kor Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 I am using _FileListToArray to get a list of all folders in a directory (lets say C: drive) I am then _ArrayDelete to trim the first value from the array to remove the folder count I am then taking that list of folders and running the script, however before I start the loops I want to look in the array and delete specific folders such as "System" "$Recycle.bin" and a few other folders. However the directory count changes, so the system folders and such will never be in the same place in the array. How do I delete by only knowing the name of the folder? I have searched and come across _ArraySearch but I'm not sure the structure of the code that is needed to search the array for a list of specific folder names, then remove them from the array.

JohnOne Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Im still a little scared baby when it comes to fiddling with arrays so always work around it Maybe you dont need to delete them, just ignore them Global $array[6] = ["Documents","System","Files","Recycle","Nothing","Something"] For $n = 0 To UBound($array) -1 If $array[$n] <> "System" And $array[$n] <> "Recycle" Then ConsoleWrite($array[$n] & @CRLF) EndIf Next Im certain there are swankier ways though.

kmetski Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 here is a way to delete elements only by knowing there name Global $array[6] = ["Documents","System","Files","Recycle","Nothing","Something"] Global $folderstodeletefromarray[2] = ["System","Windows"] For $n = 0 To UBound($folderstodeletefromarray) -1 $iIndex = _ArraySearch($array, folderstodeletefromarray[$n], 0) If @error Then MsgBox(0, "Not Found", '"' & folderstodeletefromarray[n] & '" in array of files ') Else ;here we will delete it from primary array _ArrayDelete($array, $iIndex) EndIf Next I hope it helps you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kor Posted April 11, 2010 Author Share Posted April 11, 2010 Global $exclusions[3] = ["$RECYCLE.BIN", "$AVG", "System Volume Information"] Exclusions() Func Exclusions() For $n = 0 To UBound($exclusions) -1 $index = _ArraySearch($folders, $exclusions[$n], 0) If @error Then Else _ArrayDelete($folders, $index) EndIf Next EndFunc Works great.
