Is it possible to parse a file or variable searching for a specific string using a wildcard, ie: * or ?
I've searched the forum but can't find any info and the planned features list does not mention it as a future posibility.
Thanks |

you could use:
IniWrite & IniRead functions to do that. I am not sure about FileRead or FileReadLine will help you.. is it a text file you are trying to parse?

To use wildcards would require to have regex. But Regex isn't implemented (yet).
But there is a link in the script/function section that shows how to use PERL. I assume that would be the best solution for you if you really need to use wildcards.
If yyou want to stay purely with AHK. You have to try to find a way with
StringReplace
StringTrim(Left/Right)
String(Left/Right)
If var in list
If var contains list (this is my best guess of what you need)
You can do a lot with these commands (but it will be more lines then just a wild card)
