Is there a way to Regex a Regex?

[Haduis]

Basically, I'm putting a chatlog through Regex to parse individual portions into an array.

Then I want to be able to search these arrays, and if they have what I'm searching for, I want to output the information. If they don't have what I'm searching for, I want to discard them.

The part I'm stuck on right now is that the first Regex puts everything into an array (matches_array_1,matches_array_2,matches_array3,etc)

Then I'm using:

Let>k=0
Label>Loop
Let>k=k+1
Let>TextVariables=matches_array_%k%
if>%k%=%num_matches%,End,Loop

To let the TextVariables variable change its value within a loop to match the initial Regex's num_matches so it knows when to stop.

Is there a better way to do this?

Code: Select all

wait>5
Let>INPUT_BROWSE=1
Input>DelveFileName,Find the delve file you want to parse.,C:DelveTest.txt

ReadFile>C:DelveTest.txt,strFileContents



Let>pattern=(?s)\[\d\d:\d\d:\d\d\] <Begin Info:.*?<End>
regex>pattern,%strFileContents%,0,matches_array,num_matches,0



Input>Input2,What stat would you like to parse for?,.*
Let>k=0

Label>Loop
Let>k=k+1
Let>TextVariables=matches_array_%k%
Let>pattern2=(?is)\[\d\d:\d\d:\d\d\] <Begin Info:.*?%Input2%.*?<End>
regex>pattern2,TextVariables,0,matches_array2,num_matches2,0

if>%k%=%num_matches%,End,Loop

Label>End

Oh, and here's an example of 3 of the chat logged items.

I want to be able to search for individual attributes (like Strength, Body, Piety, Duration etc.) and then throw away the items that don't have those stats.

Begin Info and End Info are the start and end points of each item.

Code: Select all

[18:34:49]

Never mind! I was expecting it to take one input at a time and give me three outputs!

Brain fart.
