regexp...

ProXy · Post by **ProXy** » Tue Mar 11, 2003 1:08 pm

Hi, I have a string that contains a word like "HTP[1:2:3]". Is it possible to split the word to "HTP" and "[1:2:3]" with regexp? Or is it just possible to split the string with other commands? Would be nice for some support

Greetings,
ProXy

mmm I'm not to good with regexp... but something like this?

Code: Select all

set test "HTP[1:2:3]"
regexp {(HTP)(\[1:2:3\])} $test var1 var2 var3

var1 = HTP[1:2:3]
var2 = HTP
var3 = [1:2:3]

don't kill me if this is wrong

Well, the string is not static, so I have to check, that i split between the chars and the [ bracket...

set test {HTP[1:2:3]}
foreach {part1 part2} [split $test {[}] {}

part1 = HTP
part2 = 1:2:3]

since you asked about regexp... I tested a littlebit and came up with this cute line... hehe
it will just split if the var follows the "characters[num:num:num]" pattern

Code: Select all

set test "blsBLSBbsuaBYY[343:43:4]"
regexp {([a-z A-Z]*)(\[([0-9]+:)+[0-9]+\])} $test var1 var2 var3

var2 = blsBLSBbsuaBYY
var3 = [343:43:4]
