[Help] Arrays with variables and loops

[Attckdog]

Got a quick question about how to fill arrays with a loops.

I'm trying to read a large txt file and load its contents line by line into different arrays.

The reason I want to do this is to keep an easy way to tell what line the data came from.

I tried a few different methods to no real success got frustrated, so here I am.

My best bet as to how to do it:

$AAA = FileOpen("C:\Documents and Settings\dhicks\My Documents\TEST.txt")
; Check if file opened for reading OK
If $AAA = -1 Then
MsgBox(0, "Error", "Unable to open file.")
Exit
EndIf



For $Lines = 1 To 6000
$BBB = FileReadLine($AAA)
$CCC = $BBB[$Lines]
Next

For $Lines = 1 To 6000
_ArrayDisplay($CCC)
Next

So what I was aiming or was:

For every line of the file - read that line to get a string then load that line into an array.

If there is an easier way to do something like that i'm all for it.

Here's an easier way to read the file into an array, the $BBB[0] element holds the number of lines read.

#include<File.au3>
#include <Array.au3>
Global $BBB
$AAA = FileOpen("C:Documents and SettingsdhicksMy DocumentsTEST.txt")
; Check if file opened for reading OK
If $AAA = -1 Then
    MsgBox(0, "Error", "Unable to open file.")
    Exit
EndIf
FileClose($AAA)
_FileReadToArray("C:Documents and SettingsdhicksMy DocumentsTEST.txt", $BBB)
_ArrayDisplay($BBB)

I don't know why you need different arrays for each line. I would use one large array for all the lines. That said, I am not sure how big the file is or if the lines have hard returns but you could read it in as one string then use stringsplit($string,@crlf). You would end up with

array[0]=line 1

array[1]=line 2

etc.

Every line would have its own numeric spot in the array. What would having a seperate array add? If you needed something else, you could always create an associative array / dictionary.

Also you probably don't want to display the entire array 600 times. _ArrayDisplay displays the whole array every time it's called. Check it.

I'm worried I was having a case of doing it the hard way eh?

Yeah I was only doing that for testing purposes.

The complete script will just be used for collecting the data and exporting it in a more readable fashion.

There are so many UDFs and functions available, it's hard to know which ones might be useful and what's available.

***EDIT***

NVM found out I was ruining SciTE with too many consoleWrites lolz

New Problem Getting an error during my script. Runs fine for a little while. Then dies giving this Error. Is my array to huge or something?

Attckdog,

This usually means that you are making a reference outside of array bounds...where is the code?
