_IsValidFileType()

Recommended Posts

I took the idea from the function>_RFLTA_ListToMask() by Melba23 and modified it a little. So all the credit should be focused towards those mentioned in the function header.

Any suggestions or problems post below.

Function:

#include <StringConstants.au3>

; #FUNCTION# ====================================================================================================================
; Name ..........: _IsValidFileType
; Description ...: Checks if a filepath contains an approved filetype extension.
; Syntax ........: _IsValidFileType($sFilePath[, $sList = 'bat;cmd;exe'[, $bOpFast = True]])
; Parameters ....: $sFilePath           - A filepath.
;                  $sList               - [optional] A list of filetype extensions separated with ';' e.g. 'zip;rar;7zip;gzip'. Default is 'bat;cmd;exe'.
;                  $bOpFast             - [optional] True, use faster comparison; otherwise false, use standard comparison. Default is True.
; Return values .: Success - True
;                  Failure - False
; Author ........: guinness
; Modified ......:
; Remarks........; The code was initially based on the original function of _RFLTA_ListToMask() by Melba23, but overtime with input from
;                  AZJIO, Beege and Shaggi, I opted on using Robjong's suggestion [http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/123674-isvalidtype/page__view__findpost__p__959470.]
; Related .......: _WinAPI_PathMatchSpec() in WinAPIEx.au3 by Yashied.
; Link ..........:
; Example .......: Yes
; ===============================================================================================================================
Func _IsValidFileType($sFilePath, $sList = 'bat;cmd;exe', $bOpFast = True)
    Return StringRegExp($sFilePath, '\.(?i:\Q' & StringReplace($sList, ';', '\E|\Q', 0, (($bOpFast Or $bOpFast = Default) ? $STR_NOCASESENSEBASIC : $STR_NOCASESENSE)) & '\E)\z') > 0
EndFunc   ;==>_IsValidFileType
Example 1:

ConsoleWrite(_IsValidFileType('AutoIt3.cmd') & @CRLF) ; Returns True as .cmd has been approved as a valid filetype.
ConsoleWrite(_IsValidFileType('C:\AutoIt3.exe') & @CRLF) ; Returns True as .exe has been approved as a valid filetype.
ConsoleWrite(_IsValidFileType('C:\AutoIt3.zip') & @CRLF) ; Returns False as .zip hasn't been approved as a valid filetype.
ConsoleWrite(_IsValidFileType('C:\AutoIt3.zip', 'zip;rar;7zip;gzip') & @CRLF) ; Returns True as .zip has been approved as a valid filetype.
Example 2:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>
#include <StringConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

Example()

Func Example()
    Local $hGUI = GUICreate('_IsValidFileType Simple Drop', 255, 155, Default, Default, BitXOR($GUI_SS_DEFAULT_GUI, $WS_MINIMIZEBOX), $WS_EX_ACCEPTFILES)
    Local $iLabel = GUICtrlCreateLabel('Drop Supported FileType (au3/exe/txt)', 2, 2, 250, 150, $SS_CENTER)
    GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DROPACCEPTED)
    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $hGUI)

    While 1
        Switch GUIGetMsg()
            Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                ExitLoop

            Case $GUI_EVENT_DROPPED
                If _IsValidFileType(@GUI_DragFile, 'au3;exe;txt') Then
                    GUICtrlSetData($iLabel, 'Dropped - ' & @GUI_DragFile)
                Else
                    GUICtrlSetData($iLabel, 'I said ''Supported FileType!''')
                EndIf

        EndSwitch
    WEnd
    GUIDelete($hGUI)
EndFunc   ;==>Example
For a more complex approach with an improvement in speed then have a look at Robjong's example in >post #54. It should be noted that the speed difference isn't in seconds but milli/nanoseconds. Edited by guinness

why all the regexp?

func isvalidtype($path, $aftypes = 0)
    if not $aftypes or not isarray($aftypes) then
        local $types[4] = ["pif","bat","exe","cmd"]
    else
        local $types = $aftypes
    endif
    local $ipos = stringinstr($path,".",default,-1), $stype
    if not $ipos then return false
    $stype = stringmid($path,$ipos+1)
    for $ext in $types
        if $stype = $ext then return true
    next
    return false
endfunc

Sorry? What's the problem with using SRE?

Edit: Also your function is badly formatted and will not pass Au3Check.

besides being a lot slower, i think its overly complicated for such a small task. but most importantly, it embeds another language which most of autoit users dont understand and thus obfuscates the code. (kiss)

Edit: Also your function is badly formatted and will not pass Au3Check.

? it does. i dont see anything unusual besides lower case

Run Au3Check and you'll see why. Hint: Declaring a variable twice.

you might have another version? but no variable is declared twice.

if not $aftypes or not isarray($aftypes) then

local $types[4] = ["pif","bat","exe","cmd"]

else

local $types = $aftypes

Apologies Au3Check didn't show an error.

Shaggi,

Maybe I'm wrong but _IsValidType seems a little quicker now.

    _IsValidType(@ScriptFullPath)
Next

    If Not $aftypes Or Not IsArray($aftypes) Then
        Local $types[3] = ["bat", "exe", "cmd"]
    Else
        Local $types = $aftypes
    EndIf
    Local $ipos = StringInStr($path, ".", Default, -1), $stype
    If Not $ipos Then Return False
    $stype = StringMid($path, $ipos + 1)
    For $ext In $types
        If $stype = $ext Then Return True
    Next
    Return False
EndFunc   ;==>isvalidtype

perhaps, i dont have the old function anymore? anyway, to test the two, here's a little script that show the difference:

SmallTest()
ScaledTest()

Func SmallTest()
    $types = "cmd;"
    $etypes = stringsplit($types,";",2)
    $path = "C:\"
    $ext = "wanted_file.err" ;extension is not in the list, so both algorithms have to search everything through
    $path &= $ext

    ;Calculate the overhead for the loop and a lot of func calls
    $testtime = timerinit()
    for $i = 0 to 0xFFFF
        testfunc($path,$types)
    Next
    $overhead = timerdiff($testtime)
    ConsoleWrite("Assumed overhead: "& $overhead & @lf)

    ;test of new _isvalidtype
    $starttime = timerinit()
    for $i = 0 to 0xFFFF
        _IsValidType($path,$etypes)
    next
    $test1 = timerdiff($starttime)

    ;test of isvalidtype
    $starttime = timerinit()
    for $i = 0 to 0xFFFF
        isvalidtype($path,$types)
    next
    $test2 = timerdiff($starttime)

    ConsoleWrite("(small) Test data: " & @lf & "_isvalidtype: " & $test1 - $overhead & @lf & "isvalidtype: " & $test2 - $overhead & @lf)
endfunc

Func ScaledTest()
    $types = "cmd;bat;tiff;jpg;con;dll;exe;bat;pif;txt;xml;doc;bmp;mp3;mov;png;flp;cmd;bat;tiff;jpg;con;dll;exe;bat;pif;txt;xml;doc;bmp;mp3;mov;png;flp;"
    $etypes = stringsplit($types,";",2)
    $path = "C:\random1\random2\random3\random4\random5\random6\random7\random8\random9\random10\random11\random12\random13\random14\random15\random16\random17\random18\random19\random20\random21\random22\random23\random24\random25\random26\random27\random28\random29\random30\"
    $ext = "wanted_file.err" ;extension is not in the list, so both algorithms have to search everything through
    $path &= $ext

    ;Calculate the overhead for the loop and a lot of func calls
    $testtime = timerinit()
    for $i = 0 to 0xFFFF
        testfunc($path,$etypes)
    Next
    $overhead = timerdiff($testtime)
    ConsoleWrite("Assumed overhead: "& $overhead & @lf)

    ;test of new _isvalidtype
    $starttime = timerinit()
    for $i = 0 to 0xFFFF
        _IsValidType($path,$types)
    next
    $test1 = timerdiff($starttime)

    ;test of isvalidtype
    $starttime = timerinit()
    for $i = 0 to 0xFFFF
        isvalidtype($path,$etypes)
    next
    $test2 = timerdiff($starttime)

    ConsoleWrite("(scaled) Test data: " & @lf & "_isvalidtype: " & $test1 - $overhead & @lf & "isvalidtype: " & $test2 - $overhead & @lf)
EndFunc




func isvalidtype(byref $path, $aftypes = 0)
    if not $aftypes or not isarray($aftypes) then
        local $types[3] = ["cmd","bat","exe"]
    else
        local $types = $aftypes
    endif
    local $ipos = stringinstr($path,".",0,-1), $stype
    if not $ipos then return false
    $stype = stringmid($path,$ipos+1)
    for $ext in $types
        if $ext = $stype then
            return true
        endif
    next
    return false
endfunc

Func _IsValidType($sFilePath, $sList = "bat;cmd;exe")
    If StringRegExp($sList, "[\\/:<>|]") Then
        Return SetError(1, 0, -1)
    EndIf
    Return StringRegExp($sFilePath, "(?i)^(" & ".*?\." & StringReplace($sList, ";", "|.*?\.") & ")\z")
EndFunc   ;==>_IsValidType

Func testfunc($a,$b)
EndFunc

results here:

Assumed overhead: 212.181195527824

(small) Test data:

_isvalidtype: 1261.08944816422

isvalidtype: 2009.5421428352

Assumed overhead: 219.468354359682

(scaled) Test data:

_isvalidtype: 25379.333455585

isvalidtype: 1597.608925734

What the test shows, is that yours excels in very small tests, however as the test size grows to medium-long filenames and types, it becomes 16x times slower.

this is because my function is designed to take near constant (actually less in test - but dont count on that) time O(1) for any request , because it searches backwards in the input string, and the only real overhead is the iteration and comparison of the array.

Yours however, seems to be more like linear time O(n), which is not bad, but if this algorithm is used in a recursively folder search with file extension masking, you will note the difference.

Ever wanted to call functions in another process? ProcessCall UDFConsole stuff: Console UDFC Preprocessor for AutoIt OMG

besides being a lot slower

What? Calling SRE a lot slower is fucking crazy. Theres a good reason pcre is included in a ton of languages out there. Its powerful and fast.

but most importantly, it embeds another language which most of autoit users dont understand and thus obfuscates the code.

Don't use the tools built into autoit because some people might not understand how they work? Thats weak. Especially coming from someone whos using hex values in there For loops.

I also want to point out in that perfomance test, the main slowdown is coming from StringReplace(). Not SRE. If you change the code to

Func _IsValidType(ByRef $sFilePath, $sList = "bat;cmd;exe")
    If StringRegExp($sList, "[\\/:<>|]") Then Return SetError(1, 0, -1)
    Return StringRegExp($sFilePath, "(?i)^(" & ".*?\." & StringReplace($sList, ";", "|.*?\.", 2) & ")\z")
EndFunc   ;==>_IsValidType

my results then become:

(scaled) Test data:
_isvalidtype: 3263.63947284885
isvalidtype: 1521.45284004219

Which is only 2x slower. And more so, in reality your function only gains micro seconds. In my opinion its not worth turning a 2 line function into 10 lines just to gain microseconds.

@@ Debug(70) : $test2 = 0.0692218683760509
