExp($sString, "(\{[[:xdigit:]]{8}-[[:xdigit:]]{4}-[[:xdigit:]]{4}-[[:xdigit:]]{4}-[[:xdigit:]]{12}\})", 3)

_ArrayDisplay($aRet)

I hope this works.  If not then please post the original text.

This example is not as specific about which characters and order as Melba23's.

#include <Array.au3>

Local $sString = "blah" & @CRLF & _
        "blah{724EF170-A42D-4FEF-9F26-B60E846FBA4F}blah" & @CRLF & _
        "blah" & @CRLF & _
        "blah{9E52AB10-F80D-49DF-ACB8-4330F5687855}blah" & @CRLF & _
        "blah" & @CRLF & _
        "blah{de61d971-5ebc-4f02-a3a9-6c82895e5c04}blah" & @CRLF & _
        "blah"

;Local $a = StringRegExp($sString, "{[^}]+}", 3) ; Any characters except "}" betweew "{" and "}".
;Or
Local $a = StringRegExp($sString, "{[[:xdigit:]\-]+}", 3) ; A little more specific on which characters to match betweew "{" and "}".

_ArrayDisplay($a)
