I'm not sure if I understand...
When you want to capture more / less path elements, just + / - the number in {}
Regarding not capturing the last \
{ } -1 and repeat the capture group once
or just use trim($a, '\', "R");

The point is I'm having the need of specific regexes for each case described as they are all present on single documents, so a one-for-all token-wise solution won't do.
Thank you for helping, highend.

I suspect some of my difficulties with XY regex seem to arise from unsupported expressions.
Is there any official documentation for the regex engine XY uses? Haven't found a link in the "major" threads this forum's search returns.
Thanks, FH

Code: Select all
$str = <<<#YOURSTRINGHERE
#YOURSTRINGHERE;
$filter1 = regexmatches($str, "\d+\.\r?\n.*?\r?\n", "<crlf>");
$filter2 = regexreplace($filter1, "^\d+\.$(?:\r?\n)+(.*?)(?:\r?\n)+", "$1;");
text $filter2;

Is it possible for regex to capture and list all the variables present (clipboard) in a script?
Re: A bit of regex help needed

Code: Select all
text regexmatches(<clipboard>, "\$[a-z](\w+)?\b", <crlf>);

I'll put in my two cents if you'll give a complete set of test data and your desired match results.
If you provide a test data sample that, when matched, covers your problem (and doesn't cover close exceptions) - we're done. Make sure to include any context that might help or hinder a correct match.
I'd rather not assemble my own definitive test data out of a series of posts, the same with your grouping requirements or whatever, but I don't mind working on it. Ofc, highend will beat me to it and likely do a better job, but still
One post, all required information and definitive (but not overly redundant) test data: This will be good for you to rigorously determine yourself anyway, regardless of help.
Clarity is good.
Hope I can help - or someone beats me to it.
