Regex To Get Words Between 2 Dashes

[daverawcus 6]

Hi guys

 

 

I am trying to grab just the weekday in this case Thursday for 

 

C:\\Users\Rawcus\Desktop\couldbeanythingtext_1234-Thursday-1537.png

 

It will always have a - in front and behind 

 

ie -Thursday-

 

 

It will always have a file path as well and some text before containing possibly numbers and an underscore 

 

can anyone help 

 

 

Thanks in advance

Try this:

(?<=[a-zA-Z0-9_]-)[a-zA-Z]+(?=-)

also this -

(?<=-)[^-]+(?=-)

Thanks guys thats helped lots

 

am stuck on 

 

getting the first 2 digits from a 4 digit number 

 

ie 1359

 

I want 13 

 

 

I can grab all the number just not the first 2, I know I need a {2} to grab only 2 I just can't do it! 

 

 

(^\d+)

Well you haven't mentioned anything else about the line the digits are on..are you saying this doesn't work?

 

 

 

I need a {2} to grab only 2 I just can't do it! 

 

 

alert($find regular expression(1359,"^(\\d\{2,2\})"))

alert($find regular expression(1359,"^\\d\\d"))

 this works too! 

 

or 

 

alert($find regular expression(1359,"^[0-9][0-9]"))       

 

 

Again , like I said we need to know the placement of the digits in a line - if this doesn't work.

[Sanjeev 46]

Or maybe you want to capture the digits into a named group?

[daverawcus 6]

there are on their own line

 

That works perfect in UBot thanks alot

 

 

but not in Note++ which is odd

[Sanjeev 46]

there is a bug in Ubot -where \d{2} doesn't work.. have to use this form -- \d{2,2}
