reading, splitting, and excecuting

[KurogamineNox]

Not sure if this is simple or not. Let me scale this down.

Variable's

$Text

$Array(because I think ill be needing array's for this)

ok say my $Text = NoxTal: /open http://google.com

I think ill need an array part but im stuck on that.

What I need is it to see if $Text contains ": /open "(without quotations, all spaces included)

Get rid of the ": /open " and everything on the left side, that way $Text only contains http://google.com

Is this possible?

This should do it.

$Text = "NoxTal: /open http://google.com"
$sRemoveString = ": /open "
MsgBox(0, "changed string", _RemoveLeftOfString($Text, $sRemoveString))
$Text = "NoxTal: /Notopen http://google.com"
MsgBox(0, "showing it wont change this string", _RemoveLeftOfString($Text, $sRemoveString))
$Text = "Banana: /open http://www.autoitscript.com"
MsgBox(0, "Another changed string", _RemoveLeftOfString($Text, $sRemoveString))

Func _RemoveLeftOfString($sString, $sRemoveString)
    Local $iStringPos = StringInStr($sString, $sRemoveString)
    If $iStringPos Then
        Return StringTrimLeft($sString, $iStringPos + StringLen($sRemoveString) - 1)
    EndIf
    Return $sString
EndFunc   ;==>_RemoveLeftOfString

$Text = "Banana: /open http://www.autoitscript.com"
MsgBox(0, "Another changed string", _RemoveLeftOfString($Text, $sRemoveString))

Func _RemoveLeftOfString($sString, $sRemoveString)
    Local $iStringPos = StringInStr($sString, $sRemoveString)
    If $iStringPos Then
        Return StringTrimLeft($sString, $iStringPos + StringLen($sRemoveString) - 1)
    EndIf
    Return $sString
EndFunc   ;==>_RemoveLeftOfString

Ty, this worked very well. I love how this community is helpful. I do hope I can be experienced enough like you guys.

Ok, ive run into another problem, I try to work on the coding before I ask another question(Didnt want to be lazy and just keep asking without trying). so I tried to implament your code to work with multiple values.

Example. say the original $Text = "NoxTal: /open http://google.com"

it got the $text = http://google.com

Now say i wanted multiple conditions.

/open

/calc

/notepad

just for a use of examples.

say it catches the ": /open ", i want it to go to a function that activates ShellExecute($Text)(since $text = http://www.google.com)

now say it catches ": /calc ", "NoxTal: /calc", I tried to get it to a code that calls the Func Calc() and have it open calc.exe

I failed to do that.

What would I need to edit to have this run with multiple values? if at all possible.

Edit: I dont know, maybe case could work? using the case function.

case ": /open "

Call("Website")

i dont know. It came into my mind while looking at another coding I had.

Something like this ?

$sRemoveString = ": /open "
$Text = "NoxTal: /open http://google.co.uk"
MsgBox(0, "", _RemoveLeftOfString($Text, $sRemoveString))
_DoSomething($Text)
$Text = "NoxTal: /calc"
_DoSomething($Text)
$Text = "NoxTal: /notepad"
_DoSomething($Text)

Func _DoSomething($sString)
    Select
        Case StringInStr($sString, ": /open ")
            ShellExecute(_RemoveLeftOfString($sString, ": /open "))
        Case StringInStr($sString, ": /calc")
            ShellExecute("Calc")
        Case StringInStr($sString, ": /notepad")
            ShellExecute("notepad")
    EndSelect
EndFunc   ;==>_DoSomething

Func _RemoveLeftOfString($sString, $sRemoveString)
    Local $iStringPos = StringInStr($sString, $sRemoveString)
    If $iStringPos Then
        Return StringTrimLeft($sString, $iStringPos + StringLen($sRemoveString) - 1)
    EndIf
    Return ""

Yes, I think this works exactly as I needed. The Case structure works well. Everything is based off the StringInStr command. Thank you. Im sure I can implement this. Thank you Yoriz.
