[SOLVED] Regex Substitutions Not Working

Post by arbrown »

I'm having an issue where I'm pulling data from a website using a regular expression. The data I'm pulling is from a table that gets updated regularly (it's a baseball score), but when the score is empty, the website inserts a " " into the table cell.

I've substituted &nbsp with a regular space in my code, but I'm still getting the actual text showing up when it displays.

Is this something that can be fixed, or am I SOL because the data is being parsed directly?

Here's the code (borrowed from Mr. Morley's IP.ini):

Code: Select all

Re: Regex Substitutions Not Working

You've defined your substitution string as a general variable, but you haven't actually applied it to your WebParser measures. Each measure must reference the variable, as such:

Code: Select all

[MeasureHomeTeam]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Plugins\WebParser.dll
Url=[MeasureWebsite]
StringIndex=1
Substitute=#Substitute#

[MeasureHome1]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Plugins\WebParser.dll
Url=[MeasureWebsite]
StringIndex=2
Substitute=#Substitute#

[MeasureHome2]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Plugins\WebParser.dll
Url=[MeasureWebsite]
StringIndex=3
Substitute=#Substitute#
And so on, for each WebParser measure. The skin worked fine for me after I made these changes. :)
