regular expression

[NikolajEgeskovOstergaard]

According to link below, TS support some regular expression.  Can anyone provide an example of where to write the regular expressions ?

I might be easier to do it via an external .net module, but if TS supports it, i might go with that.

If you are using a PropertyObject Search method there is a parameter called SearchOptions.  It requires one of the SearchOptions Constants.  One of those is called SearchOptions_RegExpr.  When this is passed for that parameter then the search text can contain regular expression characters.  This is of course 1 example.

What specifically are you wanting.  Maybe there is an easier way?

Hope this helps,

I wish to take this string:

{x=8.28504, y=0.10767,z=-0.26559}

And get x,y,z values in seperate varibles.

can be done in C# with this regex:

{x=(?<x>-?\d\.\d{5})\,y=(?<y>-?(-|)\d\.\d{5})\,z=(?<z>-?(-|)\d\.\d{5})}

I have made a piece of code for that, however it would be nice to do it directly in TS.

HI

Yes there is a PropertyObject.Search Member but  the result is from  SearchResults so i wonder how to use this in executing sequence ?!

What about a simple workaround by using just  4 lines in Exression statement to achive this by using split and trim ?

You can also use an Action step with the .NET adapter to directly call the .NET framework regular expression APIs to do this.

Thanks for the support.

I've not yet tried your suggestion Doug, but i intend to.
