I have the following string:
https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=123345&id=12334&__xts__%5B0%5D=12.AboYsxZUMIF4f8fZJLZ0LVrJZJ1jxGxzsmM2lJZJ8JoGFxO1UgViHWKvUSGwxVjkzwOjfCxL-FxJY9pfgvYP6L8Kwdd4tHZl-V1OaVvl40agK3dimgois_14R0sr9rSelJ5rt0WTU5fRoHNeGv2TR3sxrewYBf2wzfMQwDKV4pV4WbLkbqFd0f1mbcpx7VjMduLhbj2MXRHO_ERg1ssEesWbCHAzvZNSmXP6LycMlYHhbaoi6m7gTpBswQR-VBkdfjk3289dfsfsdfoIgfSxaxr9oa6FATiaF2V54-QWQOKgYtuO87YzKFnNh-m_mGgVkCYIA7-YwEK10zZCmSxEtSrmWSl5ZzSXNRpMg&__tn__=%2As%2As
I need to extract with a regex this part:
https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=123345&id=12334
So I created this Regex (works perfectly in Python)
https?://(www\.|m\.)(facebook\.com)\/story\.php\?story_fbid=[0-9]+&id=[0-9]+
I've tryed to include in a robotfrawework script:
*** Settings ***
Library String
*** Variables ***
${pattern} SEPARATOR=
... https?
... ://
... (www\\.|m\\.)
... (facebook\\.com)
... /story\\.php\\?story_fbid=
... [0-9]+
... &id=
... [0-9]+
*** Test Cases ***
String should match pattern
${url}= Set Variable https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=123345&id=12334&__xts__%5B0%5D=12.AboYsxZUMIF4f8fZJLZ0LVrJZJ1jxGxzsmM2lJZJ8JoGFxO1UgViHWKvUSGwxVjkzwOjfCxL-FxJY9pfgvYP6L8Kwdd4tHZl-V1OaVvl40agK3dimgois_14R0sr9rSelJ5rt0WTU5fRoHNeGv2TR3sxrewYBf2wzfMQwDKV4pV4WbLkbqFd0f1mbcpx7VjMduLhbj2MXRHO_ERg1ssEesWbCHAzvZNSmXP6LycMlYHhbaoi6m7gTpBswQR-VBkdfjk3289dfsfsdfoIgfSxaxr9oa6FATiaF2V54-QWQOKgYtuO87YzKFnNh-m_mGgVkCYIA7-YwEK10zZCmSxEtSrmWSl5ZzSXNRpMg&__tn__=%2As%2As
${matchesp}= Get lines matching regexp ${url} ${pattern}
run keyword if $matchesp Log To Console OK MATCHED!
But it simply don't work at all (not giving any match). I unable to understand what I'm doing wrong. Thx
Use Get Regexp Matches keyword instead of Get Lines Matching Regexp.
Get Lines Matching Regexp is used to find the specific line in a multiline string.
Code:
*** Settings ***
Library String

${pattern} SEPARATOR=
