passing args from one func to another ?

Don't know about you Jos, but I live in a democracy.

I am allowed to express my opinion and if you are offended by that, then

I suggest you put me in your ignore list.

And who is insulting who here ? crap, bullshit ?

I'm starting to believe you really are a kid, o wait now I offend you again don't I,

cause I express an opinion.

Well that's too bad cause I am European,

unlike you we'll tell you exactly how we feel.

Without having to fill our sentences with insulting words.

But then again we don't bleep them away either.

I offer my apologies and distinct knowledge in an attempt to start over with a clean sheet and you answer it with hatred ?!

Well if that's how you want to play it.

How far does your influence stretch outside the au3 fora ?

I'll treat you with the same kindness if you ever visit dostips,

which I happen to moderate.

Consider this conversation over Joske.

O and if you do visit, print it in your head how in my OPINION

a professional forum does look like !

But then ofcourse that's just an opinion and unlike you,

I allow you to feel different about it.

See ?, that's how you write a letter without using profanity,

but it still arrives, doesn't it.

Who on earth do you think you are, mass spammer ?

I suggest you meditate on that, It may help you to relax.

ps: I never insulted the forum nor you nor anyone else, as I said before I gave my opinion but ego seems to overpower the ability to accept criticism objectively.

And now I need to meditate because I don't want to feel unbalanced because of your immaturity.

This regular expression from a post by Ascend4nt might save you some grief:

#include <Array.au3>
$str = '"Hello, World", 12345, "A man, a plan, a canal, Panama!", "XYZZY"'
$array=StringRegExp($str,'((?<=s"|^")[^"]+(?=")|[^s",]+)',3)
_ArrayDisplay($array)

EdDyreen,

Strip the double quotes and then split the string on ", " - that gives me the result you want:

#include <Array.au3>

$str = '0_h, "1_h", "2_h", 3_h, "4_h", 5_h, "6,h", 7, "", 8'

$array=StringSplit(StringReplace($str, '"', ''), ", ", 3)

_ArrayDisplay($array)

Any use?

EdDyreen,

I thought that was too easy!

Thinking laterally, why do you use commas for both the intra-variable and the inter-variable delimiters? In some of my UDFs I have used semi-colons as the intra-variable delimiters - like this:

"a; single; arg", another_arg

Then you can StringSplit the complete string on " , " and then subsequently on " ; " to break up the individual parameters. I found it worked very well.

EdDyreen,

But there will still be the same sort of parsing going on, it is just that MSDOS does it for you behind the scenes.

What about my "lateral thinking"?

Edit: Forget it - I see Jos has produced a SRE to do the job.

Is this what you are looking for?:

#include <Array.au3>
$str = '0_h, "1_h", "2_h", 3_h, "4_h", 5_h, "6,h", 7, "", 8'
$array=StringRegExp($str,'((?<=s"|^")[^"]*(?=")|[^s",]+)',3)
_ArrayDisplay($array)

[Spiff59]

I've been trying for hours

You didn't bother to run Ascend4nts one-liner in the previous post?

Edit:

Ah, I see, it drops empty parms.

Was still a good place from which to start.

Jos changed one characted to allow empty parms and whala!

(Although the parms have to be quoted. Probably another minor tweak would allow ,, for a blank parm, if that's required)

Correct

[Jos]

Almost, except that now the last variable , 8 is not detected and is missing, but thanks anyways.

When I run it I get an array with 10 slots and the last one contains the 8.

Probably a hint that you should visit us more frequently!

[Melba23]

EdDyreen,

Really, I also lost the ability to replace in buffers, is now replace in selection.

I already regret having updated, this is totally unacceptable,

I require replace in buffers, in scite, any solutions besides downgrading ??

Please do not blame us - Jos just tweaks their latest version to work better with AutoIt. You should address your complaints to the SciTE developers.

[jchd]

I don't get what you're complaining about. Care to elaborate?

[Melba23]

jchd,

It never even occurred to me to look - and I am always telling young pilots "Don't assume, check!"

Is it Really needed to reply the way you do?

I am under the impression we are trying to help you and don't see why this is needed.

[Melba23]

EdDyreen,

Do not treat me like a child please

Then do not treat us as idiots.

[Jos]

Only a pity that this forum looks like a toy store.

That's us, all amateurs and clearly not at the professional level you are at.

*Note to self : Don't bother any further.

With an attitude like yours, you are likely going to draw a lot of offtopic posts to your threads.... much like this one. Pretty simple logic here; when you're asking for free help, don't be a jerk.

I think that should be the first thing users see when signing up, Danwilli
