A Regex problem

[murataygun]

I need to get user names as i highlited. But ı cant figure out how to.

Here is the link. Thank you very much.

[boiler]

For the first instance: (?<=\()[^)]*

For the second instance: (?<= : ).*(?= - )


Are they going to be different and you need to get both? Or are you just looking to get one or the other?

[murataygun]

For the first instance: (?<=\()[^)]*

But it should match with the other one which has no parentheses around too. It should match both lines.

[boiler]

Actually, the problem with getting the second name is a problem if we are just trying to isolate that it is preceded with a " : " and followed by a " - ", because that occur elsewhere and would also capture the IP address shown earlier. Will the second instance always be preceded by "Kullanıcı : "?

You need to show some other cases so that we can see what will always be in place. Even "Kullanıcı : " occurs more than once.

Yes. "Kullanıcı" will allways be there.

Btw thank you for your time

This matches both as two capturing groups: (\([^)]*).*Kullanıcı : (.*) -

You need to have the "s" (single line) option selected.

It works with your latest example to. Make sure the "s" option is selected on that one too.

[boiler]

Correction: \(([^)]*).*Kullanıcı : (.*) -

The previous version had an error that included the open parenthesis in the first result.

Am i missing something

[boiler]

Yes, now you've shown a case that doesn't match either of the other two. Now the second name isn't followed by " - ".

You can't show certain cases and then wonder why something that's a different format doesn't also work. If I change it to make it match that one as well, you could easily show another different case where it wouldn't. Do you understand why what's surrounding the name is important? That's how it figures out where to grab it from. It can't magically know where the name starts and ends.

[murataygun]

Now the second name isn't followed by " - "

But it is followed by " - "

Sorry to bother you but I'm getting windows titles and searching user names on each line. I got 3 different titles which has user names in it. I should collect all.


This covers number 2 and 3.

Code: Select all

(?<= : ).*(?= - )

This covers number 1.

Code: Select all

(?<=\()[^)]*

Maybe i should check the beginning of the title and use regex code for it accordingly.

Thanks for these codes.

I see now. You're right. Easily addressed by changing the last quantifier to be ungreedy:
\(([^)]*).*Kullanıcı : (.*?) -
