Check text and edit if..

[m0tSiE]

Hi,

I'm looking to check a string of text that looks like one of the following:

????
or
???? (Ref:????)

If the string of text looks like the second option, i'm wanting to copy the ???? in the brackets and delete the " (Ref" part.

Is this possible?

Thanks Gintaras,

Can you show me how to set s to be what is on the clipboard?

str s
s.getclip ;;makes s equal to what's in the clipboard.
s.setclip ;;makes the clipboard equal to what s is.
