search array and create new array

[cookiemonster]

im trying to search my array, then save it as new array which then turns to string but its failing:

Local $FileList = _FileListToArray("C:\")
Local $avResult = _ArrayFindAll($FileList, "123", 0, 0, 0, 1, 1)

_ArrayDisplay($avResult, "Results")

; The new array will have the same number of columns

Local $aNewArray = UBound($avResult)

For $i = 0 To UBound($avResult) -1 ; Loop through the returned index numbers.
$aNewArray[$i] = $FileList[$avResult[$i]] ; Populate the new array.
Next

_ArrayDisplay($aNewArray, "New Array")
Global $sFileList = _ArrayToString($aNewArray, "|")

GUICtrlSetData($combobox, $sFileList)
msgbox (0, "t", $sFileList)

It fails at '$aNewArray[$i] = $FileList[$avResult[$i]] ; Populate the new array.'

cookiemonster,

You need to declare your $aNewArray correctly:

Local $aNewArray[UBound($avResult)]

Ha as if i was bring that stupid! 

Anyway that works now, many many thanks.

Do you know if its possible to wildcard search with arrayfindall?

cookiemonster,

 

if its possible to wildcard search with arrayfindall?

Looking at the code it calls _ArraySearch which uses StringInStr - so it would appear not.

But as it seems you are looking for items the names of which contain a certain string, why are you going about it in this roundabout way? Why not use the filter in _FileListToArray (which does accept wildcards) to list only those files in the first place?

This finds all files with "dlc" in their names:

#include <Array.au3>
#include <File.au3>

Local $FileList = _FileListToArray("C:\", "*dlc*", 1)
Global $sFileList = _ArrayToString($FileList, "|", 1, 0)

MsgBox(0, "t", $sFileList)

Try that with your "123" and see what you get.
