string (trim/left) etc need bit help :D

[tomashen]

$search = 0
    $search_complete = StringLen($update_command)
    Do
        $space_found = StringMid($update_command, $search, 1)
        If $space_found = "^" Then
            $found_middle = $space_found
        EndIf
        $search = $search +1
    Until $search = $search_complete

;~     $trim_update = StringTrimRight($update_command, $until_space)
    GUICtrlSetData($update_command, StringMid(GUICtrlRead($COMMAND_INSERT), $found_middle, $search_complete))

im tring to get the split where... the sign is "^"

so likei if i have

TEXT^NEWTEXT

the 'TEXT' will be replace to the new word after '^' sign which in this case is "NEWTEXT"

if the sign '^' not found in the whole string... then show error

im tring but i fail and fail...

_StringInStr perhaps, or perhaps _StringSplit?

tomashen,

Look at StringSplit in the Help file.

[tomashen]

lol i didnt understand it before.. never worked for me before.. i noticed now that u need to put

$array[x] haha thnx melba

[Melba23]

tomashen,

You really do need to search and read the Help file now and again rather than immediately posting here.

M23

[tomashen]

hehe ye sometimes im rly tired... after my hard gym workouts.. lot of weights u know how it goes

[Melba23]

tomashen,

And while I am in the picky mood - please start writing correctly as I am getting very tired of all the "txt spk" you use. The Shift button is available on all modern keyboards - as are all the other characters you need to write normally.

It is a joke - but a little bit serious too.

[Grapero]

do you know abot else ?

[tomashen]

ok melba but um im getting this error

Array variable has incorrect number of subscripts or subscript dimension range exceeded.:
GUICtrlSetData($Command_Called[1], $Command_Called[2])
GUICtrlSetData($Command_Called[1], ^ ERROR

all i got is this

$COMMAND_INSERT = GUICtrlCreateInput("Insert command...", 0, 280, 500, 20)


$Command_Called = StringSplit(GUICtrlRead($COMMAND_INSERT), "=", 1)
        GUICtrlSetData($Command_Called[1], $Command_Called[2])

[Melba23]

tomashen,

And what does the Help file tell you will happen if the delimiter is not found?

M23

[tomashen]

umm it says it sets error..

but i used the example tho o.O but anyway um i fixed it lol i put

global $Command_Called[2]

but now another problem trying to solve it while no answer but the problem is that

$Command_Called = StringSplit(GUICtrlRead($COMMAND_INSERT), ',', 1)
        $left_cut = StringMid(guictrlread($COMMAND_INSERT), 2, $Command_Called[1] -1)
        GUICtrlSetData($Command_Called[1], $Command_Called[2])
        $UPDATED = _GUICtrlEdit_InsertText($COMMAND_BOX, @crlf & "Command : " & $Command_Called[1] & " - Set to : " & $Command_Called[2])

GuiCtrlSetData() wont work in this case.

It wouldnt set the data to the control that i type in.like as for example i type in $Label,testing and it should set the label text to "testing" but it doesnt

[Melba23]

tomashen,

That is not the way to fix it.

If there is no delimiter then you will have @error set and only have 2 elements in your array - that is why $Command_Called[2] (the third element) gives an error. You need to check the StringSplit return like this:

$COMMAND_INSERT = GUICtrlCreateInput("Insert command...", 0, 280, 500, 20)

$Command_Called = StringSplit(GUICtrlRead($COMMAND_INSERT), "=", 1)
If @error
    ; What you do if there is no delimiter
Else
    ; You know you have both elements so you can use them
    GUICtrlSetData($Command_Called[1], $Command_Called[2])
EndIf

As to the second problem, what on earth do you think $Command_Called[1] -1 gives you?

StringSplit returns an array containing the split strings from the input. So why are you trying to use this string for a parameterin StringMid as if it was a numerical position in the string? That is what you get as a return from StringInStr.

I am going to say this one more time - READ the Help file. If you continue to ask questions which a cursory glance at the Help file will solve, you will begin to find that very few of the experienced members here will even bother to read your posts let alone answer them. Am I making myself perfectly clear?

[tomashen]

[i]$Command_Called[1] -1

i just put wrong figure there ^^

yes very clear but erm it wont set the new text for the label still.. :// sry if i rly annoy u

[Melba23]

tomashen,

One last effort!

$Command_Called[1] contains a string - as it is an element on the array returned by StringSplit which holds the parts of the string you pass to it.

In this snippet:

$left_cut = StringMid(guictrlread($COMMAND_INSERT), 2, $Command_Called[1] -1)

StringMid is expecting a number - which you would get as a return from StringInStr. If you use a string you will not get a return from StringMid and so have nothing to enter as data when you try to use GUICtrlSetData.

Got it?

[tomashen]

ok got it but then what if i use it like this

$COMMAND_SELECT = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 0, 280, 100, 20, $CBS_DROPDOWNLIST)
GUICtrlSetData(-1, "$TEST")


$Command_Called = StringSplit(GUICtrlRead($COMMAND_INSERT), "/", 1)
If @error Then
    ; What you do if there is no delimiter
    _GUICtrlEdit_InsertText($COMMAND_BOX, @crlf & "error!")
Else
    ; You know you have both elements so you can use them
    GUICtrlSetData(GUICtrlRead($COMMAND_SELECT), $Command_Called[2])
EndIf

and i test this but still dont work...so how can i get to read the array and then do the thing in this ... damn its hard with this... almost all day sitting on this point

finaly i got an idea like this and it works

If GUICtrlRead($COMMAND_SELECT) = "$_NormalLogs" Then GUICtrlSetData($_NormalLogs, _NowTime() & $Command_Called[2])

now

tomashen,

ok got it

Good!

But what is $TEST in your script? I see it used as data within your combo, but is it a control in your GUI?

If so then you need to write the code like this:

expandcollapse popup

#include <guiconstantsex.au3>
#include <comboconstants.au3>
#include <guiedit.au3>

$hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 500, 500)

$COMMAND_SELECT = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 10, 10, 100, 20, $CBS_DROPDOWNLIST)
GUICtrlSetData(-1, "TEST") ; Note we have to leave off the leading $

$COMMAND_INSERT = GUICtrlCreateInput("Insert command...", 10, 200, 400, 20)

$hButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Go", 10, 300, 80, 30)

; Create a control to match the name in the combo
$TEST = GUICtrlCreateLabel("", 200, 300, 150, 20)
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0xFFCCCC)

$COMMAND_BOX = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 10, 400, 400, 90)

GUISetState()

While 1

    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $hButton
            $Command_Called = StringSplit(GUICtrlRead($COMMAND_INSERT), "/", 1)
            ; Check we got a suitable return from StringSplit AND that there is a selection in the combo
            If @error Or GUICtrlRead($COMMAND_SELECT) = "" Then
                ; What you do if there is no delimiter or the combo is empty
                _GUICtrlEdit_InsertText($COMMAND_BOX, @crlf & "error!")
            Else
                ; You know you have both elements so you can use them - but you have to convert the text in the combo to the ControlID using Eval
                GUICtrlSetData(Eval(GUICtrlRead($COMMAND_SELECT)), $Command_Called[2])
            EndIf
    EndSwitch

WEnd

Is that what you are trying to do?

P.S. I really am beginning to hate this forum editor with a passion - it is a real crock of . Please can we go back to the old one - at least it did not add random text to the post when you edit!

[tomashen]

heh yeah that is very same thingi wanted to do

well i will keep your example for later if i get any problems with the one i just got working and thnx for all the help !

btw is it posible for me to add u in msn or yahoo or skype ?

those are faster than forums and u know it

[Melba23]

tomashen,

is it posible for me to add u in msn or yahoo or skype

So I become your personal code slave? Not a chance!

This forum exists so that everyone can read and learn - that is why PMs asking for help are against the Forum Rules. You post your questions here and I will help if I can.

Besides, a slightly slower data input rate will probably help my responses sink into your exercise over-heated brain more easily!

M23

P.S. Thanks for the effort to use more proper English words in the last few posts - I appreciate it!

[tomashen]

haha D: slave lol no but ye i understand why

and no problem for the english

im lithuanian tho... so dont expect every word to be perfect!

[Melba23]

tomashen,

im lithuanian tho... so dont expect every word to be perfect!

No problem!

I used to visit your country quite often - mainly Kaunas and Siauliai. Good food and nice beer as I remember.
