RegExp Perl Friendly Characters [Solved]

[Mor3bane]

Hi, I am working on an idea for a skin.

Part of it uses the afterburner.dll and I am trying to parse the GPU name in a way that will recognise almost any GPU.

I know that \d captures a digit, and that \w captures a character (I think so anyway)

Is there a capture for a whole word of indeterminable length? e.g. backslash "something"?

I am trying to escape from a string after a whole word - and also before another whole word.

To clarify; I am using InlineSetting/Pattern to modify the angle of text that displays the GPU name in two separate lines with different Angles.

Can you post some example please?

You can use ^(.*)$ for capture anything (no matter the length or if there are letters or digits)

Please see previous post - I edited it with more info during your reply

I am using the Inline options to make the relevant words be transparent with Color | 0,0,0,0

This is what the relevant meters look like :

Code: Select all

[MeterGPUName1]
Meter=String
MeasureName=MeasureGPUName
FontColor=#ColorOffset#
FontSize=45
FontFace=#Font#
AntiAlias=1 
StringAlign=Left
X=110
Y=273
W=280
ClipString=2
Text=%1 
InlineSetting=Color | #ColorX#
InlinePattern=GeForce (.*)
Angle=25.25
Group=GPUHUD
Hidden=0
DynamicVariables=1

[MeterGPUName2]
Meter=String
MeasureName=MeasureGPUName
FontColor=#ColorOffset#
FontSize=45
FontFace=#Font#
AntiAlias=1 
StringAlign=Left
X=100
Y=278
W=280
ClipString=2
Text=%1 
InlineSetting=Color | #ColorX#
InlinePattern=^(.*) GTX
Angle=25.17
Group=GPUHUD
Hidden=0
DynamicVariables=1

#ColorX# = 0,0,0,0

If the text line is as you've posted, you can try this:
^(.*) .* and ^.* (.*)

^(.*) .* and ^.* (.*)

Thanks fanpaolo

But those expressions only split the second line - not the whole three word string.

Ideally it would capture the GPU name and split it for the model number on the second line.

So, this InlinePattern=^(.*) \w+ .* works perfectly for showing the second line but the first word is gone then

[Mor3bane]

So this:

Code: Select all

[MeterGPUName1]
Meter=String
MeasureName=MeasureGPUName
FontColor=#ColorOffset#
FontSize=45
FontFace=#Font#
AntiAlias=1 
StringAlign=Left
X=110
Y=273
W=280
ClipString=2
Text=%1 
InlineSetting=Color | #ColorX#
InlinePattern=GeForce (.*)
Angle=25.25
Group=GPUHUD
Hidden=0
DynamicVariables=1

[MeterGPUName2]
Meter=String
MeasureName=MeasureGPUName
FontColor=#ColorOffset#
FontSize=45
FontFace=#Font#
AntiAlias=1 
StringAlign=Left
X=100
Y=278
W=280
ClipString=2
Text=%1 
InlineSetting=Color | #ColorX#
InlinePattern=^(.*) \w+ .*
Angle=25.17
Group=GPUHUD
Hidden=0
DynamicVariables=1

Looks like this:

Ok, fonpaolo

This seems to work right - derived from your provided recommendations:

Code: Select all

[MeterGPUName1]
Meter=String
MeasureName=MeasureGPUName
FontColor=#ColorOffset#
FontSize=45
FontFace=#Font#
AntiAlias=1 
StringAlign=Left
X=110
Y=273
W=280
ClipString=2
Text=%1 
InlineSetting=Color | #ColorX#
InlinePattern=^\w+ (.*)
Angle=25.25
Group=GPUHUD
Hidden=0
DynamicVariables=1

[MeterGPUName2]
Meter=String
MeasureName=MeasureGPUName
FontColor=#ColorOffset#
FontSize=45
FontFace=#Font#
AntiAlias=1 
StringAlign=Left
X=100
Y=278
W=280
ClipString=2
Text=%1 
InlineSetting=Color | #ColorX#
InlinePattern=^(.*) \w+ .*
Angle=25.17
Group=GPUHUD
Hidden=0
DynamicVariables=1

Thank You VERY MUCH

Sorry, I'm confused... Correct me if I'm wrong, but do you want to split "Geforce GTX 960" in two parts, "Geforce" and "GTX 960"?

If so, using my first snippet will pick "Geforce" and ignore the rest, my secon snippet will pick the other part.

Then, you don't need to create two separate meters to display the text, just use:

Code: Select all

InlineSetting=xxx
InlinePattern=yyy
InlineSetting2=xxy
InlinePattern2=yyz

Ok -you are most certainly correct. However, setting the Angle will require another Meter due to the fact that Inline options do not recognise the Angle parameter.

I found the Media Magic thingy for perspective text, but that is a curse on the Earth due to installation difficulties.
So setting the Angle became the reasonable option.

[fonpaolo]

Oh, sorry, never used "Angle" with Inline... I used it for almost everything but "Angle".
