scrape with Regex, but save without space

[Beele 3]

Hi

 

i´ll scrape adresses like this

<div class="address"> 
<h3>Christian Friedman</h3> 
<div class="adr"> Rosenstrasse 55<br>81335 München </div> </div>

and safe all, but the firstame without a space on the end. I have set this:

 

set(#first name, $find regular expression($list item(%info, 0), ".+ "), "Global")

and that´s it: Christian ,Friedmann,......   but not good for generate a #username like this:

 

set(#username, "{$table cell(&scraped info, #creation loop, 0)}0{$rand(1, 92)}", "Global")

Can anyone help me to safe the firstname or generate the username without this space ?    thx

set(#first name, $find regular expression($list item(%info, 0), ".+ "), "Global")

 

 

The regex symbol for space is an escaped 's', like this: \s

 

Your code should look maybe rather like this:

 

set(#first name, $find regular expression($list item(%info, 0), "((.)+)"), "Global")

Notice the lack of spaces.

 

If you want to add a space, it should be:

 

set(#first name, $find regular expression($list item(%info, 0), "((.)+)\\s"), "Global")

 

If the space can be omitted sometimes, you could add a modifier:

 

set(#first name, $find regular expression($list item(%info, 0), "((.)+)\\s?"), "Global")

etc...

 

Play with your REGEX here:

Hope it helps you...

Thanks @VaultBoss for your help ! 

 

The problem was not to scrape it with Regex, but i have found it !! I need to $trim the $find regular expression and it works.

 

I´m happy!
