delete a line in a xml file

[serr57]

Hi everybody,

I have a xml file where a date line is present.

I would like to delete this line.

My script is running well, but at the and I get this message:

"Array variable has incorrect number of subscripts or subscript dimension range exceeded.:"

I don't understand why.

Here is my script:

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

Dim $sFile = "My xml file"
Dim $aLines
_FileReadToArray($sFile, $aLines)
_ArrayDelete($aLines,2)
FileDelete($sFile)
For $i=1 to $aLines[0]
   If $aLines[$i]<>"" Then FileWriteLine($sFile,$aLines[$i])
Next

Does anybody can help and explain this to me?

many thanks

It looks like you need to change:

For $i=1 to $aLines[0]
   If $aLines[$i]<>"" Then FileWriteLine($sFile,$aLines[$i])
Next

to

For $i=1 to Ubound($aLines)-1
   If $aLines[$i]<>"" Then FileWriteLine($sFile,$aLines[$i])
Next

Many thanks, It work now, but I don't understand the reason why...

the array has 150 elements (for example) but as the counting starts at 0

the last element has number 149.

$i=1 to $aLines[0]

This means from 1 to 150 but as there is no element with number 150 it gives error.

It would be correct (not quite) : $i=1 to $aLines[0]-1 .

As $aLines[0] may not always contain the number of elements in the array , always use

the Ubound() function which returns the number of elements in the array.

Many thanks Juvigy for your explanations
