Copy wanted columns in a text file

[t11wright]

Here is a picture about what I say.

I want to write a script that opens this text file and at first line finds url and the title then writes them to another 2 independent boxes, then comes to text file second line.. .. ..

How I can seperate a line to url and text with autoit?

Sorry for bad english.

EDIT: where the watch?v=H2BU1NCAOIM ends is Column 44.

You'll notice that each "column" is exactly the same length. So the easiest thing to do would be to use a StringLeft to get the first column and a StringRight to get the second one. You could get complicated and use a RegEx, but for this text you really don't need it. You would read each line using FileReadLine. Something like this should get you started.

 

#include <FileConstants.au3>
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>
#include <WinAPIFiles.au3>

Example()

Func Example()
    Local $sFilePath = "youtube.txt"
    ; Open the file for reading and store the handle to a variable.
    Local $hFileOpen = FileOpen($sFilePath, $FO_READ)
    If $hFileOpen = -1 Then
        MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "An error occurred when reading the file.")
        Return 
    EndIf
    While 1
        $Text = FileReadLine($hFileOpen)
        If @error = -1 Then ExitLoop
        $sURL = StringLeft($Text, 44)
        $sTitle = StringMid($Text, 45)
        ; do something with the URL and title text here
    WEnd
    
    ; Close the handle returned by FileOpen.
    FileClose($hFileOpen)
EndFunc   ;==>Example

Thank you a lot! You are a life saver

BTW, I changed the StringRight to a StringMid in the example script I posted, I realized it was a much better option for the second column because it was a variable length compared to the first column.
