skill substrings replace operation

tyanata

 Hello,

I have following question, how can be done in skill following sub-string replace operation:

perl -p -e 's|/folder_level1/folder_level2/[^ ]*/spectre/|\$SOMEVAR/spectre/|g'

 

Best regards,

 

tyanata

    Hi tyanata,

    With sourceString as the string you wish to replace:

    pat=pcreCompile("/folder_level1/folder_level2/[^ ]*/spectre/")
    newString=pcreReplace(pat sourceString "$SOMEVAR/spectre/" 0)

    The 0 at the end of pcreReplace replaces all occurrences of the pattern.

    If using IC5141, the pattern is simple enough you could use the old rex functions:

    rexCompile("/folder_level1/folder_level2/[^ ]*/spectre/")
    newString=rexReplace(sourceString "$SOMEVAR/spectre/" 0)

    However, the pcre (Perl Compatible Regular Expression) functions are more powerful.

    Regards,

    Andrew.

     Thanks Andrew!

     I was afraid that skill will not interpret the meaning of 

    [^ ]* 

    perl regualar expression, but seems I am wrong.
