Hi all,

I have a var that contains the content of a website, and ich want to pick out a specific part of this conent and save it to a new var.

Code: Select all

		regexp {^.*Stream Title: </font></td><td><font class=default><b>(.*)</b>.*} $streamdata streamdata streamname

This not only saves the String but also the content below </b>. Does anyone know what`s the error?

ermm...
I think it is regsub you want to use.. not regexp

regsub - Perform substitutions based on regular expression pattern matching
SYNTAX: regsub ?switches? exp string subSpec ?varName?

I want to catch all between the bold tags and save this to a new var. I have a second line in my TCL, but this line works:

Code: Select all

regexp {^.*Stream Status: </font></td><td><font class=default><b>Stream is up at (.*) kbps with <B>(.*) of (.*) listeners \((.*) unique\).*} $streamdata streamdata streamkbps streamlisteners streammaxlisteners streamuniquelisteners

Use the scan command rather than regexp.
