Forums Scripts & Popups Regex help

I'm trying to make a /filter exclude empty lines and the ones starting with ";" (comments), but also:

(space)(space)(...) ; comment
(tab)(tab)(...) ; comment

Any ideas? I don't know regex .

I think something like:
/filter -xg in.txt out.txt ^(;|((\t|\x20)*;)|$)
will do what you want.

Also a note, when you said like (space)(space)(...); and (tab)(tab)(...); I also assumed you meant things like (space)(tab)(tab)(space)(...); to be ignored too. That regex should ignore any line that starts with any combination of tabs and spaces followed by a ; as well as blank lines and lines that start with a ; hope thats what you wanted

It works, thanks!

One more thing...
If i have a list like:

"blah1" "blah2" "blah3" (...)

How would i extract the values between ""?
So every one would be filled in $regml(N).

I tried something like /"(.*)"{1,}/ but it's obviously wrong

/"([^"]*)"/g

What you were missing is the /g modifier.

Thanks
