Extract parameter from string

Hi,



I have a string in a text box (text1.text = “chapter-12/heading-321/verse-41”).

I want to extract the values of chapter, heading and verse as 12,321 and 41 respectively.



Kindly help.




Thanks and regards,



Umar

This my way of getting the numbers :)

Code:

---

Option Explicit
Private Sub Command1_Click()
    'Mark A Reference to Microsoft VBScript Regular Expression 5.5 Library
    On Error GoTo Err1
    Dim regx As New RegExp
    Dim m As Match 'to get the eatch match
    Dim mc As MatchCollection  'Contains the match collections
    Dim spattern As String
    regx.Pattern = ("[0-9]+")  'Pattern to get the numerbers only
    regx.Global = True          'Search for global in the text
    If regx.Test(Text1.Text) = False Then MsgBox "No Matches": Exit Sub 'If no matches found then exit sub
    Set mc = regx.Execute(Text1.Text)  'Execute
    Debug.Print mc.Count 'no of occurance
    For Each m In mc    'Loop through each occurance and pring
        Debug.Print m.Value 'print the number values
    Next
Exit Sub
Err1:
    MsgBox Err.Description
    Exit Sub
End Sub

---

Something like this would work:

Code:

---

sub Form1_Load()
  dim s as integer
  dim arr() as string
  text1.text = “12/321/41”
  arr()=split(text1.text,"/")
  debug.print arr(0)
  debug.print arr(1)
  debug.print arr(2)
End Sub

---

try this,
I hope it's useful

Code:

---

option explicit
Sub test()
Dim d() As String
Dim s As Variant
d = Split(Text1.Text, "/")
For Each s In d
  Debug.Print Right(s, InStr(StrReverse(s), "-") - 1)
Next
End Sub

---

what about following:

[CODE]
text1.text = "chapter-1/rukoo-1/verse-1"
chlen = InStr(Text1.Text, "/rukoo") - (InStr(Text1.Text, "chapter-") + 8)
rklen = InStr(Text1.Text, "/verse") - (InStr(Text1.Text, "rukoo-") + 6)
vrlen = InStr(Text1.Text, "verse-") + 6
ch = Mid(Text1.Text, 9, chlen)
rk = Mid(Text1.Text, Len(ch) + 16, rklen)
vr = Mid(Text1.Text, Len(ch) + Len(rk) + 23, vrlen)

[\CODE]

Above code solves my problem

Hello,
as everyone is showing a method,
here comes mine, then !

Code:

---

Private Sub Command1_Click()
  toto = "chapter-12/heading-321/verse-41"
  For i = 1 To Len(toto)
    If IsNumeric(Mid(toto, i, 1)) Then
        titi = titi & Mid(toto, i, 1)
    Else
      If titi <> "" And Right(titi, 3) <> " - " Then titi = titi & " - "
    End If
  Next
  MsgBox titi
End Sub

---

and a little bit faster one, just for fun ...

Code:

---

Private Sub Command1_Click()
  toto = "chapter-12/heading-321/verse-41"
  While toto <> ""
    If IsNumeric(Mid(toto, 1, 1)) Then
      titi = titi & Val(toto) & " - "
      toto = Mid(toto, 1 + Len(Str(Val(toto))))
    Else
      toto = Mid(toto, 2)
    End If
  Wend
  MsgBox titi
End Sub
