Array - get the number of the elements

[Queener]

-------------------------EDIT-----------------------

I think I know the work around, but I'm not sure how to rephrase it...

Say we have

[John]
ID=123
 
[James]
ID=234
 
[Jack]
ID=543

How do I code so msgbox return the number of element that display in $inputsearch2?

so if James was input in $inputsearch2, msgbox would return 2 or Jack in $inputsearch2 then msgbox return 3.

#include <Array.au3>
$searchThisSection = "James"
$array = IniReadSectionNames("c:\temp\test.ini")
msgbox(0,0,_ArraySearch($array, $searchThisSection))

Something like that?

... if I paste your data in my ini file and run it, I get a msgbox stating "2". That is what you mean, I guess? If not, please post more example code. Merely mentioning a variable called "$inputsearch2" doesn't tell us a whole lot about the situation in question

asianqueen,

You changed the title and the text to something quite different from the origional, probably because you did not get a reply.  The reason you did not get a reply was because your question was not clear and what you posted was not runnable, nor was there any discernable flow, just fragments. 

As you have seen, the forum members are very helpfull but we need something to go on.  Please post runnable code and/or define what you expect and what is going wrong.

Yes I have changed the title to rephrase it so it's easier to understand of what I'm aiming for. Will test the code and see if it works...

I don't know what it was before, but it is quite hard to understand now. Was my code enough (you accepted it as an answer) or was there anything else?

quite hard? hahaha you answer my question right on the point. I have another question base on array, but will create a new topic since it's different question.
