on mouseUp
local tmp
put fld 1 into tList
-- \s match space and tab
-- get "\s[0-9]\s" -- any 0 to 9 single number
-- get "\s[1-4][0-9]\s" -- accept 10 to 49
-- get "\s[1-4]\d\s" -- accept 10 to 49
-- get "\s[1-4]?\d\s" -- accept 0 to 49
get "\s[1-4]?(\d){1,3}\s" -- accept 0 to 4999
repeat for each line L in tList
if matchText( L, IT ) then put L &cr after tmp
end repeat
put tmp
end mouseUp
Forget about filter; it doesn't play with regex, just sort of...
my fld test contains:
hjkdf sdfsdflkj 987 dsf sdf sdf
fgffg gf gf 4998 fd ddf ddfd
fgffg gf gf 5000 fd ddf ddfd
ere e re eeee1234567890eeeeeeeee
gfgjfkgf dfglwer 0 fdfsla sdfsdf
gfgjfkgf dfglwer 42 fdfsla sdfsdf
try tytry retert 41 dfsdffdsd
sdflk; asdf 33 dfdfdfsa dsfsdff
kjklj jlkjlk 7 ljlkj lkjkjlkj jljljkl
And it's fast.
HTH,
Thierry
