shaqan Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Hello. I have regular expression. But I cannot seem to accommodate with the AutoIT3, because regular expression itself is also containing multiple quotation marks and while trying to execute it, I would receive "Unterminated string" error messages for this row Regular expression pattern itself (tested and seems to be doing what I want it to do) Quote /<meta(?=[^>]*name="description")\s[^>]*content='([^>]*)"/sig Local $iOStr = StringRegExp($iContent, "/<meta(?=[^>]*name="description")\s[^>]*content='([^>]*)"/sig", 1,1) How to fix this? I've tried adding apostrophes here and there and also / or \, does not seem to work out properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaqan Posted September 4, 2017 Author Share Posted September 4, 2017 Hmm. So what I should have been doing was surrounding the regex with apostrophes and adding one inside. Thanks. Much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jchd Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 As a general rule, when your AutoIt string is delimited by one of ' or " you have to double significant ' or " (respectively). It's smart to choose the delimiter (' or ") that will minimize the number of doublings, for best readability. Compare with: Local $iOStr = StringRegExp($iContent, "/<meta(?=[^>]*name=""description"")\s[^>]*content='([^>]*)""/sig", 1,1) This wonderful site allows debugging and testing regular expressions (many flavors available).
