webparser regexp display matching strings only

Post by AnimaliX »

hello.
I cant find here on forum what I need to do from my rainmeter :)

I need that webparser find and display lines with matched strings only...
for example I need display content between <title>(.*)</title> which matching strings in this case words: "Alpha" or "Beta" or "Gamma" (Alpha|Beta|Gamma) (case insesitive)
how to write proper regexp? :) I have only classic simple rss parser like this

Code: Select all

RegExp="(?siU).*<item>.*<title>(.*)</title>.*
thx

thanks for info, but this is not it I believe... this not skip "no match" lines I think
well this "IfMatchActions" is something new, so maybe I'm wrong :)

for example
rss source:
1. ..<title>text ABC text</title>..
2. ..<title>text ABC text</title>..
3. ..<title>text Alpha text</title>..
4. ..<title>text ABC text</title>..
5. ..<title>text Beta text</title>..

in result I need display only lines 3 and 5 and exclude 1,2,4

Not exactly the best solution, but the Lookahead Assertion could somehow help, I think.
Eg for the above source, you should try the following RegExp: RegExp=(?siU)<title>.*(?(?=Alpha|Beta|Gamma).*(.*))</title>.*<title>.*(?(?=Alpha|Beta|Gamma).*(.*))</title>.*<title>.*(?(?=Alpha|Beta|Gamma).*(.*))</title>.*<title>.*(?(?=Alpha|Beta|Gamma).*(.*))</title>.*<title>.*(?(?=Alpha|Beta|Gamma).*(.*))</title>. The only problem is that the returned string will contain the Alpha, Beta or Gamma words along with the following strings/words, but not those placed before them. For the posted source the third child WebParser measure (which has set StringIndex=3) returns Alpha text, the last one (with StringIndex=5) returns Beta text and the first, the second and the fourth don't return anything (in fact they are returning empty strings). As you can see the text word before the Alpha text and Beta text, is missing.
Is this a problem?

I think I have another solution. It uses a lua script.

title.txt

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rss version="2.0">

Code: Select all

function Initialize()
	
   measureSite = SKIN:GetMeasure('MeasureRSS')
   stype1 = SELF:GetOption('Match1')

   stype3 = SELF:GetOption('Match3')
   titlePattern = '<title>(.-)</title>'
   itemPattern = '<item>.-</item>'
   	
end

function Update()

   allData = measureSite:GetStringValue()
   if allData == '' then return end

   dummyString, itemCount = string.gsub(allData, '<item', '')

   startPos = 0
   
   for i = 1, itemCount do
      
      currentItemStart, currentItemEnd = string.find(allData, itemPattern, startPos)
      currentItem = string.sub(allData, currentItemStart, currentItemEnd)
      
	  current_title = string.match(currentItem, titlePattern)
	  
	  if string.match(nocase(current_title), stype1) then
		SKIN:Bang('!SetOption', 'MeterName'..i, 'Text', current_title)
	elseif string.match(nocase(current_title), stype2) then
		SKIN:Bang('!SetOption', 'MeterName'..i, 'Text', current_title)
	elseif string.match(nocase(current_title), stype3) then
		SKIN:Bang('!SetOption', 'MeterName'..i, 'Text', current_title)	
		
	  
	  end
      
      startPos = currentItemEnd + 1
	        
   end
   
   SKIN:Bang('!ShowMeterGroup', 'Meters')
   
   return itemCount
  

end

function nocase (s)
      s = string.gsub(s, "%a", function (c)
            return string.format("%s", string.lower(c),
                                           string.upper(c))
          end)
      return s
    end
In this case it returns in order

Text Alpha 01 Text
BeTa 03 Text
GAMMA 31

the order depends on what you type in match1, match2 and match3.


I hope this helps you
