regexp on eg.event.string

[Fiasco]

I have an event where the value is passed after the final decimal. How can I grab that with a regexp and pass it to a action?

Broadcast.volumelevel.45

[jinxdone]

Well.. the simplest way is to use plain string split to split it into an array, no need to use regexp for something simple like this

Code: Select all

print('Broadcast.volumelevel.45'.split('.'))
# prints an array ['Broadcast', 'volumelevel', '45']

If you wanted you could do it with regexp with something like..

Code: Select all

import re
r = re.search('[^\.]+?$', 'Broadcast.volumelevel.45')
print(r.group(0))
# prints the string '45'.

regexp is really useful though, not only in python but everywhere in programming, so I really recommend learning it to everybody. http://www.regular-expressions.info/ is a good site for reading up on it.
