Findrx Problem.

[QM Assistant]

With the code below I keep receiving the error: Error (RT) in Red Wings: array is not created




Macro ( Red Wings )

Code:

Copy      Help

str Src Message url  
ARRAY(str) Game
url.from("http://redwings.nhl.com/")

IntGetFile url Src
Src.setclip
if findrx(Src "<DIV class=teamName></DIV>" 0 0 Game)
,Message.formata("%s %s" "Red wings vs. " Game[1])
,mes Message "Red wings Game" "isa"

Any idea why? I tried removing the [1] from game and then the message will work but I receive the word [null], instead of the team thats playing.

[QM Assistant]

I get the message but I dont recieve the team there playing. I get Redwings vs. [null].

[QM_Expert]

Yes i get the same thing...hmm

Please read findrx help. It returns -1 if does not find.

[QM Assistant]

I understood that, but I was just confused on why it wasn't finding anything. I just can't get the hang of findrx.

[Gintaras]

It isn't there. I pasted in wordpad and tried to find <DIV class=teamName></DIV>, and it did not find. But there is <div class="teamName">Los Angeles</div>.

[QM Assistant]

Yeah, I removed the actual teams name from there, because I was trying to have the macro find out who they were playing and paste it in a message, but its not going to be Los Angeles every time. Thats why I was confused why I was not getting anything back. Is it a necessity to keep the actual teams name in there?

[Gintaras]

In regular expressions unknown text is replaces to special characters. It is similar to when you press Win+F and want to find any file that ends with .gif you type *.gif.

[QM Assistant]

Oh I see, so there is probably a special character to find the team name? I'll look through it again and see if I can find something. Thanks.

[QM Assistant]

Hmmm, I tried it on one of the pictures, but it says too many parts, and when I trimmed it down it couldn't find it. It's no biggie, I was just bored so I was experimenting. :?

[QM Assistant]

Going back to this, anyone good with findrx want to help me out? I'm struggling to get this to find the information, and i'm not sure what i'm doing wrong.

,Message.formata("%s %s" "Red wings vs." Game)

And here I tried it with the other Teams name, yet it still doesn't find the text.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

[Gintaras]

Because findrx returns 0-based character index, or -1 if not found,

if findrx(...) means 'if found not at the beginning or not found at all'

if findrx(...)>=0 means 'if found'

[QM Assistant]

Is there something better I should try? I've tried implementing >=o and taking out if. Findrx just aint' my cup of tea .

[Gintaras]

In your example I don't see regular expression special characters. It is simple string. You can use find instead. The result will be the same.

[QM Assistant]

Okay, I tried it with find and findw, unfortunately, I recieved the same results.

IntGetFile url Src
Src.setclip
find(Src "<DIV class=teamName></DIV>" 0 Game)
,Message.formata("%s %s" "Red wings vs." Game)
,mes Message "Red wings Game" "isa"

And once again I tried it with the teams name inside and without the teams name.
