Please someone help me to write the below code in Autoit script.

Int Array_1 [ ]=student.txt

Int Array_2[ ]=CodeList.txt

Student.txt contains 400 of them like below, 10 characters letters and numbers like below

1. 98AB110101

2. 98AB110102

3. 98AB110103

So on up to 400

CodeList.txt contains 400 of them like below, 10 characters letters and numbers like below

1. ACD0010101

2. ACD0010102

3. ACD0010103

4. So on up to 400

I would like to have the auto it to . Compare the last five digits of 400 of student.txt and Codelist.txt and if the last digits of thestudent.txt and codelist.txt numbers are same then display the number.

When comparing the arrays do I have to compare e.g. element 2 of array 1 ("98AB110102") to element 2 of array 2 ("ACD0010102") or can the element of array 1 correspond to any of the 400 elements in array 2?

Yes, compare e.g. element 2 of array 1 ("98AB110102") to element 2 of array 2 ("ACD0010102``). if the last five digits of the element 2 of array 1 ("98AB110102") to element 2 of array 2 ("ACD0010102``) same the display number else display ``not same.

This function, _FileReadToArray, can replace this line - Int Array_1 [ ]=student.txt. Perhaps this function, StringCompare, can be used too.

Something like this:

#include <file.au3>
Global $Array_1, $Array_2
_FileReadToArray("C:\Temp\student.txt", $Array_1)
_FileReadToArray("C:\Temp\CodeList.txt", $Array_2)
For $i = 1 To $Array_1[0]
    If StringMid($Array_1[$i], 6) = StringMid($Array_2[$i], 6) Then MsgBox(0, "Compare", "# " & StringMid($Array_1[$i], 6) & " found in both files!")
Next

No error checking is done. When using in production you should check if _FileReadToArray return any errors and that both arrays have the same size.

If you have 400 equal records you will get 400 msgboxes and have to click 400 times "OK". Might be better to write the result to a file and then display this file.
