Hey everyone I have a new question
I am trying to figure out how to strip out numbers from a peice of text such as
Quote:
i live on 1234 oaktree
Any help?
Would it be possible to store the stripped digits in a new variable?

Code:
String = i live on 1234 oaktree
String2 := RegexReplace( String, "\D" )
String3 := RegexReplace( String, "\d" ) 
Msgbox %String%`n%String2%`n%String3%

Definitely regex:
Code:
txt := "i live on 1234 oaktree"
RegExMatch(txt,"\d+",match)
MsgBox '%match%'


Edit: I see I've been scooped. My version will get the a single group of numbers from the string. sbc's version will gather all the numbers anywhere.

I have not used Regex much (I'm starting on you dime :wink:) but does this work for you?
Code:
Adress=I live on 1234 oaktree
Pos:=RegExMatch(Adress, "\d+" , Out)
RegExMatch(Adress, "\D+" , Out2)
RegExMatch(Adress, "\D+" , Out3, Pos)
MsgBox %Out%, %Out2%%Out3%


Edit: I was slow too. Looks like RegExReplace works better in this instance, thanks sbc.

This is an example of how to use RegEx in a while loop to traverse a string and retrieve all matches:

Code:
var=I live on 1234 oaktree, 5 miles north of 1253 elm street
Pos=1
While   Pos :=   RegExMatch(var,"\d+",m,Pos+StrLen(m))
   res .=   ((A_Index=1) ? "" : "`n")   m
MsgBox %   res
return
