Couple Questions

[FinalVersion]

Lets say I have a text file with the entire alphabet equal to something.

Example:

a=0427
b=6753

I have an edit box, and a button. Now when you hit the button everything thing in the edit will transform. All the a's will equal 0427 etc. I need someone to point me in the right direction, what functions I'll need etc, Thanks.

Something like this...

Local $string = "abcd d"
Local $codedstring

$string = StringSplit($string, ""); splits string into array



For $letter In $string
    Select 
        Case $letter = "a"
            $codedstring = $codedstring & 100
        Case $letter = "b"
            $codedstring = $codedstring & 200
        Case $letter = "c"
            $codedstring = $codedstring & 300
        Case $letter = "d"
            $codedstring = $codedstring & 400
        Case $letter = "e"
            $codedstring = $codedstring & 500   
        Case $letter = " " ; space
            $codedstring = $codedstring & 600   
    EndSelect

Next

Msgbox(0, "Eat my code", $codedstring)

Or you could look at Associative Arrays which would be easier but they haven't been implemented into autoit except via someones UDF on the example scripts forum i think.

an AssocArray would be alot better as it would be like this...

$letters = ["a" => "100"], ["b" => "200"], ["c" => "300"], ["d" => "400"]

Then to get the value its like

$value = $letter["a"] ; $value now = 100

That example is from PHP it would be alot easier like that then having a HUUUUGE select statement

Ok thanks, I'll have a look at all of it.

I'm stuck atm, I know what the problem is, but I don't know how to fix it.

#include <File.au3>
#include <Array.au3>

Local $EC, $EL
_FileReadToArray(@ScriptDir & "\Data.txt", $EC)

For $i = 1 To $EC[0]
    $EL = StringTrimLeft($EC[$i], "2")
    MsgBox(0, "Code", $EL[$i])
Next

The problem being $EL isn't an array.

The problem being $EL isn't an array.

And how is that a problem? The helpfile is very clear on that StringTrimLeft returns a string

[Steveiwonder]

#include <File.au3>
#include <Array.au3>

Local $EC
_FileReadToArray(@ScriptDir & "\Data.txt", $EC)

Local $EL[$EC[0]]

For $i = 1 To $EC[0]
    $EL[$i-1] = StringTrimLeft($EC[$i], "2")
    MsgBox(0, "Code", $EL[$i-1])
Next

Works

I want help, not negative comments.

@Steveiwonder

Thanks, I'll have a look.

Do you have a reading disorder or what? That is just ridiculous. The helpfile say that StringTrimLeft returns a STRING, not an ARRAY. You also did not say anything about what problem you had.

Now if Steveiwonder guessed right on what you wanted, then good for him, but the rest of us aren't mind-readers. You need to give more details when you ask something. And you need to learn how to read english (quite funny since you write pretty good).

Seems pretty obvious to me. "I know what the problem is, but I don't know how to fix it." I was asking for a fix / way around, now I'm just going to ignore any further comments. Oh, and for the record, I read English fine.
