How to parse multiples lines from StringList

Time:04-05

I want to copy specific lines from a StringList, I want to copy all lines that have 'Domain Status:' into memo.lines.text I used the code below, but the problem is it copies only the first line, I want to copy all lines that have 'Domain Status:':

 const
 FieldNames: array[0..2] of string = ('Domain Status', 'domain status', 'Domain status');
 begin
  sl := TStringList.Create;
  try
    sl.Assign(Memo.Lines);
    for I := 0 to sl.Count-1 do begin
      sl[I] := TrimLeft(sl[I]);
    end;
    sl.NameValueSeparator := ':';
    for I := Low(FieldNames) to High(FieldNames) do begin
      status := Trim(sl.Values[FieldNames[I]]);
      if status <> '' then Break;
    end;
  finally
    sl.Free;
  end;
  memo1.lines.text:=status;

Example of text in the StringList :

You need to loop through the individual strings of the TStringList, the TStringList.Values[] property will not help you with this task, as it will only search for the 1st string with a matching name. You can, however, use the TStringList.Names[] and TStringList.ValueFromIndex[] properties to help you.

Also, you don't need the FieldNames[] array at all. Use a case-insensitive comparison, like SysUtils.SameText() instead.

Try something more like this:

sl := TStringList.Create;
try
  sl.Assign(Memo.Lines);
  sl.NameValueSeparator := ':';
  for I := 0 to sl.Count-1 do begin
    sl[I] := TrimLeft(sl[I]);
    if SameText(sl.Names[I], 'Domain Status') then begin
      status := Trim(sl.ValueFromIndex[I]);
      status := Copy(status, 1, Pos(' ', status)-1);
      Memo1.Lines.Add(status);
    end;
  end;
finally
  sl.Free;
end;

Another approach is to use regular expressions. A bit overkill but if you can keep the regular expression around instead of recreating it with each use performance can be comparable.

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
Var
    RegExDomainStatus : TRegEx;
    Match : TMatch;
    Alltext : string;
begin
  RegExDomainStatus.Create('(?<=^domain status: )[A-z] ',[roIgnoreCase,roMultiline]);
  Alltext := Memo1.Lines.Text;
  Memo1.Lines.Clear;
  match :=  RegExDomainStatus.Match(AllText);
  while match.Success do
  begin
     memo1.Lines.add(match.Value);
     match := match.NextMatch;
  end;
end;
