Regular expression

[paolo mazza]

To me regular expressions are tricky!

I need to extract the string HTTPWEB from the string "xxxxxx src='HTTPWEB'
width='3845' height='334' xxxxx"

If I use the regular expression (src='.*') and the matchChunk command,

I get this string :   "src='HTTPWEB' width='3845' height='334'"    (see the
following RevTalk script)


Which is the regular expression to get just  the argument of the src
variable ( HTTPWEB in this example)?

Thanks a lot

SAMPLE CODE

on mouseUp
   local TESTO,STRINGA,VAR1,VAR2

   put "xxxxxx src='HTTPWEB' width='3845' height='334' xxxxx" into TESTO

   put "(src='.*')" into STRINGA

   put matchText(TESTO,STRINGA) & return  into message

   if matchChunk(TESTO,STRINGA,VAR1,VAR2) then
      PUT char VAR1 to  VAR2 of TESTO into message
   else
      put "not found!" into message
   end if

end mouseUp
