Getting Variables from Single line in file

[jbalter]

I created hotmail accounts in a text file like this:
email: password

Then, I would like to use it to sign up for other accounts directly. Hence, I used list processing and a list.
My question though, is:

How can I get {-Variable.Email-} and {-Variable.Password-} when they are both on the same line? Please advise..

I guess it was discussed many times already on the forum
1. Get a list line
2. With word processing and regexp option find the first part .*(?=
3. With word processing and regexp option find the second part (?<=.*

I dont know why should you even think about using list processing or regex like HB suggested... most basic solution is to use table processing and get those variables straight away from it...

A lot of times I find myself using list instead of table because in table you cannot simply write data to last line.

 

[drvosjeca]

hahahaaaa... did you ever test table processing at all???
It is always writing data to last line if you didnt notice!

Beside, who cares even if that wasnt a case, he asked about pulling data in, not writing, and if you like list processing so much, you can still ad it at the end when you need to write data

lol... my bad, i meant to say write to 1st line. :p
Like if I want to have a bad end action to write data back to first line so that the next thread can reuse the same data.
Of course, like you said, this is beyond the point of the original question.

in my case I almoast never care to which line is data written... I pull data on random to leave less footprint, and if im after something explicit, than I just put macros with regex to use...so it really doesnt matter in which line data is located...and that is only thing that you can say is reliable if you run multithreading ...so again FIRST LINE/LAST LINE... who cares

Thank you @HB. That was very helpful.
I tried searching on the forum for solutions but for some reason, cannot seem to find it. Probably because I did not search for the correct keyterm. I really appreciate you explaning it to me again.

@drvosjeca, thank you for the tip and link! I will try table processing next
