parse out ticket number

[gcue]

Hello

I am trying to get GMS-600 from this $oHTTP.ResponseText but have not been able to figure out the right syntax.  THANK YOU in advance!

$txt = '{"_expands":["participant","status","sla","requestType","serviceDesk"],"issueId":"1301831","issueKey":"GMS-600","requestTypeId":"300","serviceDeskId":"13","createdDate":{"iso8601":"2021-10-12T07:08:17-0700","jira"}}'

;$ticket = StringRegExpReplace($txt, '"issueKey":[\w]', "")
$ticket = StringRegExpReplace($txt, "issueKey[\w]:", "")

gcue,

This works for me - and will look for any number of capital letters, a dash, and any number of digits at that position:

$txt = '{"_expands":["participant","status","sla","requestType","serviceDesk"],"issueId":"1301831","issueKey":"GMS-600","requestTypeId":"300","serviceDeskId":"13","createdDate":{"iso8601":"2021-10-12T07:08:17-0700","jira"}}'

$ticket = StringRegExpReplace($txt, '(.*Key":")([A-Z]*-\d*)(",".*)', "$2")

ConsoleWrite($ticket & @CRLF)

It looks for 3 groups: everything up to the end of the "issueKey" section, the section you want, and then all the rest - returning just the second section, which is the one you want.

Here is version using _StringBetween():

#Include <String.au3>

$txt = '{"_expands":["participant","status","sla","requestType","serviceDesk"],"issueId":"1301831","issueKey":"GMS-600","requestTypeId":"300","serviceDeskId":"13","createdDate":{"iso8601":"2021-10-12T07:08:17-0700","jira"}}'

$ticket = StringBetween($txt, '"issueKey":"', '"')
ConsoleWrite($ticket & @CRLF)

; wrapper to return string instead of array
Func StringBetween($sString, $sStart, $sEnd)
    $sReturn = _StringBetween($sString, $sStart, $sEnd)
    If @error Then Return ''
    Return $sReturn[0]
EndFunc

this seems to work.  

#include <Array.au3>


$txt = '{"_expands":["participant","status","sla","requestType","serviceDesk"],"issueId":"1301831","issueKey":"GMS-600","requestTypeId":"300","serviceDeskId":"13","createdDate":{"iso8601":"2021-10-12T07:08:17-0700","jira"}}'

$ticket = StringRegExp($txt, "[A-Z]{3}-\d+", 1)

if IsArray($ticket) Then _ArrayDisplay($ticket)

Kind of surprised that no one has mentioned using a JSON UDF yet. That's the proper way to do it unless you are really sure that you won't need to do anything else with the response.

It crossed my mind for a fleeting moment...

What and give up the chance for some tasty RegEx?

Use RegEx and forget it, or spend an hour learning Jason JSON parsing? RegEx wins everytime!
