random with unique result

[lordpier]

Hello,

I know the subject has already been treated in the forum but my request is a bit different.

I use a function to determine a random number between 1 and 500. Every time I run the macro, I want a random number that have never been taken before (unless you reset it of course). A kind of lotto.

Here is a code i started. The GUI displays the number and saves it to a text file. And here I am seeking for your help : What I do not know is how to have a function that gives a random number that is not in the text file (or it can be an .ini file I guess)

Thank you for your help

expandcollapse popup

$results1 = Random(1, 500, 1)

$file = "number.txt"

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

Opt('MustDeclareVars', 1)
Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)

Global $ExitID

_Main()

Func _Main()
   
       
    GUICreate("random", 600, 160)

    GUICtrlCreateLabel("randomizator :", 10, 10)
    GUICtrlCreateLabel($results1, 120, 10)
   
    GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "OnExit")

FileWrite("number.txt", $results1 & @CRLF)


    GUISetState()

    While 1
        Sleep(1000)
    WEnd
EndFunc

Func OnExit()
    If @GUI_CtrlId = $ExitID Then
        Exit
    Else
        Exit
    EndIf

    Exit
EndFunc

FileReadLine would read the line from a file (do this for every line in a loop, look at the given example), and then you just compare it to $results1 for each line, if it is the same, don't write.

If $results1 = $LineFromFile Then

;Nothing

Else

;Stuff to do with the new number.

Endif

[bogQ]

you can try it like this, its fast enough

$numbers = 500
Global $r,$str
While 1
    $r = String(";"&Random(1,$numbers,1)&";")
    If Not StringInStr($str,$r,1) Then
        $str = $str&$r
        $bla = StringSplit($str,";;",1)
        MsgBox(0,$bla[0]&"   "&$str,$r)
    EndIf
    If $bla[0] = $numbers Then
        MsgBox(0,"THE","END")
        Exit
    EndIf
WEnd

edited: added exit when end is reached

thanks for fast answers !

I didn't succeed to add your codes to mine. I re-specify my request :

- The random number I get shoud never appear again, even if I close the gui & re-open after, that's why it should be record in a text file.

- If the random number is already in the text file, it should give another one (loop until find a number never appeared) & record it in the text file (if never appeared).

I hope it is understandable...

thanx for help

[bogQ]

noone is gona write it completely for you, you gota put some effort in it, you have all you need, only thing you need is to write it on one place and to load it to $str on start of the code

Hi,

thanx so much,

I wouldn't succeed it by myself... But it works perfectly !

I will try to put an error message when all numbers has been edited, and a reset option. Hope I will succeed without asking you again...

Thanx to all

Hi,

no problem. Just keep in mind, that program execution will get very slow, if your 'number pool runs empty'. At least it could take 'hours' for generating a number, which isn't in the number.txt.

I would generate numbers from 1000 - 59999. Then divide them with 1000 and do a Round and then compare with the Array.

$results1 = Round (Random(1000, 59999, 1)/1000, -1)

thanx for advice, I will check it.

oh ok, now I understand what you meant with your code in your first post...

Thanx for challenging with Stephan ! It made my problem solved ! (But i realize i have alot to learn !)

thanx again men !

hello,

I have in reality 5 folders, but i make a try just with the first. It's working fine to open the folder but the loop to reach the file is not working. This part exatly :

While 1
                if $i= $r then Exitloop
                Send("{down}")
                $i=$i+1
                Wend
                Send("{ENTER}")
                Sleep(8000)

Where I make a mistake ? And where to put the function to choose between my 5 folders ($results = Random(1, 5, 1)) ?

thanks

[bogQ]

so only thing you need is to randomm open one of rar files?

r all rar files named class1 class2 class3 class4 class5 class6 class7 .....?

Im little lost here with your current problem, i don't understand it ^^. Can you try to one more time explaine what whas your next step with the script that your haveing problems with?

oh ok ! I try to explain it again a bit more clearly :

My first code to open randomly a file is working, I just want to add your code (myfile.ini) to avoid somebody get the same file

I have 5 rar files named respectively class1 class2 class3 class4 class5.

When I click on generate, I wish the program open randomly one of the .rar (5 posbility so) & open randomly one file from this rar (400 possibility).

But a file mustn't appear twice, that's the reason of the myfile.ini.

mmmmmm, i hope it's understandable....

thanx bogQ,

but it's not working properly :

- the exit button not working anymore

- the 5 rar folders don't have same number of files inside

- the .ini file is not carrying from which folder come from the opened file.

I will try to find out some solution...

- exit button?

- you newer toled that script need to remamber what rar what file is opened

- you can add more keyes to ini key1...key5 every key to remamber for what rar file is opened and to load that key

$k = string(Random(1, 5, 1))

$str = IniRead("myfile.ini", "section2", "key"&$k, "default" )

and after that

IniWrite("myfile.ini", "section2", "key"&$k, $str)

to remamber it
