Robotframework - regex working in python not matching-CodePudding

Hello I have following string:

https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=123345&id=12334&__xts__[0]=12.AboYsxZUMIF4f8fZJLZ0LVrJZJ1jxGxzsmM2lJZJ8JoGFxO1UgViHWKvUSGwxVjkzwOjfCxL-FxJY9pfgvYP6L8Kwdd4tHZl-V1OaVvl40agK3dimgois_14R0sr9rSelJ5rt0WTU5fRoHNeGv2TR3sxrewYBf2wzfMQwDKV4pV4WbLkbqFd0f1mbcpx7VjMduLhbj2MXRHO_ERg1ssEesWbCHAzvZNSmXP6LycMlYHhbaoi6m7gTpBswQR-VBkdfjk3289dfsfsdfoIgfSxaxr9oa6FATiaF2V54-QWQOKgYtuO87YzKFnNh-m_mGgVkCYIA7-YwEK10zZCmSxEtSrmWSl5ZzSXNRpMg&__tn__=%2As*s

I need to extract with a regex this part:

https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=123345&id=12334

So I created this Regex (works perfectly in Pthon)

https?://(www\.|m\.)(facebook\.com)\/story\.php\?story_fbid=[0-9] &id=[0-9]

I've tryed to include in a robotfrawework script:

*** Settings ***
Library           String

*** Variables ***
${pattern}  SEPARATOR=
...  https?                          
...  ://                            
...  (www\\.|m\\.)                   
...  (facebook\\.com)                
...  /story\\.php\\?story_fbid=                         
...  [0-9]                      
...  &id=
...  [0-9] 


*** Test Cases ***
String should match pattern
    ${url}=     Set Variable    https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=123345&id=12334&__xts__[0]=12.AboYsxZUMIF4f8fZJLZ0LVrJZJ1jxGxzsmM2lJZJ8JoGFxO1UgViHWKvUSGwxVjkzwOjfCxL-FxJY9pfgvYP6L8Kwdd4tHZl-V1OaVvl40agK3dimgois_14R0sr9rSelJ5rt0WTU5fRoHNeGv2TR3sxrewYBf2wzfMQwDKV4pV4WbLkbqFd0f1mbcpx7VjMduLhbj2MXRHO_ERg1ssEesWbCHAzvZNSmXP6LycMlYHhbaoi6m7gTpBswQR-VBkdfjk3289dfsfsdfoIgfSxaxr9oa6FATiaF2V54-QWQOKgYtuO87YzKFnNh-m_mGgVkCYIA7-YwEK10zZCmSxEtSrmWSl5ZzSXNRpMg&__tn__=%2As*s
    ${matchesp}=  Get lines matching regexp  ${url}  ${pattern} 
    run keyword if  $matchesp   Log To Console  OK MATCHED!

But it simply don't work at all (not giving any match). I unable to understand what I'm doing wrong. Thx

CodePudding user response：

Use Get Regexp Matches keyword instead of Get Lines Matching Regexp.

Get Lines Matching Regexp is used to find the specific line in a multiline string.

Code:

*** Settings ***
Library           String

*** Variables ***
${pattern}        SEPARATOR=
...               https?
...               ://
...               (www\\.|m\\.)
...               (facebook\\.com)
...               /story\\.php\\?story_fbid=
...               [0-9] 
...               &id=
...               [0-9]

    Log To Console    \n${matchesp}
