hello world =)

i am trying to get AutoIt v3.3.6.1 from the string below.  The version may change so i essentially want to get whatever is between these 2 forward slashes /AutoIt vxxx/

Thanks in advance!

#include <array.au3>
$msg_normal = 0

$string = '"C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt v3.3.6.1\SciTe\SciTe.exe" "%1"'

$version = StringRegExpReplace($string, "[\w+]/\AutoIt[/w+]/\", "$1")

Debug($version)

Func Debug($variable1 = "", $variable2 = "", $variable3 = "")

;~  #include <array.au3>
;~  $msg_normal = 0

    If IsArray($variable1) Then
        _ArrayDisplay($variable1)
    Else
        If $variable2 <> "" Then
            $variable1 &= @CRLF & $variable2
        EndIf

        If $variable3 <> "" Then
            $variable1 &= @CRLF & $variable3
        EndIf

        ClipPut($variable1)
        MsgBox($msg_normal, "Debug", $variable1)
    EndIf

EndFunc   ;==>Debug

Could easily be done without regex  ;)

$version = StringTrimLeft(StringSplit($string, "\")[3], 8)

 

#include <array.au3>
$msg_normal = 0

$string = '"C:\some other folder\with extra depth\AutoIt v3.3.14.0\SciTe\SciTe.exe" "%1"'

$version = StringTrimLeft(StringSplit($string, "\")[3], 8)

Debug($version)

Func Debug($variable1 = "", $variable2 = "", $variable3 = "")

;~  #include <array.au3>
;~  $msg_normal = 0

    If IsArray($variable1) Then
        _ArrayDisplay($variable1)
    Else
        If $variable2 <> "" Then
            $variable1 &= @CRLF & $variable2
        EndIf

        If $variable3 <> "" Then
            $variable1 &= @CRLF & $variable3
        EndIf

        ClipPut($variable1)
        MsgBox($msg_normal, "Debug", $variable1)
    EndIf

EndFunc   ;==>Debug

JO, don't be rude  :)
You might always find particular situations where any expression will not work

$string = '"C:\some other folder\AutoIt 3\with extra depth\AutoIt v3.3.14.0\SciTe\SciTe.exe" "%1"'

Msgbox(0,"", StringRegExpReplace($string, ".*?\\AutoIt\h(?U)(.*)\\.*?", "$1") )  ; trancexx

Edit
The most reliable (?) may be this one

StringRegExpReplace($string, ".*\\AutoIt\hv([\d.]+).*", "$1")

msgbox(0, '' , stringregexp($string , "(AutoIt v[\d+\.]+)\\" , 3)[0])

I have tried to learn RegEX and just totally suck at it.

Care to break down part by part what your solution is doing so I can try to learn from it?

This is for me?

The function replaces original string with smallest portion "(?U)(.*)" of it that's preceded with any number of characters and then backslash, string "AutoIt" plus horizontal whitespace and followed with backslash and whatever.

                  ".*?\\AutoIt\h(?U)(.*)\\.*?"
        ____ _ _____ _    ____ _ __
          |  |   |   |      |  | |
         /   |   |   |       \  \ \__________
        /    |   | whitespace \  \            \
    anything |    \            |  backslash    \
             |     \        wanted portion      \
         backslash  \                        whatever
                    AutoIt

It's not exactly trancexx's expression for the PCRE engine, but it's pretty close and really only for a visualisation of the regex: http://regexper.com/#.*%3F\\AutoIt\s(.*)\\.*%3F

another regex :

$string = '"C:\some other folder\AutoIt 3\with extra depth\AutoIt v3.3.14.0\SciTe\SciTe.exe" "%1"'
$version = StringRegExp($string, "((?:\d+\.)+\d+)", 1)[0]
MsgBox(0, "", $version)
