Connected Bluetooth device (RegExpSubstitute)

Post by StArL0rd84 »

I found this Bluetooth command line utility that lists paired and connected devices.
But I want to treat the output to only show the name of the connected device using RegExpSubstitute.
In this case it should be 'OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z'. This is where I need help...

The output looks like this:

Code: Select all

Start discovering devices for 10 seconds

I downloaded the app and tried it.

You need to allow the app on Windows.

Not exactly sure why you where not able to use it on your system without "allowing" it. maybe you are not admin?
Anyways, I made a example skin for you to try out.
BtDiscovery_1.rmskin
Should look like this:
output.png
The program works fine on my machine with no issues.
Although it takes about 10 seconds for the measure to return the list. (can live with that)
Ultimately I just need help with the syntax in the RegExpSubstitute,
so I just end up with whatever name is next to the connected status in the result.

Didn't try your program, but this may get you what you want.

Code: Select all

RegExpSubstitute=1
Substitute="^.*\|Connected\|(.*)\|\|LE.*$":"\1"
Adding it to your RunCommand measure should return the first connected device name as the value of the measure.

Looked like it would work , but I'm afraid it doesn't.
Spits out same result, no changes.

Tried with parentages like this too:

Code: Select all

RegExpSubstitute=1
Substitute="^(.*\|Connected\|)(.*)(.*\|\|LE.)*$":"\1"
A script measure to quickly test syntax:

Code: Select all

[MeasureString]
Measure=String
String=|  |98:09:cf:d3:32:93|Connected|OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z              |
RegExpSubstitute=1
Substitute="^.*\|Connected\|(.*)\|\|LE.*$":"\1"
;Substitute=" ":"-""^.*Connected\|(.*)-.*$":"\1"

Try:

This worked for me using your skin... returned my Buetooth headphones.

For me, that looks like this for me:

It does not output the name alone.


The following works perfectly for me in a string measure:

Code: Select all

[MeasureString]
Measure=String
String=|  |98:09:cf:d3:32:93|Connected|OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z              |
RegExpSubstitute=1
Substitute="^.*\d\d\|Connected\|(.*)\|.*$":"\1"
But not in the main measure, so im trying this right now:

Code: Select all

[mBluetoothDevicePairing]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=RunCommand
Program=#BluetoothDevicePairing#
Parameter=discover
OutputType=ANSI
DynamicVariables=1
RegExpSubstitute=1
Substitute="^.*\d\d\|Connected\|(.*)\|#CRLF#\|.*$":"\1"

It looks like you may need an additional substitution to handle eliminating devices that are 'Paired' but not 'Connected'.
I'm about at the limit of my knowledge on RegExp :oops:

Hopefully someone else may jump in with help,
or our 'Trial'n Error' method will eventually produce the desired result :thumbup:
