Make this Regexreplace case insensitive

[Rikk03]

I need the below function Regexreplace to be case insensitive and it's driving me nuts. I found it here https://autohotkey.com/board/topic/117421-count-how-many-times-a-word-appears-and-store/

Code: Select all

MsgBox % "literal: " 	SubStrCt("1+1 1+2 1+1 111", "1+1")        ; missing paramater #3 for literal matching
. "`nRegEx: " 	SubStrCt("1+1 1+2 1+1 111", "1+1", 1)	; paramater #3 = 1 or true for RegEx matching
Return

SubStrCt(Haystack, String, RegexPattern := false) {
    RegExReplace(Haystack, (RegexPattern ? "" : "\Q") . String . (RegexPattern ? "" : "\E"),, ChrCt) ; Case sensitive!
    Return ChrCt
}

I don't really understand the MsgBox part above. All I really need to do is to return a literal count via function - reliably and from within HTML source code. How / where do I add the i) modifier.

The string is via inputbox OR by variable and I need both to work case-insensitively for literal matching.

Your help would be much appreciated!

I'm not sure what you are trying to do, but it would normally be at the start of the regular expression.

Code: Select all

RegExReplace(Haystack, "i)" (RegexPattern ? "" : "\Q") String (RegexPattern ? "" : "\E"),, ChrCt) ; Case insensitive

Hello again,

Thankyou the case insensitivity worked, but it was unreliable when called in a loop repetitively. With regards what I am trying to do .... in the URL above, almost exactly what I am after but I need it with case-insensitivity as a function to externalize the count.

I'm open to suggestions?

Sure. My suggestion is to post your script if you would like help with it.

I got it working!

Thanks though Mike.
