Simulator regular expressions – script MetaTrader 5

The script allows you to try regular expressions.

Materials on regular expressions:

  • The article “Regular expressions for traders”
  • The library RegularExpressions in MQL5 for working with regular expressions

Before starting the work, please copy the all_functions.mq5 text file to the “sandbox”: <data folder>\MQL5\Files\. The all_functions.mq5 text file contains all functions for processing events.

The input parameters contain the (int)(.*?)(\(\)) regular expression

(int) — search for the “int” word occurrence

(.*?) — any symbol except for a newline character or another separator of a Unicode string, found zero or more times, not greedy

(\(\)) — search for the “()” word occurrence

In other words, we should find the following string:
int OnInit()
