Olsenius Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 I got two .txt files (like the one attached). I make these files daily. So every file will be different. (500-2000 lines). What i need is a function to start at top of file1.txt and see if it finds this line in file2.txt. And so on with all lines in file1.txt (not sorted). And if it finds a line that is in both file1.txt and file2.txt it shuld write it to a new file. I could solve this by making a while inside a while sentence, but that wouldent be so effective. This brings me to my question: Can this be done effective (and relativly easy) Any suggestions are welcome. =) -Olsliste.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scriptkitty Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 (edited) fileread both files. you can do it a couple ways after that. assume @crlf for breaks. just off the top of my head, might have a bug in it. $file1=Filereadall("file1.txt") $file2=Filereadall("file2.txt") $fileline1=stringsplit($file1,@crlf,1) for $i=1 to $fileline1[0] if stringinstr(@crlf & $file2 & @crlf,@crlf & $fileline1[$i] & @crlf) _ and $fileline1[$i]<>"" then filewrite("found.txt",$fileline1[$i] & @crlf) next func Filereadall($_file) $_file=fileread($_file,filegetsize($_file)) return $_file endfunc edit added code for blank lines..
