_random

Since Sahi Pro: 3.5
Since Sahi OS: 2

_random($maxNumber)

Arguments
$maxNumberinteger maximum number

_extract

Since Sahi Pro: 4.3
Since Sahi OS: NA

_extract($str, $pattern[, $onlyGroups])

Arguments
$str s String to find pattern in
$pattern string|regular expression Regular expression as native regex (/a/) or as a string ("/a/")
$onlyGroups b optional if true, returns only the groups matched.

Details

This API helps extract specific content from strings.

Example
// To get value "250" from "Rs. 250"
_extract("Rs. 250", "/Rs. (.*)/", true); // returns "250"
_extract("Rs. 250", "/Rs. (.*)/"); // returns an array ["Rs. 250", "250"]


// Multiple groups with and without onlyGroups
var $str = "The traffic light changed from red to green";
var $pattern = "/from (.*) to (.*)/";

var $extracted = _extract($str, $pattern);
// $extracted now has the overall match "from red to green" and the individual groups "red" and "green"
_assertEqual(["from red to green", "red", "green"], $extracted);

// Setting onlyGroups=true, we do not get back the overall match.
var $extracted = _extract($str, $pattern, true);
// $extracted now has only the individual groups "red" and "green"
_assertEqual(["red", "green"], $extracted);
