_StringBetween maybe not the correct function?

[MariusN]

Where am i going wrong?

Local $gui, $MSG, $test, $string, $send, $read, $test2, $menu6,$data,$data2,$data3

    While 1
        Switch GUIGetMsg()

            $i_pid = Run(@ComSpec & " /c netstat -e", @SystemDir, @SW_HIDE, 6)
            While 1
                $s_stdout &= StdoutRead($i_pid)
                If @error Then ExitLoop
            WEnd
            If $s_stdout Then
                WinSetState($h_edit, "", @SW_LOCK)
                GUICtrlSetData($i_edit, "")
                $data = GUICtrlSetData($i_edit, $s_stdout)
                $data2 = GUICtrlRead($i_edit,1)
                $data3 = _StringBetween($data2, "Bytes", "Unicast packets",-1); <---here lies my prob
                MsgBox(0,"",$data2); <---here is a test that ahows "$data2" is correct
MsgBox(0,"",$data3); <--- Shows an empty box
                WinSetState($h_edit, "", @SW_UNLOCK)
            EndIf
            $s_stdout = ""
            $i_timer = TimerInit()
        EndIf
    WEnd
    GUIDelete()
EndFunc

If you look above, i am trying to get ONLY the figures between the "Bytes" and "Unicast packets"...this is the SEND and RECEIVING bytes...maybe i'm using the _StringBetween wrong?

The function _StringBetween() returns and array. Use _ArrayDisplay() instead of MsgBox() to check it out.

What does your string look like?

will do thx PsaltyDS...Just for interest sakes, i saw this in another thread

$MIB_TCPSTATS=DllStructCreate("dword[15]")
DllCall("Iphlpapi.dll","int","GetTcpStatistics","ptr",DllStructGetPtr($MIB_TCPSTATS))

$sent=DllStructGetData($MIB_TCPSTATS,1,11) ; dwOutSegs
$resent=DllStructGetData($MIB_TCPSTATS,1,10) ;dwRetransSegs

MsgBox(0,"Total uploaded",$sent&" packets.")
MsgBox(0,"Total Downloaded",$resent&" packets.")

(ok, ive played around with the 1,11 and 1,10)

It seems so easy...Is there any site you could recomment where i could get more info on the "DllStructCreate, etc" stuff? I'm very unfimmiliar with this

Start from the help file of course, then start checking out how the DLL calls are done in the various UDFs. For example, the _WinAPI_* functions.
