Re: [flexcoders] Using Flex to extract a phrase from a text file

[Adam Royle]

Regexp will save the world, one text document at a time.

var s:String = "some long \"text\" goes in here and a swf url 
\"one/two/three.swf\" went in there";
var re:RegExp = new RegExp('"([^"]+.swf)"','i');
var m:Array = s.match(re);
  
trace(m[1]); // one/two/three.swf

Cheers,
Adam

  Subject: [flexcoders] Using Flex to extract a phrase from a text file


  I have one text file with about 100 lines of random text. Somewhere on
  the file, there is an URL for a SWF. The url has the .swf word in it,
  and it's between "'s . The format of the file can change over time,
  and there is only one SWF file on the text file. 

  I need to find the best algorithm to extract the URL from the text
  file. Any suggestions?

  Thanks,
