Read String into Array and Swap

[dreamzboy]

Hi All,

Sorry for raising this noobie thread but I can't seem to find a function that can read a string and break it up into an Array. I hope it's easy to do. I can do this in C but Autoit is a little different. Here's an example of what I would like to do, have an input box (GuiCtrlCreateEdit) where user can paste the information into it and my program will swap the information to have the output below with a click of a button:

User Input:

134.567.890.123 Hostname1 #Some comment on the Hostname

094.123.344.333 Hostname2 #Another comment on the Hostname.

.

.

To be specific:

Array[0,0] = 134.567.890.123 Array[0,1] = Hostname 1

Array[1,0] = 094.123.344.333 Array[1,1] = Hostname 2

What I would like to see in the output:

Hostname1 134.567.890.123

Hostname2 094.123.344.333

.

.

.

One method that I was going to use is StringisSpace, but that function only detects spaces. If there are any characters within it, it does not work. How will I go about making this work? I know I'll have to use the "_Arrayswap" function within the library but will it work given that I have 2 dimensions array?

Thanks in advance guys! It's been awhile since I did any programming.

tab delimited?

[iamtheky]

Dim $Aarray[2][2]

$Aarray[0][0] = "134.567.890.123"
$Aarray[0][1] = "Hostname 1"
$Aarray[1][0] = "094.123.344.333"
$Aarray[1][1] = "Hostname 2"


msgbox (0, '' , $Aarray[0][1] & @TAB & $Aarray[0][0] & @CRLF & $Aarray[1][1] & @TAB & $Aarray[1][0])

Another skinned cat. It may be a faster script without messing with arrays.

$sSampleText="134.567.890.123 Hostname1 #Some comment on the Hostname"

$sSampleText=StringRegExpReplace($sSampleText , '(.*?)h+(.*?)h+(#.*)v?' , '$2 $1 $3' , 0)
MsgBox(0,"gar",$sSampleText)

It's sometime space and sometime tab.

$sSampleText="134.567.890.123 Hostname1 #Some comment on the Hostname"

$sSampleText=StringRegExpReplace($sSampleText , '(.*?)h+(.*?)h+(#.*)v?' , '$2 $1 $3' , 0)
MsgBox(0,"gar",$sSampleText)

This will not work because I'm going use GuiCtrlCreateEdit and have user input those information. It could ranges from 1 line to 100 lines. The program would need to read the user input and then convert it to the output suggested above.

Here is another example with multiple lines with some built in pattern detection. Notice the string after @crlf is relatively backwards.

$sSampleText="134.567.890.123 Hostname1 #Some comment on the Hostname"&@CRLF&"Hostname2 094.123.344.333 #Another comment on the Hostname."

$sSampleText=StringRegExpReplace($sSampleText , '([0-9]{1,3}[0-9]{1,3}.[0-9]{1,3}.[0-9]{1,3}.[0-9]{1,3})h+(.*?)h+(#.*)v?' , '$2 $1 $3' )
$sSampleText=StringStripWS($sSampleText,4)
MsgBox(0,"gar",$sSampleText)

Thanks for the useful tip. It's just unfortunate that your code is not flexible. Quite honestly, I'm looking for a function to detect a "space or tab" between the string, from there I'll know how to break it up into arrays to make the code easier to manage. I'll hate to do all this in a C console while Autoit has such a nice GUI to it.

Any additional help is much appreciated.

You can grill and season it...

#include <Array.au3>
Local $asInput[2], $asOutput[2][2]
$asInput[0] = "192.168.0.1" & @TAB & "hostname 1" & @TAB & "#some comment about hostname 1"
$asInput[1] = "192.168.0.2 hostname 2 #some comment about hostname 2"
For $string in $asInput
    _Output($asOutput, $string)
    If @error Then msgbox(64 + 262144, @ScriptName, "Failed to parse '" & $string & "'. Was not TAB or SPACE delimited.")
    _ArrayDisplay($asOutput) ; Check Output
Next

Func _Output(ByRef $asOutput, $sString)
    Static $x = 0 ; hehe... static-x
    $asSplit = StringSplit($sString, "#")
    If Not @error Then $sString = $asSplit[1]
    If StringInStr($sString, @TAB) Then
        $asSplit = 0
        $asSplit = StringSplit($sString, @TAB)
        $asOutput[$x][0] = $asSplit[2]
        $asOutput[$x][1] = $asSplit[1]
        $x+=1
        Return SetError(0,0,True)
    Else
        $iSpace = StringInStr($sString, " ")
        If Not @error Then
            $asOutput[$x][0] = StringRight($sString, StringLen($sString) - $iSpace)
            $asOutput[$x][1] = StringLeft($sString, $iSpace - 1)
            Return SetError(0,0,False)
        Else
            Return SetError(1,0,False)
        EndIf
    EndIf
    Return SetError(1,0,False)
EndFunc

This is good. Thanks a bunch!! Time to bring out the bbq sauce.

Here another version:

#include <Array.au3>
$sIP = "134.567.890.123    Hostname1       #Some comment on the Hostname" & @CRLF & _
            "094.123.344.333       Hostname2       #Another comment on the Hostname" & @CRLF & _
            "123.222.111.10        Hostname3       #3rd entry"

$aResult = TransformInput($sIP)
If Not @error Then _ArrayDisplay($aResult)

Func TransformInput($sText)
    If Not IsString($sText) Then Return SetError(1, 0, 0)
    If $sText = "" Then Return SetError(2, 0, 0)
    Local $aSplit = StringRegExp($sText, "(?m)s*(d{1,3}.d{1,3}.d{1,3}.d{1,3})s*(w+)s*", 3)
    If @error Then Return SetError(3, 0, 0)
    Local Const $iUB = UBound($aSplit)
    Local $a2D[Floor($iUB / 2)][2], $i, $j = 0
    While $i < $iUB
        Switch BitAND($i, 1)
            Case 1
                $a2D[$j][0] = $aSplit[$i]
                $j += 1
            Case 0
                $a2D[$j][1] = $aSplit[$i]
        EndSwitch
    $i += 1
    WEnd
    Return $a2D
EndFunc
