Hi, I just have a need of using Regular expression, and I modify the procedure found
HERE in order to have all the functionality I needed (Many many Thanks mdp !!)
The code allow functionality PHP like, in Replacing all the text reference,
and Extract all the reference needed in a list
In hope that will be usefull !
Code:
;{ LIB code
ImportC ""
pcre_exec(*pcre,*extra,subject.s,length,startoffset,options,*ovector,ovecsize)
EndImport
Structure List_Extraction
Array Extract.s(0)
EndStructure
Procedure.s BackrefReplaceRegularExpression(regexp_handle, string.s, replacement.s, maximum_reference.l = 10) ; 0 <= maximum_reference <= 99
Static Dim pcre_results(202)
depart = 0
While pcre_exec(PeekL(regexp_handle), 0, string, Len(string), depart, 0, @pcre_results(), 202) > 0
; pcre_exec(PeekL(regexp_handle), 0, string, Len(string), pcre_results(1), 0, @pcre_results(), 202)
rpl.s = replacement
p = pcre_results(0)
q = pcre_results(1)
If FindString(replacement,"$0", 1)
rpl = ReplaceString(rpl, "$0", PeekS(@string + p, q - p))
EndIf
tableau_ref = 2
For _a = 1 To maximum_reference
tag$ = "$" + Str(_a)
If FindString(replacement, tag$, 1)
p1 = pcre_results(tableau_ref)
q1 = pcre_results(tableau_ref + 1)
rpl = ReplaceString(rpl, tag$, PeekS(@string + p1, q1 - p1))
EndIf
tableau_ref + 2
Next
; If FindString(replacement,"\2",1)
; p1=pcre_results(4)
; q1=pcre_results(5)
; rpl=ReplaceString(rpl,"\2",PeekS(@string+p1,q1-p1))
; EndIf
; If FindString(replacement,"\3",1)
; p1=pcre_results(6)
; q1=pcre_results(7)
; rpl=ReplaceString(rpl,"\3",PeekS(@string+p1,q1-p1))
; EndIf
