Hello,

I just started to worte this function:

#include <Array.au3>

Local $aArray0[5] = ['xxx','ttttttt','zzzz','ttt']
Local $aArray[4][2] = [['adefxxxxxdo',''], _
['648fc','xxx'], _
['uiic','mmm'], _
[$aArray0,'']]

;~ _ArrayDisplay($aArray," (Line: "&@ScriptLineNumber&")")


;~ ConsoleWrite( &" (Line "&@ScriptLineNumber&")"&@CRLF)


ConsoleArrayWrite($aArray)


Func ConsoleArrayWrite($aArray,$DisplayFrom = 0)


    $yArray = UBound($aArray)-1
    $xArray = UBound($aArray,2)-1
    If $xArray < 0 Then
        ReDim $aArray[$yArray+1][1]
        $xArray = 0
    EndIf
    Local $xMaxStringLen[$xArray+1]
    Local $aTmp1[$yArray+1]
    Local $StringLens[$yArray+1][$xArray+1]
;~  Local $aWorkArray = $StringLens

    Local $xMaxStringLenStart = $xMaxStringLen


    Local $tmp1
    For $x = $DisplayFrom To $xArray
        For $y = $DisplayFrom To $yArray
;~          $aWorkArray[$y][$x] = $aArray[$y][$x]
            If IsArray($aArray[$y][$x]) Then $aArray[$y][$x] = '[Other Array]'
            $tmp1 = StringLen($aArray[$y][$x])
            $StringLens[$y][$x] = $tmp1
            $aTmp1[$y] = $tmp1
        Next
        ;_ArrayDisplay($aTmp1," (Line: "&@ScriptLineNumber&")")
        $xMaxStringLen[$x] = _ArrayMax($aTmp1, 1)+2
    Next


    Local $cOutput = '',$aRstring,$tmp2
    For $x = 0 To $xArray
        $tmp1 = ConsoleArrayWrite_Int1(Int(     ($xMaxStringLen[$x]-StringLen($x)+2)/2  ))
        $cOutput &= $tmp1&'['&$x&']'&$tmp1
    Next
    $cOutput &= @CRLF
    For $y = $DisplayFrom To $yArray
        $cOutput &= '['&$y&']'
        For $x = 0 To $xArray

            If $StringLens[$y][$x] = $xMaxStringLen[$x] Then
                $aRstring = $aArray[$y][$x]
            Else
                $tmp1 = Int(        ($xMaxStringLen[$x]-$StringLens[$y][$x])/2  )
                $tmp2 = ConsoleArrayWrite_Int1($tmp1)

                $aRstring = $tmp2&$aArray[$y][$x]&$tmp2
                $tmp2 = ($tmp1*2)+$StringLens[$y][$x]

                If $tmp2 < $xMaxStringLen[$x] Then $aRstring &= ConsoleArrayWrite_Int1($xMaxStringLen[$x]-$tmp2)


            EndIf

            $cOutput &= $aRstring
            If $x < $xArray Then $cOutput &= '|'
        Next
        If $y < $yArray Then $cOutput &= @CRLF
    Next
    ConsoleWrite($cOutput&@CRLF)
EndFunc


Func ConsoleArrayWrite_Int1($Count)
    Local $Output = ''
    For $a = 1 To $Count
        $Output &= ' '
    Next
    Return $Output
EndFunc
 
It works.
with the array is like in the example it print:
post-66583-0-10241000-1421360138_thumb.p
 
 
 
But if the array have more x elements. for example something like this:
Local $aArray0[5] = ['xxx','ttttttt','zzzz','ttt']
Local $aArray[4][10] = [['adefxxxxxdo',''], _
['648fc','xxx'], _
['uiic','mmm'], _
[$aArray0,'']]

then it print:

 post-66583-0-64750900-1421360275_thumb.p

 

And if one of the strings in the array have @CRLF or @LF then it print for example:

post-66583-0-99825700-1421360411_thumb.p

I do not know how to solve these problems.
It is very buggy prototype but I this is a good start ..
Please help me solve these problems

Thanks

EDIT:

This:

Local $cOutput = '',$aRstring,$tmp2 = 0
    For $x = 0 To $xArray
        $tmp1 = ConsoleArrayWrite_Int1(Int(     ($xMaxStringLen[$x]-StringLen($x)+2-$tmp2)/2    ))
        $cOutput &= $tmp1&'['&$x&']'&$tmp1
        $tmp2 += 3
    Next

Instead of

Local $cOutput = '',$aRstring,$tmp2
    For $x = 0 To $xArray
        $tmp1 = ConsoleArrayWrite_Int1(Int(     ($xMaxStringLen[$x]-StringLen($x)+2)/2  ))
        $cOutput &= $tmp1&'['&$x&']'&$tmp1
    Next
 
Fix a bit the first problem...
With this fix the first problem start after 10:

Thanks, UEZ :)

I will use it. But I like more my style..
 
 
Seems your function does not calculate alone the $iColumnWidth and does not centering each string unlike my function.
Maybe you can learn from my example the logic how to center and calculate $iColumnWidth (For each column) and upgrade your function based on this

Updated the code from post#2 with following options:

  • center text in the cell
  • display border of the cell
Thanks to gil900 for the idea to center the value within a cell.
