furrycow Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 (edited) So, i have a string, say, "HELLO", and i want it to be returned in multiple ways.. For instance, as i can see it, on the first loop, it would remove one letter and return the rest of the string, eg. it would return the following strings: ELLO HLLO HELO HELO HELL And i managed to do that fine using: $Word="HELLO" $WordRETURN="" For $x=1 To StringLen($Word) $WordNEW=StringReplace($Word,$x," ",1) $WordNEW=StringStripWS($WordNEW,8) $WordRETURN&=$WordNEW&@CRLF Next MsgBox(0,"",$WordRETURN) However, i want to now do it again, but taking out 2 letters each time, so the results would look something like: LLO ELO ELO ELL LLO HLO HLO HLL ELO HLO HEO HEL ....AND SO ON And then following that, i want to do it again, taking out three letters. I have looked at the concept of making a 5x5 array in the case of "HELLO", so it would look something like this: H H H H H E E E E E L L L L L L L L L L O O O O O And then loop through so you would look at H in the first column then move on to the next column, then once that bit was done, youd return to the first column on E and then move onto the next column...maybe this bit wasnt explained to well, if you dont understand what i am saying here, say so. So is anyone able to shed some light? Thanks!! Edited February 5, 2010 by furrycow Instant Lockerz Invite - www.instantlockerzinvite.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Maybe something like this. $Word = "HELLOGOODBYE" $WordRETURN = "" $Width = 2 For $x = 1 To StringLen($Word) Step $Width $sleft = StringLeft($Word, $x - 1) $sright = StringTrimLeft($Word, $x + $Width - 1) $WordNEW = $sleft & $sright $WordRETURN &= $WordNEW & @CRLF Next MsgBox(0, "", $WordRETURN) Serial port communications UDF Includes functions for binary transmission and reception.printing UDF Useful for graphs, forms, labels, reports etc.Add User Call Tips to SciTE for functions in UDFs not included with AutoIt and for your own scripts.Functions with parameters in OnEvent mode and for Hot Keys One function replaces GuiSetOnEvent, GuiCtrlSetOnEvent and HotKeySet.UDF IsConnected2 for notification of status of connected state of many urls or IPs, without slowing the script.

furrycow Posted February 5, 2010 Author Share Posted February 5, 2010 Thanks, but yours removes letters 1 and 2, and then 3 and 4, and then 4 and 5... I was hoping for a system that... Removes letters 1 and 2, and then 1 and 3, and then 1 and 4, and then 1 and 5, and then 2 and 1, and then 2 and 3, and then 2 and 4, and then 2 and 5... Thanks for your help so far!

czardas Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Still not clear? Removing 1 and 2 would produce the same result as removing 2 and 1. Do you really want to repeat that? And what happens after 5 and 4? Do you then start the process again by removing 1 and 2 and 3 then 1 and 2 and 4? How long does this go on for, until you have removed all letters, or what? operator64 ArrayWorkshop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furrycow Posted February 5, 2010 Author Share Posted February 5, 2010 Sorry about not being clear enough. In answer to your question, yes 2 and 1 would produce the same as 1 and 2, and no i dont want to repeat, but i figured getting rid of repetition would be easy once i had the main function in place. And youre correct, after removing all the two letters, i would then want to move onto removing three, and then four and so on, AS LONG AS, the remaining string length was >1. After removing 5 and 4, it would then loop to go on and do, "1 and 2 and 3" as long as the remaining string length is greater than 1. It can return each string as it goes/add them to an array/or add them onto an existing string, i dont mind.

furrycow Posted February 5, 2010 Author Share Posted February 5, 2010 In order would be nice, but it shouldnt matter, because i can put them into an array and sort it... ...so you have a simple idea...??

Xand3r Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 maybee something like this?it does what you want ... just not in the order that you want it remove("HELLO") Func remove($text) $text = StringSplit($text,"") Dim $arr[UBound($text)] back($text,1,$arr) EndFunc Func back($text,$k,$arr) If $k=$text[0]+1 Then Local $ret="" For $i=1 To $text[0] If Not $arr[$i] Then $ret&=$text[$i] Next ConsoleWrite($ret & @CRLF) Else For $i=0 To 1 $arr[$k] = $i back($text,$k+1,$arr) Next EndIf EndFunc Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and i'm not sure about the former -Alber EinsteinPractice makes perfect! but nobody's perfect so why practice at all?http://forum.ambrozie.ro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furrycow Posted February 5, 2010 Author Share Posted February 5, 2010 YOU LEDGEND! Thank you so much, man have i been trying to get this to work for some time!! I was on the right trail though, i remember having a script that searched all files in all levels of directories in a specific directory, where it kept calling back on the function, so i was testing with that, but you have saved me a tonne of time!! Thanks everyone for their help. Instant Lockerz Invite - www.instantlockerzinvite.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martin Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 For the record, I was thinking of this strip("HELBO") Func Strip($text) $a = StringSplit($text, "") For $i = 0 To 2 ^ StringLen($text) - 1 $res = '' For $j = 1 To StringLen($text) If BitAND($i, 2 ^ ($j-1)) Then $res &= $a[$j] Next ConsoleWrite($res & @CRLF) Next EndFunc ;==>Strip Serial port communications UDF Includes functions for binary transmission and reception.printing UDF Useful for graphs, forms, labels, reports etc.Add User Call Tips to SciTE for functions in UDFs not included with AutoIt and for your own scripts.Functions with parameters in OnEvent mode and for Hot Keys One function replaces GuiSetOnEvent, GuiCtrlSetOnEvent and HotKeySet.UDF IsConnected2 for notification of status of connected state of many urls or IPs, without slowing the script.

furrycow Posted February 5, 2010 Author Share Posted February 5, 2010 Well thanks to you both martin and Xand3r, and actually, just running each of yours 10 times, with the string "HELLO", martin yours wins everytime, with an average of about 0.00400 seconds to xand3r's 0.00650 seconds.
