Quick question regarding web parsing (i know, i know !)

[dv-ent]

On one of my skins im making in rainregexp. if i enter :

(?siU)<td class="value">(.*)</td>

it actually brings back all the strings results i need in 1 ie.

01=> 96.77
02=> 106.77
03=> 96.77
04=> 292.73
05=> 244.89
06=> 3.54
07=> 2.83
08=> 2.97
09=> 29.17
10=> 28.77
11=> 27.50

how would i go about putting all of theses results in different meters ? (if i can)

am i being dumb - it just confused me that i get all the results i needed from 1 search !

hope this makes sense. thx in advance !

----------------------------------------------------------
actually a more pertinent question is - how do you get over the 'only having one line' search ?
ie. if i wanted to use :

(?siU)<ul class="numbers">

<li>(.*)</li>

how would i go about making it correct ?

...sorry im such a noob, but i really want to get the hang of this webparsing business as i can see how powerful it really is !!

Rainmeter actually won't return them all. RainRegExp (and standard Regular Expression) will, but Rainmeter is designed to return the first result in (.*), and is "ungreedy" by nature, to eliminate runaway regular expressions.

So, RegExp="(?siU)<td class="value">(.*)</td>" will return 96.77 in StringIndex=1 in your example. To get them all, you would use :

Code: Select all

RegExp="(?siU)<td class="value">(.*)</td>.*<td class="value">(.*)</td>.*<td class="value">(.*)</td>.*<td class="value">(.*)</td>.*<td class="value">(.*)</td>.*<td class="value">(.*)</td>.*<td class="value">(.*)</td>.*<td class="value">(.*)</td>"

Then you would create "child" WebParser measures to get each of the 8 StringIndex results. So you could do something like:

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
Update=1000

[Variables]
Capture=<td class="value">(.*)</td>.*
