regex help needed

[newcod3r]

I have 3 conflicting regex match and spent days trying to de-conflict but to no avail.

Code: Select all

if RegExMatch(clip, "i)(¥|RMB|CNY)\s?([0-9.,]+)", M) { ; case 1 

if RegExMatch(clip, "i)(\bRM\b|MYR)?\s?([0-9.,]+)", M) {  ; case 2

	if (RegExMatch(clip, "^\s?\d{4}\s?$")) {  ; case 3
    BirthYear := clip
    if (BirthYear >= 1900 && BirthYear <= 2022) {

test cases are as follows:
; case 1
RMB25
RMB 25
25RMB
25 RMB
25 CNY

; case 2
RM25
RM 25
25RM
25 RM

; case 3
1999
2000
2021

Even though I already inserted \b, 25RMB still goes to the 2ⁿᵈ match, and even 1999 also goes to 2ⁿᵈ match. how do I deconflict these 3?

Hello,

I find responding to this difficult if you are not going to describe your goal or the desired effect or output. Simply handing the reader a bunch of input strings does not seem to get anywhere.

Hello,

I gave the intended output for the 3 corresponding regexmatches already. the problem now is regexmatch 2 seems to match ALL my test cases.
the first 2 are for currency conversion, and the 3ʳᵈ is simply for a valid birth year.

In this case, I am not following your descriptions. I'll let others respond as they may have a better understanding of what you wrote.

I updated the formatting / description. not sure if it's better now?

Thank you, but I cannot determine anything definite from the post. It is just a mysterious listing-- unclear of the goal, what you are showing, and what you want to happen. That is just my take on it.
