Read out URL from .txt

[lordsocke]

Hi guys I want to copy out all links with a specific beginning from an textfile into another any ideas?

Look at the following in the help file:

• FileReadToArray(filename)
• For..In Loop (For $element in $aArray) to loop through each line in the file
• StringInStr - If StringInStr($element, "mytext") Then DoSomething.

the file is about 2mb any more "efficient" solutions?

I parsed a 3MB text file to an array in less than a second, exactly what level of efficiency are you looking to achieve?

Something like this? Finishes in just over a second for me on a 3MB file full of URLs.

#include <Array.au3>
#include <FileConstants.au3>

$sFile1 = FileOpen(@DesktopDir & "\1.txt", $FO_READ)
$sFile2 = FileOpen(@DesktopDir & "\2.txt", $FO_APPEND)

Local $aArray = FileReadToArray($sFile1)
    For $element in $aArray
        If StringInStr($element, "aslpro.com") Then FileWriteLine($sFile2, $element)
    Next

FileClose($sFile1)
FileClose($sFile2)
