StringSplit() Issue

[Kapz]

I am trying to create an array from a large txt file using the following delimiter "./" however, the array breaks up the txt file every time it comes across a single "/" rather than the combination of a period and slash as I specified. Is there a particular syntax that I should be using for such a delimiter such as "." & "/" ??

Can you show your SrimgSplit() line that you are using?

It also looks like it splits the file by periods and empty lines as well (although I thought the Stringreplace function got rid of those)

$41 = Stringreplace($map41,@CRLF,' ')

$41 = StringSplit($41, "./")

This is part of the txt file:

This is what it produces, I used "-" and a return space to seperate each individual array:

I do not know if it makes any difference but I notice that the example in the help file shows substring delimiters inside single quotes instead of double (ie './' ). Worth a try.

Check out the 3rd parameter for stringSpilt()

[optional] If flag is 0 (the default), then each character in the delimiter string will mark where to split the string. If flag is 1, then the entire delimiter string is needed to mark the split.

That fixed it!

It appears as though the empty lines are still there even with $41 = Stringreplace($map41,@CRLF,'') line, am I doing that incorrectly?

Thanks again.

You are reading the the file line by line by array? So StringStripWhiteSpace(..,3) should help to clear the way?

Big files are better line by line by most results.

I was trying to get rid of the return space before creating the array:

$41 = StringStripCR($map41)
    $41 = StringSplit($41, "./", 1)

which produces:

I'm trying to get rid of those empty line breaks before I create the array.

I really appreciate the help.

$41 = StringStripCR($map41)

$41 = StringSplit($41, @lf, 1)

Once chosen @CR is removed then you should be able to split by @lf? This will give an array by StringSplit().
