Another interesting argument, is that they allow you to distribute your "App", if you clearly add from where the data are provided.
Nothing more or less than we do with Weather.com.

Anyway, I agree with jsmorley, because that A with ^ is a unicode problem.

I just tried this and it returns with "RegExp matching error (-1)" in the log.

Here's what the meters and measures look like so far:

Code: Select all

(?siU).*"currently":.*\{.*"temperature":(.*),.*

Try this one.
It works for me.

P.S.: you have to use the backslash \ before { because this one is a reserved character.

RESERVED CHARACTERS:

There are a few "reserved characters" in Regular Expressions. They are:

[ \ ^ $ . | ? * + ( { }

If you use these characters in a "search" or "endsearch" component, RegExp will assume they are commands, not text, and the expression will fail. To use these characters, you must "escape" them with the "\" (backslash) character. Use "\\" to escape the "\" character itself.

This one works! Thank you sooooooo much!

URL=file://#CURRENTPATH#WebParserDump.txt

While you are designing and testing. That way you don't blow through your 1,000 free calls for the day while you are hammering it over and over to tweak the design.

When you are happy, then change the URL back.

Thanks, this is some incredibly helpful information to know when working with these sorts of things, I've got to have gone through like 600 yesterday and this morning. xD

Now the only problem that I know about is when refreshing it, I can see the degree sign, but the it disappears and is replaced with a 6. It's trying to say 67 degrees but even with changing the width it won't show the whole thing.

Interrogative: Is it necessary to have the .* at the beginning and ending of the regex? Or, will this code also work?

Code: Select all

(?siU)"currently":.*"temperature":(.*),

Have you tried your RegExp? If yes, does it work? It's easy to investigate yourself...
