need to pull specific line out of Variable

VB Scripts >> need to pull specific line out of Variable

I have a script that creates a Variable "output" that contains the
following

Username: XXXXXX
Password:

WELCOME TO THE TEST ENVIRONMENT ROUTER

xxxxxx-TEST-BRANCH#ping 1.1.1.1

Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 1.1.1.1, timeout is 2 seconds:
.....
Success rate is 0 percent (0/5)
xxxxxx-TEST-BRANCH#ping 1.1.1.1

Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 1.1.1.1, timeout is 2 seconds:
...!!
Success rate is 40 percent (2/5)
xxxxxx-TEST-BRANCH#

the above info is stored in memory in the variable OUTPUT. I need to
be able to look for the 2 "success rate" lines and place them in 2
seperate variables.
Success1 and Success2

help.

Try:

Dim sTest : sTest = Join( Array( _
"Username: XXXXXX" _
, "Password: " _
, "" _
... etc ...
, "....." _
, "Success rate is 0 percent (0/5)" _
, "xxxxxx-TEST-BRANCH#ping 1.1.1.1" _
... etc ...
, "...!!" _
, "Success rate is 40 percent (2/5)" _
, "xxxxxx-TEST-BRANCH#" _
), vbCrLf )
Dim rePiPro : Set rePiPro = New RegExp
' Success rate is 0 percent (0 /5)
rePiPro.Pattern = "Success rate is \d+ percent \(\d+/\d+\)"
rePiPro.Global = True
Dim oMTS : Set oMTS = rePiPro.Execute( sTest )
Dim oMT
For Each oMT In oMTS
WScript.Echo ">" + oMT.Value + "<"
Next

I'm sure there's a really incomprehensible regular expression that does
this with a single command, but I' will let somebody else handle posting
that. Here is a non-regexp way:

First of all, you need to determine the character being used to cause
the line breaks. It is usually a combination of two characters, denoted
by the vbCrLf constant, but it could be either vbCr or vbLf. Let's
assume it is the usual vbCrLf. The idea is to use the Break function to
break up the string based on the vbCrLf characters, populating an array
with the string fragments:

dim ar
ar=Break(OUTPUT,vbCrLf)

Now simply loop through the array looking for the string "Success rate"
in the array elements:

for each s in ar
if instr(lcase(s),"success rate")> 0 then
if len(success1) = 0 then
success1=s
else
success2=s
exit for
end if
end if
next

VB Scripts >> need to pull specific line out of Variable There are a lot of ways you can do it.
This one should be fairly quick and easy:

(Note there's no error checking added here.)

Dim Success1, Success2, A1, i, Boo, s
Boo = False
A1 = Split(output, vbCrLf)
For i = 0 to ubound(A1)
s = A1(i)
If instr(1, s, "success", 1) > 0 Then
If Boo = True Then
Success2 = A1(i)
Else
Success1 = A1(i)
End If
Boo = True
End If
Next

Oops! Wrong language. Split(), not Break()

Don't you mean Split in place of Break?

ar = Split(OUTPUT, vbCrLf)
