Table

[anony10]

Hello!

Im looking for a command, or something that i can read / write a table with. Lets say i write 5 words in a .txt file in one line. I seperate them from each other with something (%, a space, or something), it reads that line, and if it finds the symbol (eg %) it "breaks" the two words and put the first word in Label1, put the other word in Label2, etc etc. I want to be able to read certain lines.

I hope you get it.

Thanks

You hsould have a look at function StringSplit to "break" the line into pieces.

Thank you, but an other question. How can i "read" the cutted pieces? I mean, i've tried out the example script, with one more line

$days = StringSplit("Sun,Mon,Tue,Wed,Thu,Fri,Sat", ",")
;$days[1] contains "Sun" ... $days[7] contains "Sat"
$text = "ThisnlinencontainsnC-style breaks."
$array = StringSplit($text, 'n', 1)
msgbox(0, "asd", $array)

It gets me a blank msgbox. Am i doing it wrong?

nvm, solved! i think its enough, thanks.

You can't display an array with function MsgBox. Use _ArrayDisplay.

Can i read out from a .txt file, and break the read out line ? Like

$text = "ThisnlinencontainsnC-style breaks."

this but instead of the "ThisnlinencontainsnC-style breaks." part i want to split the read out words.

StringReplace, use the character you have splitting the words as the delimiter, and @CRLF as the replacement character.

Or _ArrayToString in the Array UDF.

anony10,

This creates a 2d table (what you seem to be asking about). To understand the code, reference the help file. There are also excellent tutorials for Autoit in general on the Wiki, just do a search for them (Google, Yahoo, whatever...).

There are also a host of user defined functions (UDF's) that are very useful for repetitive and/or complex tasks. These are also documented in the help file (your best friend).

You will also find excellent support on this forum, providing that:

1 - you show some effort to learn the language

2 - abide by the forum rules

3 - have attempted to solve the problem before asking

Good Luck,

kylomas

Thank you, i have solved every problem I had, so it seems im pretty set atm. Thank you everybody for the support.

[water]

Glad you solved your problems

[anony10]

But as im progressing in my script i have new problems... Now im trying to figure out how to use multiple forms (like 3, 4) in one .au3 file, but this is offtopic.
