_filereadtoarray including linefeeds

[gordo]

I'm using _fileradtoarray to parse a simple text file I created. When reading the file into an array, it's clearly recognizing each new line by the carriage return character, but it's also adding this character to each array value. How do I prevent this from happening?

You can recreate this effect by creating a file in Notepad called c:\test.txt with several lines of [Enter] delimited text. Then run this script and you can see that the array value gets the carriage return added:

#include <file.au3>

Dim $array

If Not _FileReadToArray("c:\test.txt",$array) Then

MsgBox(4096,"Error", " Error reading file:" & @error)

Exit

EndIf

While 1

If WinActive("Untitled - Notepad") Then

ControlClick("Untitled - Notepad", "", 15)

Send($array[1])

EndIf

sleep(1000)

WEnd

I'm using _fileradtoarray to parse a simple text file I created

when you create this .txt file can you use

FileWrite ( filehandle or "filename", "line" )

Parameters

filehandle The handle of a file, as returned by a previous call to FileOpen. Alternatively, you may use a string filename as the first parameter.

line The line of text to write to the text file. The line is written as is - no @CR or @LF characters are added. ****** important part ***

hope it helps

I'm not creating or writing to the file in my script, I'm just trying to parse an existing, manually created file, so I don't think the FileWrite command would help. Thanks anyway.

since you are reading a line at a time, cant you just read the file lines into a $String

or do you have a purpose for ther array?

I suppose that's the answer... I was hoping to use an array for simplicity's sake, but it looks as if that filereadarray function is just too limited for my needs.
