 Posted: Mon Oct 01, 2007 4:24 pm Post subject: Replace single quote in string variable |
 |
|
I'm trying to grab an environment variable we have which is a string, but it enclosed in single quotes. (e.g. 'Training Project'). I want to grab it and remove the single quotes using either StringReplace or RegExReplace, but I keep getting an error that the variable contains an illegal character. Here are two options I've been trying:
| Code: | StringReplace, PRJNAME, %PROJECT_NAME%, Chr(39),, All
PRJNAME := RegExReplace(%PROJECT_NAME%, "'", "") |
%PROJECT_NAME% is the environment variable, PRJNAME is the variable I created to catch the trimmed string.
Many thanks for any help.

Should work:
| Code: | | StringReplace, PRJNAME, %PROJECT_NAME%, % Chr(39),, All |

Are you using EnvGet?
_________________
RegExReplace("irc.freenode.net/ahk", "^(?=(.(?=[\0-r\[]*((?<=\.).))))(?:[c-\x73]{2,8}(\S))+((2)|\b[^\2-]){2}\D++$", "$u3$1$3$4$2") |

No, I'm not using EnvGet. Should I get the variable with that first?
A sample value would be 'Training Project' (the single quotes included). |

| Code: |
EnvGet, PRJNAME, PROJECT_NAME
StringReplace, PRJNAME, PRJNAME, ',, All
;PRJNAME := RegExReplace(%PROJECT_NAME%, "'", "")
