Reading from one text line - separating text

[emlo9999]

Hello, 

It's my first post here and I'm creating this topic because it's really difficult to specify my problems and solve it by using search engines.

Here is the problem:

I have a txt file which looks like this:

something1111|something22|0
something4|something899999|0
something11|something6|0

what I need to have:

$var1=something1111
$var2=something22
$var3=0

and so on. Can you help me?

What have you tried - let's see some of your code.  See the help item for StringSplit perhaps

I think I will manage to do it now, I only needed the name of function that does such thing

emlo9999,

Welcome to the AutoIt forum.

Putting the data into separate variables is not that easy - how about an array?

#include <File.au3>

; Creare an array to hold the items - witha a count in 0
Global $aItems[1000] = [0]

$aLines = FileReadToArray("Test.txt")

;_ArrayDisplay($aLines, "", Default, 8)

For $i = 0 To UBound($aLines) - 1
    ; Split the line and add to the array
    $aTemp = StringSplit($aLines[$i], "|")

    ;_ArrayDisplay($aTemp, "", Default, 8)

    ; Now add these items to the array
    For $j = 1 To $aTemp[0]
        ; Increase count
        $aItems[0] += 1
        ; Add item
        $aItems[$aItems[0]] = $aTemp[$j]
    Next
Next

; Remove unused elements
ReDim $aItems[$aItems[0] + 1]
; Show result
_ArrayDisplay($aItems, "All done")

I have left the _ArrayDisplay lines so you can follow the code as it runs. Please ask if you have any questions.

These are the two functions I would use..

_FileReadToArray()

StringSplit()

 

 

See the help file for use

.............. Melba beat me to it... But we agree on functions use!!  8)

Here is another working example.  A "Test.txt" file with appropiate data needs to exist in same directory as this script.  Otherwise, the full path name of file is required.

#include <Array.au3> ; For _ArrayDisplay() use only.

$aArray = StringRegExp(FileRead("Test.txt"), "[^|\v]+", 3) ; Split text on all "|"s (vertical bars) and/or "\v"s (vertical white spaces).

_ArrayDisplay($aArray)
