[SOLVED] How do I simplify return value using Regex?

Hello, I've used Imgur API and it worked, the problem is it returns data with all parameters, it looks like:

{"data":{"id":"TjJuJ29","title":null,"description":null,"datetime":1403695169,"type":"image\/png","animated":false,"width":1538,"height":839,"size":733684,"views":0,"bandwidth":0,"favorite":false,"nsfw":null,"section":null,"deletehash":"lCqsN0tKqWyJFET","link":"http:\/\/i.imgur.com\/TjJuJ29.jpg"},"success":true,"status":200}[/code:355a9t6s]

I need to know how to use Regex to convert it into simple Link URL and forget every parameters.

Parameter of URL is "link":"http:\/\/i.imgur.com\/TjJuJ29.jpg"

Thanks!

I noticed it's JSON, it's not possible with Regex.

Isn't there a way to use parse to get a link?

you could load that json string into an array and just call the value of the url.

The data is what matters, you could try to isolate it, then get rid of the { }, then a good use a loops and tokens could make it so you put each data as key and values of dictionnary, then you could just retrieve the value you want

It's irrelevant that it's JSON. RegEx parses text. You have text.

Ubivis , Aphrodite I'm sorry, I'm not expert about backend, I had no clue how to get each JSON property in array or dicctionary, would you explain me how to do it?

blackhornet Can you help me?

You'll need some error code, but this works:

JSON={"data":{"id":"TjJuJ29","title":null,"description":null,"datetime":1403695169,"type":"image\/png","animated":false,"width":1538,"height":839,"size":733684,"views":0,"bandwidth":0,"favorite":false,"nsfw":null,"section":null,"deletehash":"lCqsN0tKqWyJFET","link":"http:\/\/i.imgur.com\/TjJuJ29.jpg"},"success":true,"status":200}

Key = "link":"(http:.*)"}

RegexMathAt(JSON, Key, 1)

blackhornet I got another workaround, I used this plugin to inspect this JSON and I made ugly hack to get rid of other parameters and got proper return as URL.

Your snippet is saved on my disk for future reference, thank you!

You could try parsing the json with the browser object. For example,

System set some_variable to

Browser.ExecJS("(function(){var obj = {""url"":""some_link"", ""other"":""something_else""} return obj.url})();")
