another regexp problem

There's nothing wrong with your regexp, you just missed the 2nd var at the end.
Regexp writes the entire matching pattern to the first var.

So this should work:

Code:

regexp {\.html\?witem=([0-9]*?)\>} $text garbage result

You dont have to make it this complex, though. You could probably have gotten away with doing something like this:

Code:

regexp {witem=(.*?)>} $text . digit

another regexp problem

2005-08-16T06:56:27-04:00

hi there!

I started to concern myself with regexp now, and I already have a problem:

the string ($text):

Code:

Destiny

my code:

Code:

regexp {\.html\?witem=([0-9]*?)\>} $text result

I know there's anything wrong with it, but I don't know what.

the match I get is: .html?witem=647>
but I want to get: 647

thanks for any help!

regards,
eiSi
