newbie needs regex help

[Victor Bravo 0]

I want to extract a number from a long url. A sample might look like this:

http://www.whatever.com?anotherwhatever&UID=123456&somemorewhatevers

 

I want to extract just the UID number. I tried to use the regex editor but I don't know how it's supposed to work. Are there any videos yet on using this regex editor? Can anyone give me the regex for what I need from this url?

 

Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

Here you go:

 

(?<=UID\=)\d+

Thanks for the fast reply.

 

Can you post a code snippet so I can see how a regex is applied in the code?

 

Thanks.

Sure thing, I think you should be able to copy these into standard ubot one at a time

set(#url, "http://www.whatever.com/?anotherwhatever&UID=123456&somemorewhatevers", "Global")
set(#uid, $find regular expression(#url, "(?<=UID\\=)\\d+"), "Global")
