Forums Feature Suggestions $regtok()

it would be nice a new identifier $regtok that the separator will be a regular expression, like:
$regtok(blah1bla2test,2,\d)
the separator is a digit so it will return bla
$regtok(asfjlasfOsfjkahsfjasPsafjsahfkj,0,[A-Z])
will return 3..
etc

nifty idea. It should be able to include multiple characters even. You could simplify so many regular expressions this way, without cumbersom back-references.

$regtok(abc...def...ghi,1,/\.{3}/)
$regex(abc...def...ghi,/(.*?)\.{3}|\.{3}(.*?)/g) ... $regml(1)
Actually, that expression wont work without a \G or pos() somewhere, but I can't figure it out right now.
it's only returning 'abc' and 'def' but not 'ghi'.

The t* versions are used in an inverse manner where the paterns are the token string and you want to verify which patern matchs the given token.

Meanwhile, you can use this simple alias:It doesn't support token ranges (eg $regtok(<input>,1-3,<regex>) ) but it supports negative tokens. It's very possible to make it support ranges (by using the .pos property in $regml()) but it gets kinda slower and I won't attempt to make it unless you need it.

uh thanks
