Please help clarify my regex pattern
- by Dmitriy Sosunov
I have the following string:
<script>m('02:29:1467301/>Sender1*>some text message?<<02:29:13625N1/>Sender2*>Recipient2: another message??<>A<<02:29:1393100=>User1*|0User2*|%></B><<','');</script>
N.B. messages are separated by <<
I need extract from message the following parts:
1. Time
2. Sender
3. Recipient
4. Text
Recipient may being defined or not, this field is optional.
I do this by the following pattern:
(?<message>(?<time>\d{1,2}:\d{1,2}:[0-9a-z]+)/>(?<messageData>(?<sender>.+?)\*>(.+?)))<<
But, I cannot extract recipient separately from the message text.
(?<message>(?<time>\d{1,2}:\d{1,2}:[0-9a-z]+)/>(?<messageData>(?<sender>.+?)\*>(((?<recipient>.+?):){0,1}(?<messageText>.+?))))<<
Please help correct my pattern.
