Get badges information with Rainmeter webparser

I'm trying to do a skin for Rainmeter which display reputation score and number of badges from an user profile page. Everything works great if the user have at least one badge from each category (gold, silver, bronze), but in my case for example, I don't have any gold badges yet and the skin looks something like enter image description here. The desired output will be something like Stack Overflow 401 0 1 7. My actual code is the following.

I read something about Webparser Lookahead Assertions and try to do a working RegExp but with no success. The best result I had was (?siU)<span class="reputation-score">(.*)</span>(?(?=.*<span title="(.*) gold))(?(?=.*<span title="(.*) silver))(?(?=.*<span title="(.*) bronze)) but it didn't provide what i want. What should be the correct RegExp? Thanks!

Solution

  • I had given up with this little project, but today I finally succeed. Stackoverflow has recently changed his look a bit and his classes and HTML too. So, now I was able to parse the desire information using the Lookahead Assertions method metion in the Rainmeter docs. For everyone who it's interested I will post my working RegExp below. Also, a link to entire Rainmeter Skin will be available soon.

    RegExp=(?siU)<div class="reputation" title="reputation">(.*)<span.*(?(?=.*class="badge1-alternate").*<span class="badge1"></span><span class="badgecount">(.*)</span></span>).*(?(?=.*class="badge2-alternate").*<span class="badge2"></span><span class="badgecount">(.*)</span></span>).*(?(?=.*class="badge3-alternate").*<span class="badge3"></span><span class="badgecount">(.*)</span></span>)
