Need A Quick Regex To Extract Numbers

[Roonyroo]

I still havent figured out how to use regex yet, need to set aside a weekend to get the hang of it ...

In the meanwhile I need to extract all numbers before the 1st "="

ie winxlxc93=ypos:=Foundy%xs% the number extracted should be 93

Thanks in advance

[code]var:="winxlxc93=ypos:=Foundy%xs%"
RegExMatch(var,"(\d+)=",number)
MsgBox % Number "`n" Number1 ; note the difference between number and number1[/code]

Thats great

Why does number show = & number1 doesnt? Is Number1 the matched number?

The parenthesis in the regular expression are used to capture a sub-pattern. Here is a simple example:

Code: Select all

TestText := "92837465"
RegExMatch(TestText, "(\d)(\d)(\d)(\d+)", m)
MsgBox, % "m:`t" m "`nm1:`t" m1 "`nm2:`t" m2 "`nm3:`t" m3 "`nm4:`t" m4
return
