Hi, Benoît: I think this function is interesting: Between
Function Between(string_large as string, word_begin as string, word_end as string) as string DIM iinf AS Integer DIM isup AS Integer iinf = InStr(string_large,word_begin) + Len(word_begin) isup = InStr(string_large , word_end, iinf) RETURN Mid(string_large , iinf, isup - iinf) END The Between function is the one responsible for finding and extracting a part of a chain , this contained in a larger string between two words (or strings). example : string_large=" Hello Gambas [improvements] 3.6.9 [/improvements] :)" word1="[improvements]" word2="[/improvements]" text = Between(string_large,word1,word2) print text " 3.6.9 " Note: Ideally extend to extract parts of web pages ( "<div>" and "</div>" , and supports nested structures "<div>") text = "<div> Hello <div> bye </div> <div> " content = between ( text , "<div>", "</div>") print content "<div> bye </div> " Regards Julio 2014-12-01 14:48 GMT+01:00 Benoît Minisini <gam...@users.sourceforge.net>: > Hi, > > I'd like to create a 'gb.util' component, written in Gambas, to collect > useful non-GUI programming routines that can't go directly into the > interpreter because it would make it too heavy. > > For example: > > - Creating a directory and all its parent. > > - Removing accents from an UTF-8 string. > > - A CsvFile class to read CSV files easily. > > - Removing a directory recursively. > > - Moving a file or a directory, whether source and destination are on > the same device or not. > > ... > > If you have ideas, just drop them.
