How can I substitute something like this fx([0-9]{3})

[Xeramon]

Hey,

I got a little issue (again), my substitute looks like this:

Substitute="fx1":"","fx2":"","fx3":"",[..]"fx23":"","fx24":"","fx25":"",[..]"fx154":"","fx155":"","fx156":""

but is it possible to make somethink like this(?):

Substitute="fx([0-9]{3})":""

I am sorry for my broken english

Yes you can. See the manual: http://rainmeter.net/cms/Measures-Substitute_beta

You must add RegExpSubstitute=1 to the measure.

RegExpSubstitute=1
Substitute="fx([0-9][0-9][0-9]|[0-9][0-9]|[0-9])":""

[MerlinTheRed]

Why not "fx[0-9]{1,3}":"" ?

[jsmorley]

Why not "fx[0-9]{1,3}":"" ?

Oh, derp... I had "or" on my mind mind from something else that involved text instead of numbers. Yeah, that will work as well, as is a bit shorter.

I am not sure why, but
RegExpSubstitute=1
Substitute="fx[0-9]{1,3}":"",

Is crashing my rainmeter.

RegExpSubstitute=1
Substitute="fx([0-9][0-9][0-9]|[0-9][0-9]|[0-9])":""

also.

Edit
This is what im trying to use:
Substitute="fx([0-9][0-9][0-9]|[0-9][0-9]|[0-9])":"","=</span>":"","-":"",'"':'',"<center>":"#CRLF#","|":"","/":"","</center>":"","<span class=":"",">":"","</span>":"","</span class":"","span":"","class":"","<":"",">":""

(I know its a bit disorganized)

Edit: Nevermind, I revrote my Substitute and it works now. Thank you very much!

Substitute="fx[0-9]{1,3}":"","<center>":"#CRLF#","</center>":"","</span>":"","<span class=":"","<":"",">":"",'"':'',"-=":""

You have to take care to escape special characters in regexps. For example, "|" is an "or", so "|":"," might have caused a problem. If you want to match a literal "|" you have to use "\|".
