 Posted: Sat Aug 23, 2008 8:49 pm Post subject: quick regexmatch question |
 |
|
I think ive got the hang of this regexmatch but i cant figure out how to remove trailing spaces. How can i remove the trailing spaces with removing all the spaces?
| Code: | | THIS IS A BUNCH OF TEXT |
and make it do this.
| Code: | | THIS IS A BUNCH OF TEXT |
also how can i remove trailing spaces between a csv file.
| Code: | | THIS IS A BUNCH OF TEXT, MORE TEXT |
and make it do this.
| Code: | | THIS IS A BUNCH OF TEXT,MORE TEXT |
any help would be great thanks. |

You can remove trailing spaces by assigning the variable to itself. See AutoTrim for more info.
| Code: | string := " trailing spaces "
msgbox "%string%"
string = %string% ; remove the trailing spaces
msgbox "%string%" |

Although what Serenity posted is true, you can't remove the spaces around the commas like that. Sooo...
| Code: | String := " THIS IS A BUNCH OF TEXT, MORE TEXT"
RegExReplace(String, "(^ +| +$|(?: +)?(,)(?: +)?)","$2") |
Removes spaces at the beginning, end, and around commas. |

Couldn't it be done without RegEx by simply adding a line to Serenity's script? | Code: | string := " trailing spaces "
msgbox "%string%"
string = %string% ; remove the trailing spaces
StringReplace, string , string , `,%A_SPACE%, `,, A ; remove spaces after commas
msgbox "%string%" |
