Updating Variables And Arrays?

[Warmonger 0]

How would I go about updating a array or variable. While script is running. And how would I go about updating a array/variable on a loop. Possible with AdlibRegister? Would putting them inside a function and calling that function every so often work?

What im trying to constantly update.

Global $BanIP
Global $Admin
Global $NameBan

_FileReadToArray('Ban.txt', $BanIP)
_FileReadToArray('Admin.txt', $Admin)
_FileReadToArray('Name.txt', $NameBan)

Hello,

just test this script:

expandcollapse popup

#Include <File.au3>

Global $BanIP
Global $Admin
Global $NameBan
Global $aUpdate[3][2]
Global $aInfo[3]

$aUpdate[0][0] = @ScriptDir & '\Ban.txt'
$aUpdate[1][0] = @ScriptDir & '\Admin.txt'
$aUpdate[2][0] = @ScriptDir & '\Name.txt'

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

#region - GUI Create
GUICreate('Test',800,200)
for $i = 0 to 2
    $aInfo[$i] = GUICtrlCreateLabel("",10,10+$i*40,750,25)
Next
GUISetState()
#endregion
AdlibRegister("_CheckChanges", 2000)

#region - GUI SelectLoop
Do
until GUIGetMsg() = -3
#endregion


Func _CheckChanges()
    For $i = 0 To 2
        $dtFile = FileGetTime($aUpdate[$i][0],0,1)
        If $dtFile <> $aUpdate[$i][1] Then
            ConsoleWrite($i & ": Changed " & $dtFile & @CRLF)
            $aUpdate[$i][1] = $dtFile
            Switch $i
                Case 0
                    _FileReadToArray($aUpdate[$i][0], $BanIP)
                Case 1
                    _FileReadToArray($aUpdate[$i][0], $Admin)
                Case 2
                    _FileReadToArray($aUpdate[$i][0], $NameBan)
            EndSwitch
            GUICtrlSetData($aInfo[$i],$aUpdate[$i][0] & ": Last Changed " & $dtFile)
        EndIf
    Next
EndFunc

Im inside a console so everything's event driven. Im looking to update the data the array holds not checking for the last update taken to file. The file holds the data for the array. I want the array to automatically update as I add more data in the file.

Hi warmonger,

that's what autobert has written, it checks whether the file has been updated, an if it's updated, the array will be updated.

You cannot read changes from a file that has not been saved yet.

Calling them every so often will update them like I stated before.

#include <File.au3>
#include <Console.au3>

Cout('Testing Active Array Updates')
Cout(@CRLF)

Global $BanIP
Global $Admin
Global $NameBan

AdlibRegister('_UpdateArray', 5000)

While 1 = 1
    Sleep(10)
WEnd

Func _UpdateArray()
    _FileReadToArray('Ban.txt', $BanIP)
    _FileReadToArray('Admin.txt', $Admin)
    _FileReadToArray('Name.txt', $NameBan)
    Cout('Ban ' & $BanIP[0])
    Cout(@CRLF)
    Cout('Admin ' & $Admin[0])
    Cout(@CRLF)
    Cout('Name ' & $NameBan[0])
    Cout(@CRLF)
EndFunc
