Sure, but we're not parsing here,meisl wrote:Generally, isn't parsing HTML just (=definitely, provably) beyond what one can do with regular expressions?
but instead just "describing" a grammar of our strings, which is sufficient for most purposes.
Of course, parsing in the literal sense is != Regular Expressions.
RegEx is just one lexing step there, whose output is used afterwards.
The idea is to just use the RegEx results and save them all at once.
If you have a decent distinction between the different strings, it works.
If not (like in the example from trevor12), you're limited or have to work around it.
Anyway, I don't think the idea as such is new.
You're probably able to do the same with the Unix shell utilities
grep, AWK and/or sed, but probably not very comfortable (scripting).
Well, I'm trying to reproduce it, but it works like expected for me all the time.adoeller wrote:the stats were written when adding a new setting. i have to enable and disable the button, then it works as it should
Can you describe the steps you did until this happens?
