I have this above file and this code to grab from it

$file = FileOpen("tester.xml", 0)

$gui = FileRead($file)

$entry = _StringBetween($gui,'<Entry1> ','</Entry1>')

The problem is, $entry is ALWAYS equal to zero no matter what I tweak - It's pretty late but I have no idea why this is the case

Here it is:

$entry = _StringBetween($gui,'<Entry1> ','</Entry1>')
; Right about . . . . . . . . . . . . ^ there

[floodge]

Here it is:

$entry = _StringBetween($gui,'<Entry1> ','</Entry1>')
; Right about . . . . . . . . . . . . ^ there

Nope, still fails just the same without that - in fact i added it to try and trick it into working

Hi,

i'm having the same problem and didn't find a solution with _StringBetween.

If your xml file always look like above, i would do it like this:

$file = FileOpen("c:\temp\test.xml", 0)
$text = FileRead($file)
FileClose ($file)
$entry = StringTrimRight (StringTrimLeft ($text,9), 11)
MsgBox (0,"",$entry)

I knew it wasn't just me!

I'll try and substitute your alternate way

Here are a couple of ways.

;
;==== This way ========================================================
#include <string.au3>

$file = "test.xml"
$text = FileRead($file)
ConsoleWrite($text & @CRLF)
$entry = _StringBetween($text, "<Entry1>" & @CRLF, @CRLF & "</Entry1>")
MsgBox(0, "_StringBetween Result", $entry[0])
;=======================================================================

; Or this way
;=======================================================================
$text = FileRead("test.xml")
$entry = StringRegExpReplace($text, "(?:<Entry1>\v+)(?s)(.*?)(\v+</Entry1>)", "\1")
MsgBox(0, "StringRegExpReplace Result", $entry)
;=======================================================================
;

Hi,

thanks for opening eyes. I should have read helpfile better. Such a shame

Success: A 0 based $array[0] contains the first found string.

Please try the files I have attached. You'll find that the space was the error.

Hi,

i think he did the same mistake as me:

Msgbox (0,"",$entry) instead of

Msgbox (0,"",$entry [0])

No, displaying an array as string always returns "". He says $entry is equal to 0, which is not "", but instead is the error value as returned by _StringBetween. That's not his mistake.

@Manadar

Look at this answer from him, just after your tip with the blank.

So i think, he means "" and not 0.

But in fact, your right if $entry would be really zero, _StringBetween failed.

There's really no point in arguing over what we interpreted what he said. He said the result was zero, he never said otherwise.
