Teldin Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 (edited) I can't figure out how to trim elements of an array at different places. _ArrayTrim obvoiusly can't help. I've tried using strings but my text needs to stay on seperate lines.(?) I'm reading text files which look like: command-description command2-destription2 command3-description3 etc I'm trying to seperate the commands/descriptions for placement into a listview ctrl. Haven't been coding for a while, so I'm a bit rusty... Func Go() $test = "" $test2 = "" $devname = "" GUICtrlDelete($makelist) _GUICtrlListView_DeleteAllItems ($test) $devresult = "" Dim $devresult Dim $file $devname = GUICtrlRead($data) & '.txt' ;get the file name from drop down box and add the file extension _FileReadToArray('Devices\' & $devname,$file) ;create an array with the file contents _ArrayDelete($file, 0) For $i = 0 To UBound($file) - 1 $dash = StringInStr($file[$i],"-") ;find out where the dash is in the text $devresult2 = _ArrayTrim($file,$dash,0) ;get the second part of the text $devresult = _ArrayTrim($file,StringLen($file[$i])-$dash+1) ;get the first part of the text Next $makelist = GUICtrlCreateListView("Command ", 10, 120, 400, 100) _GUICtrlListView_InsertColumn($makelist, 1, "Description", 250) ; Loop through each element of the array for list placement For $i = 0 To UBound($devresult) - 1 $test = GUICtrlCreateListViewItem($devresult[$i], $makelist) $test2 = _GUICtrlListView_SetItemText($makelist, $i, $devresult2[$i], 1) Next EndFunc ;==>Go Thanks!

weaponx Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 (edited) Why are you using _ArrayTrim()? Use StringSplit(). $line = "command-description" $temp = $StringSplit($line, "-") ConsoleWrite($temp[1] & @CRLF) ;command ConsoleWrite($temp[2] & @CRLF) ;description EDIT: Mis-typed StringSplit() param Edited March 2, 2008 by weaponx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teldin Posted March 1, 2008 Author Share Posted March 1, 2008 Maybe I' am really really rusty but with your example the array looks like: command descriptioncommand2 description2command3 description3 The best array I could get with stringstrip is: command description command2 description2 command3 description3 From there I gave up trying to pull out the even and odd elements I'm trying to get the array to look like: --------------------- col0 | col1 ---------------------- command | description ---------------------- command2 | description2 ---------------------- etc...

Teldin Posted March 1, 2008 Author Share Posted March 1, 2008 Found it searching through more pages of +array +stringsplit. Smoke's code does exactly what I want:http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=55857 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
