RegExp for Nested IF 1

[jibberski]

Trying to setup pattern to return the outer If statement

Expression: IF(X=1,IF(y=2),1,0),0)*5/3
Returned should be: IF(X=1,IF(y=2),1,0),0)

Here's what I have for a pattern: (IF\()+(.)+\)

Thanks for your help!

Well, this pattern works for the test case that you presented:

IF\(.*\)

Sorry a little misleading in my post. I'm trying to parse out the IF statements. Matching the parentheses. Is this possible?

Matches should be: IF(X=1,IF(y=2),1,0),0) and IF(y=2),1,0)

EBGreen thanks for the headstart !

Are you aware the innermost IF seems syntaxically incorrect ?

 

[jibberski]

I am now !

Try two (this time straight cut and paste):

IF( Corner Trim? ,ROUNDTO(( # of outside corners +IF( Inside Corner Trim? , # of inside corners ,0))* Wall Height - Siding ,1,0),0)

I don't think you can do this with a straight Regex. I take that back, I don't think you can do it with a straight regex in VBSCript. I'm pretty sure that you could in a laguage that supports a richer regex syntax like Perl. What you are really looking for is a recursive parsing routine. I think you are probably going to need to roll your own unless you get lucky on google.

Using VBA in access 2003 with the VBScript engine checked on
so guess I'm rollin' my own

After some hard knocks to the head:

What about a replace string for IF to a function XX(,,)

How can I run a RegExp.Replace to fixup the
IF(.,.,.) to XX(".",".",".") for condition, true, false??

 

[EBGreen]

Again I'm not sure that you can do this through a single regex since you are really doing a few replacements. You essentially need to do these replacements:

IF becomes XX
( becomes ("
, becomes ","
) becomes ")
