Execution halted

[andry81]

Have the file:

# dest: "d:\blabla"
#> c:\myshortcuts1\|test1.txt.lnk
e:\blabla\|test1.txt
#> c:\myshortcuts2\|test2.txt.lnk
e:\blabla\|test2.txt

Want to replace to:

# dest: "d:\blabla"
#> c:\myshortcuts1\|test1.txt.lnk
c:\myshortcuts1\|test1.txt
#> c:\myshortcuts2\|test2.txt.lnk
c:\myshortcuts2\|test2.txt

The expression:

Selected,Find,Replace,WholeWord,MatchCase,UseVariables,Regex,Extended
1,"^([^\\r\\n\\|]+)(\\|([^\\r\\n\\|]+)(?:\\|([^\\r\\n\\|]+)(?:\\|([^\\r\\n\\|]+))?)?)?","init({DESTDIR=""""}); if CAP1 ~= nil and string.sub(CAP1,1,2) == ""#>"" then DESTDIR=string.sub(CAP1,4,-1) elseif CAP1 ~= nil and string.len(DESTDIR) and CAP2 ~= nil then set(DESTDIR..""|""..CAP2) end",0,0,1,0,1

Result:

---------------------------
Use Variables: Execution Error
---------------------------
Execution halted due to execution failure in:

init({DESTDIR=""}); if CAP1 ~= nil and string.sub(CAP1,1,2) == "#>" then DESTDIR=string.sub(CAP1,4,-1) elseif CAP1 ~= nil and string.len(DESTDIR) and CAP2 ~= nil then set(DESTDIR.."|"..CAP2) end
---------------------------
OK   
---------------------------

Can you help with the expression?

Hi andry81,

There is a rule which was breached but not documented yet: set, cond, and init are not allowed to be used in if statements. I will document this. Here is the replacement string that will work with your find string:

init({DESTDIR=""}); if CAP2 ~= nil then DESTDIR = DESTDIR..CAP2 end; cond(string.sub(CAP1, 1, 1) ~= "#", DESTDIR); if CAP2 ~= nil then DESTDIR=string.sub(CAP1,4,-1) end

However, I recognized that backslashes were deleted. I will prepare a fix for this.
