billthecreator Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 I have a search bar that doesn't proceed unless it has text. If $SearchRead<> "" Or StringRegExp($SearchRead, '[:blank:]') = 0 Then I've tried StringInString, and that doesn't work either. Am I missing something?

Robjong Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 (edited) Hi, although the snippet ripdad posted using StringIsSpace is correct I prefer to use StringStripWS which is a little bit faster, and while we are being overzealous, the snippet can also be used without the "$SearchRead And" part. If StringStripWS($SearchRead, 8) Then ... Edit: fixed AutoIt tags Edited January 14, 2012 by Robjong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripdad Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 (edited) Hi Robjong,Regarding this snippet:If StringStripWS($SearchRead, 8) Then ...What if remaining contents of string ... is the number zero?--I don't know if you'd change anything - but this function is my shot at it:If StringExists('0') Then MsgBox(0, "StringExists('0')", 1) If StringExists(0) Then MsgBox(0, "StringExists(0)", 1) ; Func StringExists($s_String, $iChars = 10);<-- number of characters to grab (including WS) Return StringLen(StringStripWS(StringLeft($s_String, $iChars), 8)) EndFuncbreakdown:StringLeft - grabs a small sample to be tested. No need to test all of it.StringStripWS - (same as intended)StringLen - mainly determines if a zero exist.--thanks and take care!--EDITI gave it some more thought for those that have to KNOW if it's a zero.Somebody let me know if there's anything you'd change or do different or better. Thanks.If StringExists('0') Then MsgBox(0, "StringExists('0')", '@extended=' & @extended & ', Return=1') If StringExists(0) Then MsgBox(0, "StringExists(0)", '@extended=' & @extended & ', Return=1') ; Func StringExists($s_String, $iChars = 10);<-- number of characters to grab (including WS) $s_String = StringStripWS(StringLeft($s_String, $iChars), 8) If StringLen($s_String) Then If $s_String = 0 Then Return SetError(0, 1, 1); string is a 0 - @extended=1, return=1 Else Return SetError(0, 0, 1); is string - @extended=0, return=1 EndIf EndIf Return SetError(0, 0, 0); no string - @extended=0, return=0 EndFunc Edited March 30, 2012 by ripdad "The mediocre teacher tells.
