Is there some wildcard characters for Inno Setup? I am trying to go through string and if there is some value that I'm searching for, the program should return 1 (I'm using Pos()
function that already does what I need), but my problem here is that the part of string that I'm searching for is not static, so I need some wildcard character like *
that can replace one or more characters.
There was no pattern matching functionality in Inno Setup Pascal Script until recently. Since 6.1, you can use the WildcardMatch
function (as the answer by @Roman shows).
If you are stuck with an older version, or if you need a custom matching, you can use a function like this:
function AnythingAfterPrefix(S: string; Prefix: string): Boolean;
begin
Result :=
(Copy(S, 1, Length(Prefix)) = Prefix) and
(Length(S) > Length(Prefix));
end;
And use it like:
if AnythingAfterPrefix(S, 'Listing connections...') then
You may want to add TrimRight
to ignore trailing spaces:
if AnythingAfterPrefix(TrimRight(S), 'Listing connections...') then
