Quick Reg Expression question

[mikeparkie]

I promise to do a full read up on regexpression at the weekend but in the mean time can someone help me with this.

 

Download URL is

http://www.macroplant.com/release/iPhoneExplorerPC_2100.zip

 

Version is "2.100" from:

http://www.macroplant.com/iphoneexplorer/

 

How do I remove the "." ??

 

Thanks in advance

Here's a way, not regex based, but using Ketarin's built in macros:

Assuming that version is the name of the variable you store the version number into.

To answer your question . is a wildcard character in regex. To make your regex treat . as the period symbol (or any special regex character as literal) you need to apply \ before it.

 

Examples

 

\.

\(

\?

\*

 

Regardless there is no real need for you to set version, that page only posts the latest version.

 

.*\.\.([^"']+\.zip)

 

That'll do what you want it to do.
