Using Regular Expressions to Remove Property?

[buddyrich2]

I'm trying to use a pre-defined Foxpro object that creates a JSON string but it includes a property in the output that I do not need. I was told that I could use Regular Expressions to remove this property. Does anyone know how to do this?

I was told that I could use Regular Expressions to remove this property.

That's a new one on me.

Is there any reason why you can't use REMOVEPROPERTY() ?

Buddyrich,

Sorry ... I should have read your post more closely. It's a property of the JSON string that you want to remove, not of a VFP object. Is that right?

If so, then you can indeed do it with a regular expression, but it's probably a lot easier to use VFP's native string handling.

If you could show the string that you have produced, and the bit that you want to remove, I'm sure someone here will be able to guide you.

Mike

Thanks Mike, indeed after reading your post I found a way using regular foxpro functions to change the JSON string.

I appreciate your help.
