Local $sLvar = "(1) 57,56"
Local $aLQtt = StringRegExp($sLvar, "\b(\d+)\b\D*(\d+,\d+)", 3)
_ArrayDisplay($aLQtt)

... and all this sort of things

Local $sLvar = "(1) 57,56"
Local $aLQtt = StringRegExp($sLvar, "[\d,]+", 3)
_ArrayDisplay($aLQtt)

That brings an interesting question.  Would you rather use code (a regex or whatever) fitted to a broad variation on input, or prefer to obtain an error if the input doesn't precisely match the initial specifications?

The former paradigm has the advantage that it will continue to work even if the environment changes a little, but could be a window wide open to garbage data, making things hard or impossible to correct once discovered after having been silently processed by permissive code.

OTOH, the latter is an attempt to detect anomalies early, at the risk of being utterly inflexible and requiring more maintenance.  From that point of view I should even have posted "^\((\d+)\)\s(\d+,\d+)$" and can't really explain why I didn't.

Both approaches have advantages and drawbacks, only experience and analyze of the context can advise what to use and when.

This nicely points out the interest of providing an explicit and detailed context when asking for a regex solution...

[jchd]

Yeah and that isn't the rule as you know.  I need this ... o wait, no, that instead ... but with cream please ... and without cream but in 3D, can you help?

... and sorry, but I can't provide any details more cause my script is a so top secret wonderful piece of code
