Find value > 3600 on a txt and print the line

[superbosu]

Hi all!

I have a file.txt with all info about process running and I want to print out only lines / rows that have a value bigger then 3600 under "Time"

So for example if I have the attacched file, I have to print the line or lines:

29 DIA 11440 Run yes no 1 5699 SAPDBKDF 150 U818BARONC

is this easy to do? I think I should use _FileReadToArray and then loop something but don't know what.

tnx for reply

file.txt

Looping though the array is a good idea!

Make sure that you translate the "number" derived from the text file to a real number (function Number). That's because a FileRead returns a string.

superbosu,

This will write the lines with the "Run" value > 3600 to the SciTE console - up to you to get them printed:

#include <File.au3>

Global $aLines
_FileReadToArray("file.txt", $aLines)

For $i = 6 To $aLines[0]
    $aRet = StringRegExp($aLines[$i], "(\d+)", 3)
    If Number($aRet[1]) > 3600 Then
        ConsoleWrite($aLines[$i] & @CRLF)
    EndIf
Next

Please ask if you have any questions.

Hi Melba23 and tnx for the reply.

I tried your code with the file but the output was the same as the original file.txt without the top header lines:

Workprocess Table Wed Jan 23 16:03:53 2013

=================

No Type Pid Status Cause Start Rstr Err Time Program Cl User SemR SemL

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

right?

I think something is missing... any ideas?

[Melba23]

suprebosu,

My most abject apologies - I was looking at the PID column!

Just change $aRet[1]) to $aRet[3]).

it works! tnx a lot MELBA23

Number 1!

I realy love this forum! quick answers for everything you need.

Here another similar way:

Global $aFilter = StringRegExp(FileRead(@ScriptDir & "\File.txt"), "\d+\h+\w+\h+\d+\h+\w+\h+\w+\h+\w+\h+\d+\h+\d+.*", 3)
If @error Then Exit
Global $i, $a, $sLines
For $i = 0 To UBound($aFilter) - 1
    $a = StringRegExp($aFilter[$i], "\d+\h+\w+\h+\d+\h+\w+\h+\w+\h+\w+\h+\d+\h+(\d+).*", 3)
    If @error Then ContinueLoop
    If $a[0] > 3600 Then $sLines &= $aFilter[$i] & @LF
Next
MsgBox(0, "Test", $sLines)

Hi UEZ I tried your code with a file and it works too! tnx for the help

Depending on the size of your file this could be faster

Local $file = FileOpen("file.txt", 0)
Local $fileData = FileRead($file)
FileClose($file)

$array=stringregexp($filedata, "\r\n(.{45})([3-9].{4})(.+\r\n)",4)
consolewrite("Length of file: " & stringlen($filedata) &@CRlf)
consolewrite("Analyzing " & UBound($array) & " lines" &@CRlf )

For $i = 0 To UBound($array) - 1
Local $match = $array[$i]
;~   For $j = 0 To UBound($match) - 1
;~  consolewrite( "Match " & $i & ',' & $j & ":" & $match[$j] & @CRlf)
;~   Next
if number($match[2])>3600 then
  consolewrite( "Match :" & $match[0] & @CRlf)
endif
Next

When testing, this example would return the lines with 4599, 5699, and 3601 in the "Time" column.

And this example would not return the lines with 2601, 3599, or 3600 in the "Time" column.

#include <Array.au3>

$aArray = StringRegExp(FileRead("file1.txt"), "((?:[^\s]+\h+){7}(?:[3-9][6-9][0-9][1-9]|[3-9][7-9][0-9][0-9]|[4-9][0-9][0-9][0-9])\h?[^\v]*\v*)", 3) ; )
ConsoleWrite(FileRead("file1.txt") & @LF)
_ArrayDisplay($aArray)

; Use if there are greater than 4 digit numbers expected.
$aArray = StringRegExp(FileRead("file1.txt"), "((?:[^\s]+\h+){7}(?:[3-9][6-9][0-9][1-9]|[3-9][7-9][0-9][0-9]|[4-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]|[1-9][0-9]{4,})\h?[^\v]*\v*)", 3)
_ArrayDisplay($aArray)

Edit: "|[3-9][7-9][0-9][0-9]" added to regular expression pattern because 3700, 3800, and 3900 were not being captured.

And added an adjusted JohnQSmith's example of post #12.

_ArrayDisplay($aArray)

Excellent solution Malkey!

What if some future value is greater than 4 digits? I'd recommend expanding it to...

$aArray = StringRegExp(FileRead("file.txt"), "((?:[^\s]+\h+){7}(?:[3-9][6-9][0-9][1-9]|[4-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]|[1-9][0-9]{4,})\h?[^\v]*\v*)", 3)

I realised that "[3-9][6-9][0-9][1-9]" in the regular expression pattern would not capture 3700, 3800, and 3900.

I have updated the example of post #10.
