Hello all,
I have the following line in a text file
Total 3250 5 0 0 0 0 8797 17 0 0 0
0 9264 18 0 0 0 0 9207 14 0 0 0
0 6925 10 0 0 0 0
(this is the entire line, but it's just wrapped)
I have a regex that will get the values after the four digit numbers( (5, 17,
18, 14 and 10).....it is
^Total\s+\d+\s+(\d+)(?:\s+\d+){5}\s+(\d+)(?:\s+\d+){5}\s+(\d+)(?:\s+\d+){5}\s+(\d+)(?:\s+\d+){5}\s+(\d+)
(they won't always be four digit numbers so I can't put that in my regex)
Now, this is great, when I have 5 numbers that I need to retrieve..... but if
the line looked like
Total 3250 5 0 0 0 0 8797 17 0 0 0
0 9264 18 0 0 0 0
then there wouldn't be a match. Anyone have ideas of how this can be adapted
to say that if there are at least 2 sets of numbers (a set would be 3250 5 0
0 0 0 - in the case above there are 3 "sets" and at the top there are 5) and
a maximum of 6 sets of numbers it would get the number in the second
place....in this case it would get 5, 17 and 18.
I know this is confusing, but any help is appreciated,
Kevin
