 Posted: Tue Mar 25, 2008 8:03 am Post subject: Editing Copied text |
 |
|
My old programming is barely coming back to me, but I think the term I'm looking for is shifting a stack? I plan on copying a block of text that is always identical in format: it is a date. IE 02.23.07. I need to delete the last six characters. How do I do this? The inverse is also necessary. On the proposed date (IE 02.23.07), what if I need to delete the first six characters? Eventually this will be used to convert 02.23.07 into 23, February 2007

Thanks. I've looked into it but I'm having a hard time figuring this out. Please excuse the newbie question. How would I use StringTrimLeft/-Right to delete six characters from the right?

I think that will work

This falls somewhere near what I want to do with my clipboard.
There is a string I want to extract from the clipboard, but it is in a different place most times. The string length is variable too, as it is a measure of hitpoints in a game I am playing.
I want to be able to extract the number, ie I need to be able to keep a check on the number represented by 675. As this can be 1,2,3 or 4 digits long, I'm not sure how to go about it.
Life: 675 / 1522
I've been experimenting with StringReplace, but I must admit that I am very very new to all this, and picking out the right expressions to use is mindblowing! |

Can anyone see where I am going wrong with this? It might help my understanding of what I am doing. The idea is to grab the text from Google (or any other page), and strip out the string I am looking for (in this case "Search" and the 10 characters after it.
Thanks!
| Code: |
F1::
Run www.google.com
WinWait, Google - Internet Exlorer
Sleep 500
click 780,780
Sleep 500
Send ^a
Sleep 50
Send ^c
Sleep 50
MsgBox, The text is `n%clipboard%
Haystack = %clipboard%
Needle = Search
StringGetPos, pos, Haystack, %Needle%
if pos >= 0
MsgBox, The string was found at position %pos%.
SubStr (%clipboard%, %pos%, 10)
MsgBox, The string is now: %SubStr% |

AWESOME!
Nearly there now....do you have any suggestions how to reduce the following string to just the first number, regardless of how many digits there are?
ie I want to extract the number 666 in this example.
Life: 666 / 1615
Thanks! |

| Code: | Haystack = Life: 666 / 1615
RegExMatch(Haystack, "\d+", HP)
MsgBox % HP |

Really going good now, almost got it working perfect.
Just need one more thing sorting and I think I have it done.
When in battle, the Life: xxx / xxx string is displayed twice. Once for the enemy, once for you.
Because your own string is the second one, it doesn't work right.
How do I select the second string?
Really appreciate all this help, I'm coming on great with what I need to achieve! |

Life: 1019 / 1700
Life: 666 / 1615
)
RegExMatch(Haystack, "s)Life:.*Life: (\d+)", HP)
MsgBox % HP1 |

Thanks for that tip Lexikos. I had achieved what I needed with a sloppy method (StringTrimLeft) to remove the offending first string, but I'm sure your code is much more professional 
My code is working completely now, I believe I can tweak it as required over time.
Many thanks. |
