Hello,
I'd like to read some information from a webpage with WebParser. On the webpage sometimes appeares this line:
<TD width="60%" bgColor=#ffffff title=40%> </TD> - the bold number should be read.
Other times two similar lines:
<TD width="40%" bgColor=#00ffff title=40%> </TD>
<TD width="60%" bgColor=#ffffff title=40%> </TD> - here also the bold number should be read.
If I'm using this RegExp: <TD width="(.*)%" bgColor=#ffffff, can I determine somehow the WebParser to read always just the number which appeares befor the percent sign? Because in the second case two lines of string are readed, instead of the number.
Thank you

Re: Reading a number with WebParser
If you don't explicitly set your RegExp to be ungreedy by adding (?U) to the start of the RegExp or by using (.*?) instead of (.*), it will always match as much as it can. In the second case, everything after the first "<TD width=" until the last "%" bgColor=#ffffff".
Try this one: "<TD width="(\d+)%" bgColor=#ffffff". The \d matches only digits. \d+ means one or more digits.
Try this one: "<TD width="(\d+)%" bgColor=#ffffff". The \d matches only digits. \d+ means one or more digits.
Have more fun creating skins with Sublime Text 2 and the Rainmeter Package!
