Help for Regular Expression, thanks in advance!

Jason Hsu

Hi,

  Could anyone please tell me how to change the line to a list? Now, I have one ptf file. It contains all of information, PACK_TYPE, TYPE, PART_TYPE, OTHER, MERGE_ADDCOMP, ALT_SYMBOLS, HEIGHT, JEDEC_TYPE. They were divided by a pipe(|). Every time, I will read one line. And I want to make it as a list. I attempt to use RE, but I failed. Please help me to change it, thanks a lot.

For example, the line is the follow.

'F_X4'|'RA_PF'|'TYCO_2214762-5'|'ELASTO-GASKET_LITE-PIPES' ('!')='29-7810-01'|''|'(PFCON-80-ZSFP2X2-LP1X4-T22_IMPERIALXL,PFCON-80-ZSFP2X2-LP4X2-T22_PASSPORTXL)'|'1016'|'CON-80-SFP2PF-LP-T64':CDS_LW_PART_NUMBER='29-7810-01'

I want to make it as:

("F_X4" "RA_PF" "TYCO_2214762-5" "ELASTO-GASKET_LITE-PIPES ('!')='29-7810-01" "(PFCON-80-ZSFP2X2-LP1X4-T22_IMPERIALXL,PFCON-80-ZSFP2X2-LP4X2-T22_PASSPORTXL)" "1016" "CON-80-SFP2PF-LP-T64:CDS_LW_PART_NUMBER='29-7810-01'"

Please help me, Thanks in advance.

Regards

Jason

  • First of all, why do you want to use regular expression for this? The matching is limited to 9 captured parts. Your example contains 8 parts, so that should be ok. 

    A parseString() also does the job.

    If you want to assign the fields to a variable then you better use  destructuringBind(). 

    some examples:

    str= "'F_X4'|'RA_PF'|'TYCO_2214762-5'|'ELASTO-GASKET_LITE-PIPES' ('!')='29-7810-01'|''|'(PFCON-80-ZSFP2X2-LP1X4-T22_IMPERIALXL,PFCON-80-ZSFP2X2-LP4X2-T22_PASSPORTXL)'|'1016'|'CON-80-SFP2PF-LP-T64':CDS_LW_PART_NUMBER='29-7810-01'"

    line = parseString(str "|")
    pp(line)

    pcre = pcreCompile("(.*)\\|(.*)\\|(.*)\\|(.*)\\|(.*)\\|(.*)\\|(.*)\\|(.*)")
    when(pcreMatchp(pcre str)
     f1 = pcreSubstitute(pcre "\\1")
     f2 = pcreSubstitute(pcre "\\2")
     f3 = pcreSubstitute(pcre "\\3")
     f4 = pcreSubstitute(pcre "\\4")
     f5 = pcreSubstitute(pcre "\\5")
     f6 = pcreSubstitute(pcre "\\6")
     f7 = pcreSubstitute(pcre "\\7")
     f8 = pcreSubstitute(pcre "\\8")
     line = list(f1 f2 f3 f4 f5 f6 f7 f8)
     pp(line)
    )

    destructuringBind( (f1 f2 f3 f4 f5 f6 f7 f8 @rest junk) parseString(str "|")
     line = list(f1 f2 f3 f4 f5 f6 f7 f8)
     pp(line)
    )

    Thank you, Bram, My thought is immature. Now, I know how to do it after read your code. Thank you very much for your help. Thanks:)
