$ anchor in autoit?

[doggy]

Hey, how can i write somethink working like this: https://regex101.com/r/nfB3nR/5

I googled, that in AU3 $ is not working, so what can I do?

Who pretends this? Who's his/her drug dealer?

Please read the StringRegExp help and focus on Options. In the regex from regex101 you use switches which are not set by default in AU3 implementation.

Local $s = _
    "questionx" & _
    "questiony" & _
    "questionza" & _
    "questionaas" & _
    "questionbasa" & _
    "questioncdfd" & _
    "questionddgf" & _
    "vkjasdashdjk   " & _
    "SKDJSK" & _
    "fsfsdf " & _
    "3lrkdfl    " & _
    "983439" & _
    "fksds" & _
    "kjadksajdsjdskd" & _
    "asmndsamdds" & _
    "questioncdfdwwewe" & _
    "question"

_ArrayDisplay(StringRegExp($s, "q\we\w{3}on$", 3))

Ok, sorry. So i need to use (?m)?

StringRegExp(FileRead($dump), 'm\w{6,6}o\w{1,1}(?m)', 3)

Re-read! Dollar in PCRE means different things when option ?m is on/off.

Options are in front of the regex in PCRE (which is the same engine used by regex101 btw). Perl uses the syntax \regex\options\ but PCRE requires (?options)regex (like in AU3).

Also \w{6,6} means \w{6} and \w{1,1} is just \w

I'm getting a little closer to understanding this 😄

so this:

StringRegExp(FileRead($dump), 'm\w{6,6}o\w{1,1}(?m)', 3)

should be:

Local $answer = StringRegExp(FileRead($dump), 'm\w{6}o\w$', 3)

am I right?

Invalid option use: you're still try to use Perl/Bourne/regex101 syntax, which is invalid here. Re-re-read help and study this:

_ArrayDisplay(StringRegExp("word1" & @CRLF & " word" & @CRLF & "MyWord" , '(?im)wo\w{2,}$', 3))
_ArrayDisplay(StringRegExp("word1" & @CRLF & " word" & @CRLF & "MyWord" , '(?i)wo\w{2,}$', 3))

Next practice regexes.
