Hi Everyone, I'm still very new to this regular expression thing and I'm hoping someone can offer some help. I've been able to match parts of this but now I'm at a loss. A little background on this. I'm running a console EXE tool to generate some output to display currently logged in users in all chat rooms on a server. The original output looks like the following: --- Cut here --- OnLive! Operator Console (version 0.9.8) for 'XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX' starting. Trav2.http://travelersnetwork.net/mystery/newentrance.dsv..72ac012d HAS 1 space "NEW ENTRANCE" AT ha97:3060:3062 HAS 6 users zebratwo OHMYHEAD ºBÃB¥º TÑ-SysOp Ç¥ç£ôp§ *TÑT§* ÑÏÇK °TÑT§° WÁNÐÅ °TÑT§° Trav2.http://travelersnetwork.net/dominic/gateway.dsv..b1829958 HAS 0 spaces OnLive! Operator Console for 'XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX' signing off. --- Cut here --- 1. The first and last lines I'm shifting off the top and bottom of the string, and are not being used in my regular expression. 2. I need to filter/parse out the urls in each line that has "http://travelersnetwork.net/mystery/newentrance.dsv" as well as the digit count, as in "HAS 1 space" or "HAS 0 spaces". 3. I need to filter/parse out the room names such as "NEW ENTRANCE", as well as the user count, as in "HAS 6 users". 4. I need to filter/parse out the user name list below each room line. So the grouping as well as variable grouping would be as follows: Space Url and space count room name room count user list room name room count user list room name room count user list room name room count user list The logic is as follows: ---- Begin Logic If space count is greater than or equal to 1 parse this space list If room count is greater than or equal to 1 then parse this room user list else check/parse next space Else check/parse next space ---- End Logic Each space group can have 0 or more spaces ("rooms") Each room group can have 0 up to 20+ users. I hope all of this is clear enough to understand.. If anyone has any questions, please do not hesitate to ask. Thank you all so much for any help you can give. I greatly appreciate it.
