AHK V2: match object: backreference name as key? Topic is solved

[SAbboushi]

Is there a way to get match object keys to be the backreference names instead of backreference numbers, or is that a feature request?

I had an AHK v1 example here, which I've converted to AHK v2:
jeeswg's RegEx tutorial (RegExMatch, RegExReplace) - AutoHotkey Community
https://autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=28031

Code: Select all

q::
RegExMatch(A_Now, "^(?P<Year>\d{4})(?P<Month>\d{2})(?P<Day>\d{2})", oMatch)
MsgBox(oMatch.Year " " oMatch.Month " " oMatch.Day)
return

Is that what you want?

Thanks for that!
