StringSplit Confusion

[computergroove]

I have a txt file that has info like the following:

Tony;Yang;123@yahoo.com;password1;192.168.1.1;3564

The above is one of several lines in the txt file. I want to read one line at a time and assign the data to variables to call later in the program. I hae setup the following:

expandcollapse popup

#Region ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****
#AutoIt3Wrapper_outfile=junk auto clicker qb.exe
#EndRegion ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****
Global $Paused
HotKeySet("{PAUSE}", "TogglePause")
HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Terminate")
$Paused = $Paused
Global $f_in = @ScriptDir & "\FakeNames.txt"
Global $regNum
$regNum = 1

Func Start_Script()
Local $f_in = @ScriptDir & "\FakeNames.txt"; search for and scan database.txt for validity
        $fh_in = FileOpen($f_in, 0)
        If $fh_in = -1 Then ; Check if file opened for reading OK
            MsgBox(0, "Error 1", "Can't find FakeNames.txt.")
            Sleep(5000)
            exit
        EndIf
    EndFunc


While 1
    local $array[1]
$File = FileReadLine($f_in,0)     <-------Problem area
StringSplit ( "$File", ";", 0)
MsgBox(4096, "Error 2", $array[1])   <--------End problem area

WEnd

Func TogglePause()
    $Paused = NOT $Paused
    While $Paused
        sleep(100)
        ToolTip('Script is "Paused"',0,0)
    WEnd
    ToolTip("")
EndFunc

Func Terminate()
    Exit 0
EndFunc

I have looked at the documentation online with no luck. What I want to do is:

1 read the nest line in the txt file and assign the first snippet of data to a variable. So something like:

$array[1]=$firstName

$array[2]=$lastName

$array[3]=$emailAddress

etc

How should I declare the variables and what is the correct syntax to store the data?

[memoryoverflow]

$File = FileReadLine($f_in,0) <-------Problem area

StringSplit ( "$File", ";", 0)

MsgBox(4096, "Error 2", $array[1]) <--------End problem area

Leave the doublequotes out: $File should be a string variable not a string literal.

OK I am not getting an error message when I run the script however I am getting a looping blank message window and I still dont know the correct syntax to use to identify the information in the array so I can pull out array item 4 for example. The number of variables in the array will be constant. Do I need to declare all the variables that I will be using in the function? Also what do I need to do to output the first part of the array to the message window?

Hard to guess the content of $File, if you don't tell. Your question was re StringSplit and it could be answered, if the string to be split was known.

The contents of FakeNames.txt is:

tony;yang;projectorbvalor@yahoo.com;vionx;vionx

tnoy;yang;tnoyyang@ymail.com;duce2;duce2

Anthony;Yang;Yanga51@yahoo.com;folls6;folls6

Tony;Yaj;yajtony@yahoo.com;banoku;banoku

Toni;Yaj;toniyaj@rocketmail.com;solpil;solpil

Anthony;Yaj;Anthonyyaj@yahoo.com;kalas;kalas

Tony;Yan;yantony@rocketmail.com;slaad2;slaad2

Anthony;Yan;yananthony@ymail.com;abc12;abc12

We are going to add more to it though. Does this help? I want to test the script to get a message window saying "tony" and then make a modification and get it to say "vionx". Ill have enough information at that point to move forward.

o dear, how simple - StringSplit's result hadn't been assinged:

$array = StringSplit( $File, ";" )
