regexmatch help Topic is solved

[awcrt9316]

I am trying to figure out how to recognize if there is a number at the end of a word I've used regex before but never quite understood it fully (i am new to ahk)

Code: Select all

if regexmatch(apple + [1-9]) ; if detect a specific word plus a number 1-9

var:= apple ; make var equal to the word without the number

[boiler]

Code: Select all

text := "apple8"
RegExMatch(text, "\D+", var)
MsgBox, % var

I think this is similar:

Code: Select all

string := "apple9"
RegExMatch(string, "O)(\D+)\d", UnquotedOutputVar)
msgbox, % UnquotedOutputVar[1]
; => "apple
