StringStripWS Complications


Recommended Posts

I've been looking within the help files and ran across StringStripWS ( "string", flag )I've tried StringStripWS(aRecords, 8) and StringStripWS(aRecords[$x], 8) but it wasn't takin the space out.

#include <file.au3>
_CreateTaggedKeywords()

Func _CreateTaggedKeywords()
    Dim $aRecords
    $PthFile = 'D:\Rename.txt' ;Full path and filename to read
    $outputFileName = 'D:\New Text Document (2).txt'

    If Not _FileReadToArray($PthFile,$aRecords) Then
       MsgBox(4096,"Error", " Error reading log to Array     error:" & @error)
       Exit
    EndIf

    $file = FileOpen($outputFileName, 2)
    For $x = 1 to $aRecords[0]
        FileWriteLine($file,'<a href="'&$aRecords[$x]&'.htm">'&$aRecords[$x]&'</a><BR>'&@CRLF)

    Next
    FileClose($file)
EndFunc

styles3000,

Works fine for me: :evil:

$sText = 'D:\New Text Document (2).txt'

ConsoleWrite(StringStripWS($stext, 8) & @CRLF)

Did you use the right flags? ;)

weaponx,

Having done that myself when I first used that type of String* function, I am quite prepared to believe that could be the solution. ;)

The output is looking like this...

<a href="banco patagonia .htm">banco patagonia </a><BR>

<a href="aig stock .htm">aig stock </a><BR>

<a href="optionsxpress .htm">optionsxpress </a><BR>

<a href="colonial bank .htm">colonial bank </a><BR>

<a href="banco estado .htm">banco estado </a><BR>

<a href="aig .htm">aig </a><BR>

Do you see the white space before .htm?

I've tried .....

$PthFile = 'D:\New Text Document (2).txt'

ConsoleWrite(StringStripWS($PthFile, 8) & @CRLF)

I've tried....

$outputFileName = 'D:\New Text Document (2).txt'

ConsoleWrite(StringStripWS($outputFileName, 8) & @CRLF)

I've tried....

$file = 'D:\New Text Document (2).txt'

ConsoleWrite(StringStripWS($file, 8) & @CRLF)

Maybe I'm approaching things the wrong way? Or placing the function in the wrong place.

Func _CreateTaggedKeywords()
    Dim $aRecords
    $PthFile = 'D:\Rename.txt' ;Full path and filename to read
    $outputFileName = 'D:\New Text Document (2).txt'

    If Not _FileReadToArray($PthFile,$aRecords) Then
       MsgBox(4096,"Error", " Error reading log to Array     error:" & @error)
       Exit
    EndIf

    $file = FileOpen($outputFileName, 2)
    For $x = 1 to $aRecords[0]
        FileWriteLine($file,'<a href="'&$aRecords[$x]&'.htm">'&$aRecords[$x]&'</a><BR>'&@CRLF)
    Next
$PthFile = 'D:\New Text Document (2).txt'

ConsoleWrite(StringStripWS($PthFile, 4) & @CRLF)

    FileClose($file)
EndFunc

styles3000,

The ConsoleWrite was just to show you that it worked! Not a suggestion for your code!

You need to go to wherever you get your 'D:\New Text Document (2).txt' from and use the StringStripWS before you get to your function:

$outputFileName = 'D:\New Text Document (2).txt'
$outputFileName = StringStripWS(outputFileName , 8)

Hi,

What others are trying to tell you is that you need to _assign_ the result of StringStripWS($PthFile, 8) to some variable.

But wait a minute: aren't you trying to apply the function to the filename that contains the records you want to process?

StringStripWS($PthFile, 8) will simply return the contents of variable $PthFile with whitespaces removed. It won't open the file and butcherize the strings inside it!

Try this:

Func _CreateTaggedKeywords()
 Dim $aRecords
 $PthFile = 'D:\Rename.txt' ;Full path and filename to read
 $outputFileName = 'D:\New Text Document (2).txt'

 If Not _FileReadToArray($PthFile,$aRecords) Then
 MsgBox(4096,"Error", " Error reading log to Array error:" & @error)
 Exit
 EndIf

 $file = FileOpen($outputFileName, 2)
 For $x = 1 to $aRecords[0]
 FileWriteLine($file,'<a href="'&StringStripWS($aRecords[$x], 4)&'.htm">'&$aRecords[$x]&'</a><BR>'&@CRLF)
 Next

 FileClose($file)
EndFunc

But even then, notice that 'banco patagonia ' won't change to 'banco-patagonia'. You need to use something like StringReplace in addition to the WS strip to convert middle space to hyphen. That or use one call to StringRegexpReplace to do it all in one shot.
