using variable in RegExMatch

[Guest]

What is the correct way to do the following?

Zone = ^#.*z39
If RegExMatch(A_LoopReadLine, "%Zone%")

The above does not work but the below does

If RegExMatch(A_LoopReadLine, "^#.*z39")

Thank you

After further searching I think I have figured it out as it seems to work.

2 ways to go about it:

Code: Select all

Zone = ^#.*z39
If RegExMatch(A_LoopReadLine, "" . Zone . "")

or

Code: Select all

Zone = 39
If RegExMatch(A_LoopReadLine, "^#.*z" . Zone)

Hello.

Code: Select all

Zone := "^#.*z39"
If RegExMatch(A_LoopReadLine, Zone) 

Please see variables and expressions. You might find the tutorial useful.

Cheers.

So Ive been using:

Code: Select all

Zone = 39
If RegExMatch(A_LoopReadLine, "^#.*z" . Zone)

which is working fine, but now I need to add a \s for a space after Zone
I am having a difficult time figuring out how to do this.
Ive tried the obvious which does not work:

Code: Select all

Zone = 39
If RegExMatch(A_LoopReadLine, "^#.*z" . Zone\s)

Any help is appreciated. Thank you

What really should be obvious is to but the literal string part in quotes as was done with the other part.

Code: Select all

Zone = 39
If RegExMatch(A_LoopReadLine, "^#.*z" . Zone . "\s")

If you're having trouble with using Functions, do remember that all Functions use Expression mode for their parameters.
For example:

Code: Select all

Text = Hello world!	; Message of "Hello World!"
Title = Message Box	; Title of "Message Box"
Options = 0	; Just the OK button
Timeout = 0	; Timeout is infinite
MsgBox(Text, Title, Options, Timeout)

MsgBox(Text := "", Title := "", Options := "", Timeout := "") {
	MsgBox, % Options, % Title, % Text, % Timeout
}
