subfile options... including special characters...

[Dino]

Hi

In aXes 4.2.1, I am trying to expand the subfile options rules in autogui to support more than numbers, but regex is not exactly my forte.

Any ideas how to be able to modify the expression to support characters like @ and % as subfile options? My example only show a few options, but the final requirement have a lot of them, exceeding numbers and letters....

you can see here the presentation in aXes and the rule I am trying to change:

Currently my rule is like this, using (\d+|\%|\@) to indicate digit(s) or % or @:

Code: Select all

(\d+|\%|\@)( *(?:=))(.*?)(?=(?:\b(?:\d+|[a-z]|\%|\@) *(?:=)| \.\.\.$|$))( \.\.\.)?

the partial expression regex (\%|\d+|\@)(=) test fine in https://regexr.com/ but seems that I am missing something...

Hi Dino
The following character have special meaning, and should be preceded by a \ (backslash) to represent a literal character:
+*?^$\.[]{}()|/

Within a character set, only \, -, and ] need to be escaped.

So try
(\d+|%|@)

I would start with
(.)
then
(\d+|.)
then
(%)
then
(@)

etc
