augustspies Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Hey guys, I was wondering if it were possible to read a .rtf/.txt file then search for spelled out numbers and convert them into digits. example: "your numbers are five one seven six nine again five one seven six nine" want to search that string then convert to: 5169 if possible where should I start? do I need to use a switch? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

augustspies Posted June 11, 2011 Author Share Posted June 11, 2011 StringInStr() is where you want to start() After FileRead() that is! thanks for the reply johnone I've been playing around w/ it and I just can't seem to get it. I ended up getting the words to actual digits, So i no longer need to replace words to digits. What i'm trying to do now is just pull the actual string of #'s from the file. Here's the issues i'm not sure how to address though: - the string of #'s range from 4 - 5 digits in length how do set that up? - how do i split the first set of digits from the 2nd set? here's what I got so far: $MyString = "there are 1 2 3 4 pens again 1 2 3 4" $NumString=StringRegExpReplace($MyString,"\D","",0) MsgBox(0,"Numbers in Sring",$NumString) ; consolewrite($numString) thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

somdcomputerguy Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 (edited) Well I wanted to write some code to help you out. It is rare that I even try to write example code, even rarer that it works.. Anyway, here is an example that works, just not correctly.. Local $MyString_Array[10] = ["zero", "one", "two", "three", "four", "five", "six", "seven", "eight", "nine"], _ $MyString = "there are 1 2 3 4 pens again 1 2 3 4 ", _ $NewString, $MyNewString For $a = 0 to 9 If StringinStr($MyString, String($a)) Then $NewString = StringReplace($MyString, String($a), $MyString_Array[$a]) $MyNewString &= $NewString & @LF EndIf Next ConsoleWrite($MyNewString & @LF) This is what it outputs there are one 2 3 4 pens again one 2 3 4 there are 1 two 3 4 pens again 1 two 3 4 there are 1 2 three 4 pens again 1 2 three 4 there are 1 2 3 four pens again 1 2 3 four I'm going to work on this later, I have another idea to try, but maybe this will somehow help you, maybe somebody will be able to get this code to work before I do..<br><br>Edit: I figured it out and kicked myself.. Try this code:<br><br>Local $MyString_Array[10] = ["zero", "one", "two", "three", "four", "five", "six", "seven", "eight", "nine"], _<br> $MyString = "there are 1 2 3 4 pens again 1 2 3 4 "<br><br>For $a = 0 to 9<br> If StringinStr($MyString, String($a)) Then $MyString = StringReplace($MyString, String($a), $MyString_Array[$a])<br>Next<br><br>ConsoleWrite($MyString & @LF)<br><br> Edited June 11, 2011 by somdcomputerguy - Bruce /*somdcomputerguy */ If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.

augustspies Posted June 15, 2011 Author Share Posted June 15, 2011 awesome, sorry late reply thank you: sahsanu bruce Malkey jchd after looking through your examples i was able to piece what i needed together! appreciate your time do any of you know how to run a script at random invtervals? I've been using scheduled task but looking for a way to randomize the running times. i thought of putting the script in a while/wend statement w/ a random sleep at the end of the script however that would have the script running in the background all the time.
