Irregular Expressions
by TenFont​

Irregular Expressions are code snippets that I created by utilizing RegEx (Regular expressions). Credit is given where credit is due.


1 Floor Timespan
A simple function to round down a timespan, eliminating all decimals.

Spoiler: Snippet

Code (Skript):

1. function floorTimespan(time: timespan) :: timespan:
2.     set {_s} to join (regex split "%{_time}%" at ".\d+")
3.     return {_s} parsed as timespan

Spoiler: Usage

Code (Skript):

1. set {_a} to "2 minutes and 37.49 seconds" parsed as timespan
2. broadcast floorTimespan({_a})
3. # output: 2 minutes and 37 seconds

2 Split String At Every N Characters
Efficiently splits a string at every N characters.

Spoiler: Snippet

Code (Skript):

1. function splitAt(str: string, n: integer) :: strings:
2.     if {_n} > 0:
3.         return regex split {_str} at "(?<=\G.{%{_n}%})"
4.     return {_str}

Spoiler: Usage

Code (Skript):

1. broadcast splitAt("ABCDEFG", 2)
2. # output: AB, CD, EF and G

3 Format A Number With Commas
Format a number with commas, making it more readable. Also accepts decimals.

Spoiler: Snippet

Code (Skript):

1. function formatNumber(x: num) :: string:
2.     set {_x::*} to split "%{_x}%" at "."
3.     set {_x::1} to (join (regex split {_x::1} at "(?<=\d)(?=(\d\d\d)+(?!\d))") by ",")
4.     return join {_x::*} by "."

Spoiler: Usage

Code (Skript):

1. broadcast formatNumber(10000000.389)
2. # output: 10,000,000.39
