Code:
Haystack :=   "01*02*03*04*05*TEXT1*TEXT2*TEXT3"
Haystack :=   RegExReplace(Haystack,"^.*?\*(?=\D)")   ; remove everything up to the first star followed by a non-digit
Loop, parse, Haystack, *   ; parse 'Haystack'
   if   A_Index > 2   ; only parse the first two stars since the third term might have a star
      break
   else   var%A_Index% :=   A_LoopField
var3 :=   SubStr(Haystack,StrLen(var1)+StrLen(var2)+3)
MsgBox %   var1 "`n" var2 "`n" var3

which regex code represents any zero or more character, I mean ANY character, newline, symbol, digit, ANYTHING


also, \h that represents any whitespace character (space, tab, but not newline, or other) does not seem to work, which is the alternative?

thanks

A dot (.) combined with the s (DotAll) option. Described in doc so don't ask how, why, example etc as it is already in the help file.

Space or tab: [\s\t]

For the any character; use the DOTALL option where you can. Everywhere else I end up using (.|\n).

I did not find sufficient documentation for DotAll, but it seems I just need to place (?s) before the dot to enable it

it complicates alot the code (because, first, s is meant for space, second, I dont know where it is enabled and where it is not, third, I need to disable it if I dont want to use it, etc), so, I came up with this, that seems to do the job:

Code:
(\t|\n|.|\r)*

That's just a less efficient version of (\n|.)*.

As there are only three RE related pages in the documentation you must be joking. DotAll is described perfectly, no need for further documentation.

I cant make it work:

Code:
RunWait, pdftotext -f 1 -l 1 -layout 1.pdf x-timestamp.txt
FileRead, xx, x-timestamp.txt
ClientID := RegExReplace("%xx%" , "sm).*^COMPANY NAME\h+: (.+)$sm).*" , "$1")
FileMove, 1.pdf, %ClientID%.pdf


what's wrong with it?

:?

I'll give you a hint, you can only pass on the options once, you do it twice, why, where is that documented? Do as the docs say, not as your imagination tells you ;-)
Code:
RegExReplace("%xx%" , "sm).*^COMPANY NAME\h+: (.+)$sm).*" , "$1")

I'll give you another hint: you don't use %'s in an expression and functions.
Code:
RegExReplace("%xx%" , "sm).*^COMPANY NAME\h+: (.+)$sm).*" , "$1")


also, lose the "quotes" around the xx.

aaarrggghhh it still doesnt work:

Code:
RunWait, pdftotext -f 1 -l 1 -layout 1.pdf x-timestamp.txt
FileRead, xx, x-timestamp.txt
msgbox %xx%
ClientID := RegExReplace(xx, "m).*^COMPANY NAME\s+: (.+)$.*", "$1")
msgbox %ClientID%
FileMove, 1.pdf, %ClientID%.pdf


both xx and ClientID are the whole text of the x-timestamp.txt, while it should be only the (.+) of the "sm).*^COMPANY NAME\s+: (.+)$.*"
