Looking for help with advanced MyCode replacement

[Monaco]

Hello,
As the AutoMedia plugin stopped embedding Vimeo for some reason, I am trying to create a MyCode that does the job. I would like to do it the best way: taking a simple URL and converting it into an embedded video with no [] [/] tags at all. I am trying NOT to use the standard [MyCode] tags.

I cannot get the replacement to work, and have not been able to find a good example or tutorial to help.

Here's what I have:

Regular Expression:

http://vimeo.com/(.*?)

Replacement:

<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/$1?title=0&amp;byline=0&amp;portrait=0&amp;color=ae4815" width="480" height="270" frameborder="0"></iframe>

Test Input:

http://vimeo.com/24410924

Test Result:

<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/?title=0&amp;byline=0&amp;portrait=0&amp;color=ae4815" width="480" height="270" frameborder="0"></iframe>24410924

The problem is that it's not doing the replacement; it's not putting the video id number at the $1, and leaves the video id number at the end of the output.

Experimenting, I found that this kind of replacement DOES WORK when I put a single space after the Regular Expression AND after the Test Input. What does this tell me? I'm not exactly sure, but I think it needs a known character for closure. I would like to avoid that however... perhaps I could tell it to replace only a string of numbers and end input if anything else is encountered?

This seems to be an advanced problem and I would appreciate any help or guidance.

Thanks

Regular expression should be like this;

\[vimeo\](.*?)\[/vimeo\]

Is it always a number? Then you can do this:

\[vimeo\]([0-9+?)\[/vimeo\]

And paste the id between the mycode.

Did anyone read the part where I didn't want the standard closing and ending myCode tags?

Try this then:

\<a\ href=\"http\://(?:www\.)?vimeo\.com\/([0-9]+?)[\"\/].*?\>.*?\</a\>

By the time that MyBB will be applying the custom mycode, it already turned all url into links.

Thanks- it was my understanding that we didn't need "\" before every forward slash "/"

You don't need it but it works either way. But it's not necessary indeed. Also take not that I forgot something in my previous post. I added it just now.

Thank you. Thank you! You solved it perfectly. I would have not thought of myBB rendering the link first!

MyCode can be so powerful and make things like video embedding so easy!
