_Filereadtoarray

[HardCopy]

Example small text file called test.txt or whatever.

File contains 5 lines of numbers 1 2 3 4 5 etc

run this snippet

#include <GuiConstants.au3>
#include <array.au3>
#include <file.au3>

 Dim $RetArray = ""
  _FileReadToArray("C:\test.txt",$RetArray)

_ArrayDisplay($RetArray,"Test")

Output shows

[0]=6 <--- Yup looks good

[1]=1

[2]=2

[3]=3

[4]=4

[5]=5

[6]= <--Not Good <----- @ Blank Element CRLF???

7 elements index says 6

no trailing linefeed in my text.

currently im redimming on the index[0] to work round it

This blank elemnt looks suspect to me. If i am wrong will someone educate me as to its purpose.

Thanks

Guess you have @CRLF after record 5 ? (in other words, the last record in the file is also empty? )

Well JdeB, sorry for wasting your time.

I honestly thought of that before i posted here, and checked for the linefeed before saving it.

WAS using ConText for text editing, and scite for coding, dumb i know, thought i was to busy at moment to worry bout that. (Now fixed that.)

So i used Scite to save the file. Bingo No blank element.

Context was saving the extra line without my known consent.

Thanks for taking the trouble to assist.
