Problem finding what I want :)
Submitted by Ziabuch on Thursday, 23 September, 2010 - 15:07
Hello Smiling

I would like to search for the following expression in the text file:

$123 1

Of course the command for this is SearchAndReplace.setSearchString("$123 1");

And it works.

The problem is - that the "123" part of this string is random. So what I really need to find is the first "$", ignore the next 3 digits, find 1 space and finally find "1".

How to create a search command to ignore that "123", or "243" or whatever it may be?

For example if I want to list the file 123AA.txt, I simply put the command "dir ???AA.txt". Is that possible when using BeanShell?

Thanks for advice Smiling
Z.

Regular Expressions

It's possible with "Regular Expressions" ( http://www.jedit.org/users-guide/regexps.html ).

You'd have to set:
SearchAndReplace.setRegexp(true);
SearchAndReplace.setSearchString("\$[0-9][0-9][0-9] 1");
