Reading specific characters out a field

[Iznogoud]

If you got a program wich generates key like: 12345-12345-12345-12345-12345

How can you select the first 5 and put them in a variable and the next 5 numbers/characters and so on.

So you leave the "-" alone.

Wich funtion do i need for this or how can i do this the best way?

$var = stringsplit("12345-12345-12345-12345-12345", "-")

For $x = 1 to $var[0]

msgbox(0,"test", $var[$x])

endif

that will do the trick

Valuater, you forgot to encapsulate the string in quotes

Then it will work

[Iznogoud]

$var = stringsplit("12345-12345-12345-12345-12345", "-")

For $x = 1 to $var[0]

msgbox(0,"test", $var[$x])

endif

that will do the trick

Maybe i am stupid But i am readying a line of text 12345-12345-12345-12345-12345 wich is an output of a program. But how do i get that in the stringsplit?

Is it enough to put the output in $output and make the code:

$var = stringsplit($output, "-")

For $x = 1 to $var[0]

msgbox(0,"test", $var[$x])

endif

Sorry i am a beginner to this so don't be hard on me

[Valuater]

$output = file read line............

;;;;;;;;;;;;thus $output = "12345-12345-12345-12345-12345 "

$var = stringsplit($output, "-")

For $x = 1 to $var[0]

msgbox(0,"test", $var[$x])

endif

Just need a little help

I have this code:

$output = FileReadLine($file)

$var = stringsplit($output, "-")

FOR $x = 1 to $var[0]

msgbox(0,"test", $var[$x])

EndIF

Problem is now, i get an error wich is: "if" statements must have a "Then" keyword.

Did i make a typing error or did you forget something?

I know you got more programming skills so i think i am doing something wrong but what?

replace the "EndIF" with "Next"
