Question

I have the following kind of text inside my source code files:

html += T.m('current value of the quality level of the security service (as established from the diagnostic phase).');
or
{header: T.m("Service to Improve"), dataIndex : 'searvicesToImprove', hideable: false},
or
Ext.getCmp('MAX_ACTION_PLANS_PAGE').setText(T.m('od') + ' ' + MAX_ACTION_PLANS_PAGE);

I want to extract the substring inside of the brackets, ie. from T.m(X) I want to get the X without the quote brackets or with them, and I would trim them afterwards.

So in other words I would like something like this

regex( "T.m('X')" | "T.m("X")" );
and then say:
listOfMatches.add(X);

I know this is usually done with regexp, but I'm not that good with regexp, haven't used it much, only for basic samples. Any help is very much appriciated.

Was it helpful?

Solution

try {
    Regex regexObj = new Regex(@"T\.m\([""|'](.+?)[""|']\)");
    Match matchResults = regexObj.Match(subjectString);
    while (matchResults.Success) {
        var neededvalue = matchResults.Groups[1].Value;
    } 
} catch (ArgumentException ex) {
    // Syntax error in the regular expression
}

OTHER TIPS

var regex = new Regex(@"T\.m\((?<MyGroup>.*)\)");
var match =regex.Match(subject);
if(match.Success)
{
    var found =  match.Groups["MyGroup"].Value;
}

If you use a regex and want all the parts seperate, this might work

 #  @"(?s)T\.m\(((['""])((?:(?!\2).)*)\2)\)"

 (?s)                          # dot all modifier
 T \. m                        # 'T.m'
 \(                            # Open parenth
 (                             # (1 start), Quoted part
      ( ['"] )                      # (2), Open Quote
      (                             # (3 start), Body of quoted part
           (?:                           # grouping
                (?! \2 )                      # lookahead, not a quote
                .                             # any char
           )*                            # end grouping, do 0 or more times
      )                             # (3 end)
      \2                            # Close quote (group (2) backreference)
 )                             # (1 end), Quoted part
 \)                            # Close parenth

Just take what you need from the groups
