Check if string has Symbols

[kyopw]

hey hey everyone!! i really need a script to check if a string has any some specific symbol and/or some specific letter but i don't know how to do this

something like this:

Code: Select all

char := "abc"
string := "a"

if string contains any of char ;check if string has A, B or C; if some of the characters specified in char is find, then:
{
	MsgBox, string has char
}

i have tried InStr() but it doesn't works

Code: Select all

char := "!%"
string := "find!" ;i want to detect the '!' char
if InStr(string, char)
{
	MsgBox, found the char
}

someone know how to do this?

Commas separate the items. See documentation.

Code: Select all

char := "a,b,c"
string := "a"
If string contains %char%
 MsgBox, String has char
Else MsgBox, Nope!

char := "!,%"
string := "find!" ;i want to detect the '!' char
If string contains %char%
 MsgBox, Yep!
Else MsgBox, Nope!

A comma-separated list of strings, each of which will be compared to the contents of Var for a match. Any spaces or tabs around the delimiting commas are significant, meaning that they are part of the match string.

thanks! but i have tried:

Code: Select all

char := "],!"
string := "[abcde]"

if string contains %char%
{
	MsgBox, found
}

and it's not working, maybe cause the string is blank, how can i fix this?

That script does work. Are you sure you saved your changes to the script before running it?

The reason that doesn't work is that it is looking for the exact string !% to appear (both characters in a row). You can use RegExMatch with [ ] around the characters, which means to match any of the characters within the group:

Code: Select all

char := "[!%]"
string := "find!" ;i want to detect the '!' char
if RegExMatch(string, char)
{
	MsgBox, found the char
}
