for line in string.gfind [lua]

[Luk4ward]

hello,

i have a question about capturing data using this for...I got a file with lines:

Code: Select all

# <- ignore this line
# # is for comment
Hex string with 32 length=blabla
Hex string with 32 length=blabla
Hex string with 32 length=blabla
Hex string with 32 length=blabla
Hex string with 32 length=blabla
Hex string with 32 length=blabla
Hex string with 32 length=blabla
Hex string with 32 length=blabla
Hex string with 32 length=blabla

I want to capture only and exactly the hex string the rest i want to ignore and switch to next line etc.

when im using:

Code: Select all

for hex, comment in string.gfind(filestr, "([^\r\n#=]%x+)=([^#=]+)") do

... smth

print hex
print comment

end

im getting:

Code: Select all

hex&#58; some hex <- matched
comment&#58; blabla
some hex <- why here ?
hex&#58; some hex <- matched
comment&#58; blabla
some hex <- why here ?
hex&#58; some hex <- matched
comment&#58; blabla
some hex <- why here ?
hex&#58; some hex <- matched
comment&#58; blabla
some hex <- why here ?
hex&#58; some hex <- matched

I gave up, i really hate those capturing. Please for help and thx in advance

probely becase the comment match not only the command but also the \n and the hex at the next line until it finds a new #

try

Code: Select all

for hex, comment in string.gfind(filestr, "([^\r\n#=]%x+)=([^\r\n#=]+)") do
