Template Help in S&R

[Tanjamuse]

Hello.

Chaley kindly helped me with the following template for S&R and I fiddled a bit with it, because I needed both http and https.

When I tried with the following I got an invalid group reference.

Template: {#story_url:'re($, '(http(s?)://www.fanfiction.net/s/[0-9]*?/)', strcat('<p class="description"><a href="\1>',  field('title'), '</a></p>'))'}

Search for: .*

Replace with: \1

Destination Field: #story_url

The original story link could be either:

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/7950093/1/

or

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1962402/1/

It varies if there's is s in the address but always the same with id-number and then the /1/ in the end.

I hope someone can help me.

Thanks in advance.

Try

{comment:'re($, '(https?://www.fanfiction.net/s/[^/]*/1/)', strcat('<p class="description"><a href="\1">',  field('title'), '</a></p>'))'}

as the template.

The four changes:

• I moved the test for the 's' in https to where it belongs.
• The original example you gave me had a /u/ in it. Now it has a /s/ in it. The pattern was changed to account for that.
• Now that there is always a /1/ at the end of the URL, the capture for the id number can be simplified.
• Add a missing " at the end of the URL

For those who come along later to offer improvements (I am sure there are many), she wants to convert a URL of the form

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1962402/1/

to the form

<p class="description"><a href="http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1962402/1/">{title of book}</a></p>

Thanks Chaley.

It seems to work like a charm.
