rizal Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 i have 2 txt files [file1.txt & file2.txt]. each file have different value[integer] stored. i want to compare. if the value in file1.txt > file2.txt, a message box will appear and show "Pass". if not, it will show "failed". Please help me solve this. I'm still new to autoit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Melba23 Posted July 19, 2011 Moderators Share Posted July 19, 2011 rizal,The short answer is: Read the 2 files into variables using FileRead/_FileReadToArray and then do some comparing. The longer answer is: - Where is this integer stored within the file? In a specific line? If so you could use FileReadLine to reduce the size of the strings to compare.- Are the integers of the same or different lengths? If the same, a simple StringMid should suffice to do the comparison - if not you will probably have to look at _StringBetween or a RegExp. Perhaps if you posted a couple of sample files indicating where the integers are within them we could be more specific.

987learner Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Hi Rizal I'm a newbie here too. Some simple code to get you going. No extensive error checking code here. $sFile1="file1.txt" $sFile2="file2.txt" $hfile1=FileOpen ( $sFile1, 0 ) If $sFile1 = -1 Then MsgBox(0, "Error", "Unable to open "&$sFile1&" file") Exit EndIf $ivalue1a=Fileread ($hfile1);file 1 handle FileClose($sFile1) msgbox (0,"File1",$ivalue1a) ;test point, remove this line after tested ok $hfile2=FileOpen ( $sFile2, 0 ) If $sFile2 = -1 Then MsgBox(0, "Error", "Unable to open "&$sFile2&" file") Exit EndIf $ivalue2a=Fileread ($hfile2) FileClose($sFile2) msgbox (0,"File1",$ivalue2a) ;test point If $ivalue1a > $ivalue2a then msgbox (0,"Output",$sFile1 & " has larger integer"&@crlf& _ $sFile1 & " has "& $ivalue1a&@crlf& _ $sFile2 & " has "& $ivalue2a) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GEOSoft Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 (edited) This is just written on the fly and not tested but it should be fine or at least show you one method of doing it $sStr = FileRead("file1.txt") & @CRLF & FileRead("file2.txt") $aValues = StringRegExp($sStr, "(?m:^).*?(\d+).*(?:\v|$)+", 3) If NOT @Error Then If UBound($aValues) < 2 Then MsgBox(4096, "Error", "The files do not both contain digits") Else If Int($aValues[0]) = Int($aValues[1]) Then MsgBox(0, "Result", "The values are the same") ElseIf Int($aValues[0]) > Int($aValues[1]) Then MsgBox(0, "Result", "The value in File1.txt is larger") Else MsgBox(0, "Result", "The value in File2.txt is larger") EndIf EndIf EndIf EDIT: Try not to upload RAR files. I won't even be bothered downloading them because then I have to extract them to view the files. Windows has native zip support and I can just open the file without extracting it. Not a problem extracting but it's an extra step I won't be bothered with. Edited July 20, 2011 by GEOSoft George Question about decompiling code?

987learner Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 i try it but it only show the message box that show the value of the file1 & file2.it don't show the message box that file1 value is > than file2 value.how to make it appear?Sorry for the late reply as I was out for 8 hrs after I post it. I retest again, no problem here. Can appear as intended. Don't really know why it is not working at your end.Nevertheless, GEOSoft has provided you a sample, but for learning sake, have you benefit from his script? Do bear in mind we assumed in good faith your file1.txt & file2.txt will always contain integer value only. (I believe you extact the value thru some other script/batch file)The problem is: if file1.txt has a value of 5w8780 then output could evaluate wrongly.
