_FileListToArray

[behdadsoft]

Hi.

I wrote this code that make list from text contain with _FileListToArray Function. but when I use _ArrayDisplay for view array there is a 1 number at first list. please Guide Me.

Thanks

Local $List = _FileListToArray (@DesktopDir, "*", $FLTA_FOLDERS,False)
_ArrayDisplay ($List)

behdadsoft, as with your other post, instead of asking people "please guide me" you need to read the help file. As indicated in the help file, the first element in the array will be the number of folders returned:

Success: A one-dimensional array.
$aArray[0] = Number of FilesFolders returned

From the help file for _FileListToArray

 

Return Value
 

Success:

A one-dimensional array.
     $aArray[0] = Number of FilesFolders returned
     $aArray[1] = 1st FileFolder
     $aArray[2] = 2nd FileFolder
     $aArray[3] = 3rd FileFolder
     $aArray[n] = nth FileFolder

[behdadsoft]

 

$aArray[0] = Number of FilesFolders returned

 Yes right, I was not paying attention. 

My Problem is that how can remove Number of FilesFolders returned ?

because when I use this code show number of Folde:

Local $List = _FileListToArray (@DesktopDir, "*", $FLTA_FOLDERS,False)
_ArrayDisplay ($List)
Local $ArrToStr = _ArrayToString ($List)
MsgBox(0, "Done", $ArrToStr)

You might want to start reading the help file rather than having us keep quoting it to you. There's no option to not return the count in the function, you'd have to delete the first element of the array, use _ArrayDelete.

[JLogan3o13]

Again, read the help file:

Local $List = _FileListToArray (@DesktopDir, "*", $FLTA_FOLDERS,False)
_ArrayDelete($List, 0)
_ArrayDisplay ($List)

[behdadsoft]

Thanks.

 

Again, read the help file:

sorry, I'm newbie to programming. ok I read more help files.

today learn more about Some Functions. Thanks Again

Why delete it? _ArrayToString() can be set so as not to print the first element. Otherwise you're adding such a massive overhead to your code if the array is massive.

I'm going off the assumption he is still working on this script: '?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>>, so looping through the array is necessary. Have tried to explain all of this in the first thread; not sure why a second was even necessary.

But why delete the first element? I am not really following.

[JLogan3o13]

Again, I wouldn't, myself. And have shown the OP how to loop through the array using the [0] element. Whether due to a language barrier or lack of experience, the message is not getting through.

A single _ArrayDelete is certainly less overhead processing than _ArrayToString, so unless he's actually using the string that he's creating for the MsgBox, which I had assumed he wasn't because he used _ArrayDisplay in the first post and was using it to see what was in the array, then _ArrayDelete would be the best option.

[guinness]

I am trying to determine if the reason for deletion is just cosmetic only. Or is there an actual reason as to why it's removed (though can't think of a valid reason)?

PS I prefer arrays not  to have the number of elements in the first element, but then I am guilty of creating arrays just like this in the past.
