Return partial variables within string

[Tienytne]

Hello, I'm trying to create a variable using the text image finder.

The text finder will return a string value of "11/22/33", but I want the numeric values to be placed in its own variable.
ie. x = 11, y = 22, z = 33

Going through the functions it seems RegEx would be the best command for this task? Currently looking through and figuring out how the easy pattern syntax works for this.

Thanks

Or you could use the Separate command, and separate by /

Hello Tienytne,

Here is one way you can do it with RegEx.

Code: Select all

 let>nDate=11/22/33

RegEx>(\d\d?).(\d\d?).(\d\d?),nDate,0,match,nom,1,nx=$1;ny=$2;nz=$3,Result

StringReplace>Result,;,crlf,Result
StringReplace>Result,n,let>,Result

IncludeFromVar>Result

mdl>%x%/%y%/%z%

Hope this helps.

Here is a more simplistic form of the above.

Code: Select all

let>nDate=11/22/33
RegEx>(\d\d?).(\d\d?).(\d\d?),nDate,0,match,nom,1,$1,x
RegEx>(\d\d?).(\d\d?).(\d\d?),nDate,0,match,nom,1,$2,y
RegEx>(\d\d?).(\d\d?).(\d\d?),nDate,0,match,nom,1,$3,z

mdl>%x%/%y%/%z%

If ndate was separated by spaces instead of "/", how would I handle that?

i.e. ndate=11 22 33

Thanks!

PepsiHog's solution still works. It doesn't care what the separator is.
