Thanks

Ok I have now this:

#include <file.au3>
#include <Array.au3>
Global $i_lowest
$time = @HOUR & @MIN & @SEC
Dim $a_secondfile
_FileReadToArray("code.txt", $a_secondfile)
_ArrayAdd($a_secondfile, $time)
_ArraySort($a_secondfile)
$iIndex = _ArraySearch($a_secondfile, $time, 0, 0, 0, 1)
While 1
$i_lowest = _ArrayMin($a_secondfile, 1, 1)
_ArrayDisplay($a_secondfile, "$avArray AFTER _ArraySort() ascending" )
If $i_lowest < $a_secondfile[$iIndex] Then
_ArrayDelete($a_secondfile, 0)
EndIf
WEnd

The idea is that the code will delete the number was lower than the number $ a_secondfile [$ iIndex].

But having other numbers that are lower than $ a_secondfile [$ iIndex] so the code does not delete them. He just deletes only once ...

Why?

It's in the Loop ...

I do not understand.

Help me!

what data do you have in code.txt?

[Guest]

what data do you have in code.txt?

Several rows of numbers that Smaller than the number of the time( $time = @HOUR & @MIN & @SEC )

This code:

#include <file.au3>
#include <Array.au3>
Global $i_lowest
Dim $a_secondfile
_FileReadToArray("code.txt", $a_secondfile)
While 1
$time = @HOUR & @MIN & @SEC
_ArrayAdd($a_secondfile, $time)
_ArraySort($a_secondfile)
$iIndex = _ArraySearch($a_secondfile, $time, 0, 0, 0, 1)
$i_lowest = _ArrayMin($a_secondfile, 1, 1)
_ArrayDisplay($a_secondfile, "$avArray AFTER _ArraySort() ascending" )
If $i_lowest < $a_secondfile[$iIndex] Then
_ArrayDelete($a_secondfile, 0)
EndIf
WEnd

Do it but he adds a couple of times the number of time

[bogQ]

#include <file.au3>
#include <Array.au3>
Global $time = @HOUR & @MIN & @SEC, $a_secondfile
_FileReadToArray("code.txt", $a_secondfile)
_ArrayDelete($a_secondfile, 0)
_ArrayAdd($a_secondfile, $time)
_ArraySort($a_secondfile)
$iIndex = _ArraySearch($a_secondfile, $time, 0, 0, 0, -1)
_ArrayDisplay($a_secondfile, $time )
For $x = UBound($a_secondfile)-1 To 0 Step -1
    If Number($a_secondfile[$x]) < Number($time) Then
        _ArrayDelete($a_secondfile, $x)
        _ArrayDisplay($a_secondfile, $time )
    EndIf
Next
MsgBox(0,"","the end")
_ArrayDisplay($a_secondfile, "the end" )

i think that number() done the trick

Thank you.

It works but I did not understand how it works ..

What does it mean this line:

For $x = UBound($a_secondfile)-1 To 0 Step -1

?

Edited August 26, 2011 by Guest

[bogQ]

UBound returns how many elements there are in array

so we will set $x (temp variable) to hold number of array rows, the array start from 0 so we lower will UBound witn -1

so $x will hold the correct loop number starting from 0 element in array

from $x to 0 (from number of rows in array to 0 row)

step -1, so that itl count down and not up (count up is the defold in 'For' loop)

hi,

bogQ already covered it, but I already typed this bit so another explanation won't hurt right?

That line iterates through the entire array in reverse order.

UBound returns the size of the array so if I have three elements in array $asFruits like

$asFruits[0] = Mango
$asFruits[1] = Pineapple
$asFruits[2] = Strawberry

Then UBound($asFruits) will return a value of 3.

However, to get the last element, $asFruits[uBound($asFruits)] is invalid since the last element is given by $asFruits[2] or $asFruits[3-1] or $asFruits[uBound($asFruits)-1]

The For loop is one of the many available loop structures available in AutoIt and it looks like this

For..To..Step..

..(body)

Next

So in words, For $x = UBound($a_secondfile)-1 To 0 Step -1 would mean:

Assign each index of this array to $x, starting at the highest index(UBound($a_secondfile)-1) then stepping down 1 (Step -1) at a time until the 0th position.

Of course the Step -1 action is only performed after the body of the loop is executed and the matching Next keyword is encountered.

Hope this helps,

OK

The code.txt now contains this:

1=201108824031212
1=201108824051215
1=201108824041242

So I added:

For $x = 1 To $a_secondfile[0]
    $a_secondfile[$x] = StringTrimLeft($a_secondfile[$x], 11)
Next

But it does not work ..

Why?

This complete code:

expandcollapse popup

#include <file.au3>
#include <Array.au3>
Global $a_secondfile
_FileReadToArray("code.txt", $a_secondfile)
For $x = 1 To $a_secondfile[0]
    $a_secondfile[$x] = StringTrimLeft($a_secondfile[$x], 11)
Next
_ArrayDelete($a_secondfile, 0)
_ArrayAdd($a_secondfile, @HOUR & @MIN & @SEC)
While 1
$hour = @HOUR
If $hour = "00" Then
    $hour = "24"
EndIf
If $hour = "01" Then
    $hour = "25"
EndIf
If $hour = "02" Then
    $hour = "26"
EndIf
If $hour = "03" Then
    $hour = "27"
EndIf
If $hour = "04" Then
    $hour = "28"
EndIf
If $hour = "05" Then
    $hour = "29"
EndIf
If $hour = "06" Then
    $hour = "30"
EndIf
If $hour = "07" Then
    $hour = "31"
EndIf
If $hour = "08" Then
    $hour = "32"
EndIf
If $hour = "09" Then
    $hour = "33"
EndIf
$time = $hour & @MIN & @SEC
_ArraySort($a_secondfile)
$iIndex = _ArraySearch($a_secondfile, $time, 0, 0, 0, -1)
For $x = UBound($a_secondfile)-1 To 0 Step -1
    If Number($a_secondfile[$x]) < Number($time) Then
        _ArrayDelete($a_secondfile, $x)
    EndIf
Next
_ArrayDisplay($a_secondfile, $time )
WEnd

EDIT:

It works.

Wrong test

[bogQ]

if it works nwm

if you need something shorter than 'If Then'

Select
    Case $hour = "00"
        $hour = "24"
    Case $hour = "01"
        $hour = "25"
    Case $hour = "02"
        $hour = "26"
    Case $hour = "03"
        $hour = "27"
    Case $hour = "04"
        $hour = "28"
    Case $hour = "05"
        $hour = "29"
    Case $hour = "06"
        $hour = "30"
    Case $hour = "07"
        $hour = "31"
    Case $hour = "08"
        $hour = "32"
    Case $hour = "09"
        $hour = "33"
EndSelect

[Guest]

Thank you.

But are you sure that $time is updated every second?

Edited August 26, 2011 by Guest

[bogQ]

that depends of array size and of your comp speed, but if your not playing with alot of lines id say it update about minimum 500-1000 times in 1 second

Edited August 26, 2011 by bogQ

[smartee]

if you need something shorter than 'If Then'..

But..but.. I like If..Then

$hour = Number($hour)
If ($hour >= 0) And ($hour <= 9) Then
    $hour += 24
EndIf

[bogQ]

do it in 2 no need 4 4
