Read TXT data with RegEx

[x_bennY]

I created a .txt db and i want to read the values using the RegEx (i know that iniread exists but i wanna know how regex works and creat my "own database") Btw, where could i find a good tutorial explaining how regex works? I read the help file but it did not help me much.

My .txt data:

051=88343028.2365754
052=19078966.1324966
053=61125189.3627208
054=48630688.0627125
055=65556281.3590232
056=48912705.1316237
057=60764618.3087908
058=3329069.66959535
059=98765958.9522598
0510=80757418.0493819
0511=85644294.163586
0512=82394592.0824025
0513=53262646.2197832
0514=77111584.5041542
0515=15618731.8799041
0516=96351384.9912536
0517=10705940.2717704

 

I'm reading than with this function, but i don't know if it is 100% correct:

$ret = StringRegExp(fileread("data.txt"), '(?i)' & $sControl & '=(.*)', 3)
_arraydisplay($ret)

 

 

Thx!

Have you tried the Internet?  If not, you can start here:  http://lmgtfy.com/?s=d&iie=1&q=regular+expression+tutorial  Then, find what works best for you.

I'm not stupid, and yes, i tried (should i really need to answer it?). As i asked, i want a good tutorial with autoit functions, and this is not what i was really asking for.

Your answer is totally contemptible. if you don't know how to help, or don't whant to, don't waste your time posting these things...

Don't get mad at me.  If you ask a dumb question, don't be surprised if you get a dumb answer.  I quoted your question.  It does not mention StringRegexp or AutoIt functions.  Here it is again for your viewing pleasure.  Regex is not exclusive to AutoIt so what would make one think that you were referring to AutoIt functions?

Whether you are stupid or not is debatable.  But one thing is for sure and that is that you are factually dishonest.

Indeed there are many (zillions of) good tutorials on regular expressions floating around.
However be sure you focus on PCRE flavor, which AutoIt uses.

The definitive documentation on the version currently implemented in AutoIt (PCRE1) can be found here : https://www.pcre.org/original/doc/html/pcrepattern.html

Also AutoIt help file documents most used features, albeit not being a regexp primer.

See my signature for an excellent site offering compatible regexp support, including step by step debugging and a detailed strict explanation of what a given pattern means, in plain english.

Thanks @jchd!
