search compare and sort file's name

[Stephane.P]

Hello,

I'm trying to use Autoit to save me (and others users) days of work.

I must say I'm a newbie with autoit :">

I need to open a software with a particular file and apply a "patch" on this file

This part of the script is already working

The second part is more difficult to me, here it is what I want to do

- select a folder and search for all the file with the 'gig' extension (the "main" file)

- select a folder and search for all the file with the 'art' extension (the "patch")

Let's say I will find

aaaaa.gig

bbbbbbb.gig

ccccccccccc.gig

the patch's file will have the same name with some character added to the right, like this :

ccccccccccc_123.art

aaaaa_12.art

bbbbbbb_19.art

So, after searching all these files, I need to compare and sort them to be able to launch the software with the correct "main" and "patch" file.

I checked the FileSearch function from ezzetabi for searching the files, but I don't really know which function is better to compare and sort the file's name.

Any advice ?

btw : perhaps Autoit isn't a correct solution to do this. I say "correct" because it doesn't need to be the best solution as I don't know another language.

Thanks in advance

I'm not certain if this is exactly what you are looking for. If it's not, perhaps it will give an idea.

Many thanks for your code !

too bad, the search function was already ok when I read your answer... :">

Now, I have an array [x lines][6] with all the files path, the sorted, unsorted.... files

I want to view the array content in several Listview but I have a problem :

"$mylist" & $i return a correct value ($mylist0 to... $mylist5) but the GuiCtrlCreateListViewItem return 0.

So the listview is empty

I don't know where is my mistake

GUICreate("Name to be set", 1265, 600) 

; I define 1 Listview for each column of the array
$mylist0 = GUICtrlCreateListView("Gig", 5, 5, 200, 550)
$mylist1 = GUICtrlCreateListView("Art", 210, 5)
$mylist2 = GUICtrlCreateListView("Sorted Gig", 415, 5)
$mylist3 = GUICtrlCreateListView("Sorted Art", 620, 5)
$mylist4 = GUICtrlCreateListView("Unaffected Gig", 825, 5)
$mylist5 = GUICtrlCreateListView("Unaffected Art", 1030, 5)

; Loops for populate the listviews :
; $i is the column number
; $j is the row number

For $i = 0 To UBound($array, 2) - 1
    For $j = 0 To $array[0][$i]
        GUICtrlCreateListViewItem($array[$j][$i], "$mylist" & $i)
    Next
Next

Best regards,

You can't join variables like you are doing with "$mylist" & $i. Add the control ID's in an array like...

Dim $mylist[6]

$mylist[0] = GUICtrlCreateListView("Gig", 5, 5, 200, 550)
$mylist[1] = GUICtrlCreateListView("Art", 210, 5)
$mylist[2] = GUICtrlCreateListView("Sorted Gig", 415, 5)
$mylist[3] = GUICtrlCreateListView("Sorted Art", 620, 5)
$mylist[4] = GUICtrlCreateListView("Unaffected Gig", 825, 5)
$mylist[5] = GUICtrlCreateListView("Unaffected Art", 1030, 5)

Edit: I was right damnit. Look at the above.
