FileOpen > FileRead > StringInStr - Not found

[souldjer777]

Good Morning All,

I'm hoping someone here can work their AutoIT magic 

I'm doing a pretty "simple" string search in a HUGE variable.

But I'm doing the basics almost straight out of the Help File...

( sorry, I'm leaving out my main code for privacy reasons )

Local $hFileOpen = FileOpen($sFilePath, $FO_READ)
Local $sFileRead = FileRead($hFileOpen)
Local $sEmailPosition01 = StringInStr ($sFileRead, $sEmailAddress )

Everything looks good with my troubleshooting

I ran IsString against $sFileRead and $sEmailAddress and was okay: "The variable is a string"

So then I ran StringLen($sFileRead) and got string length 68352786

Yeah, I know... That's HUGE - But it worked with the older version of AutoIT (upgraded yesterday) v3.3.14.2

Is there an "Excessive" variable I should set?!? lol. Should I search the string a different way maybe?

I know the string is in there... but I'm getting a StringInStr @error : 0 @extended: 0

Please help! Thank you all

Thanks Danyfirex

Could you try a StringInStr w/ an email address like this please?

first.last@domain.org

Just want to make sure it's just me...

I'm going to uninstall / reinstall everything if your results are fine.

Keep working. (tested with a txt file UTF8 (without BOM))

Saludos

; Retrieve the character position of where the string 'white' first occurs in the sentence.
Local $iPosition = StringInStr("This is a sentence first.last@domain.org with whitespace.", "first.last@domain.org")
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "The search string 'first.last@domain.org' first appears at position: " & $iPosition)

Almost straight from the HelpFile. Works for me. AutoIt 3.3.14.0

Not so huge ...

MAX_STRINGLEN

= 2,147,483,647

Maximum string length.   (help file)

Well this is whole bunches of odd... I uninstalled, deleted the AutoIT directory from my program files... rebooted, installed - but this used to work I'm tellin ya...

Where is the embedded StringInStr function hiding? - does anyone know? 

I want to compare the two if possible. Old version vs New.

To be more exact... I'm loading about a 130MB Address Book and searching for emails.

I mean, I can load it in notepad and find the email no problem to... so I know it's in there... just something changed in the update.

So, in the meantime, I went back from 3.3.14.2 to 3.3.12.0...  and it WORKS!!! HA! I can't believe it lol, I just surprised myself lol, Literally just now... I didn't think it would work LOL.  Kinda impressed with myself.  Same script - Different version of AutoIT. Yeah, something changed since then obviously. Anyone have any ideas?! Can I export the old StringInStr to a "_StringInStr.au3" file or something?!

Just looking for a workaround.

Thanks!

The udetail.oab file is binary, so I believe the string stops at the first NUL character it sees.

[souldjer777]

Thanks BrewManNH

So what's the difference in StringInStr from AutoIT v3.3.14.2 to v3.3.12.0? Did StringInStr stop doing binary? StringInStr works fine in v3.3.12.0.



Both these come back fine...

MsgBox (0, "", "String Length: " & StringLen($sFileRead) & @CR & "Is String? " & IsString($sFileRead))
MsgBox (0, "", "String Length: " & StringLen($EmailSearch01) & @CR & "Is String? " & IsString($EmailSearch01))

Ah, I see the difference... for some reason I'm getting a longer string length with the older version...

OLD:
String Length: 136692232
Is String? 1

NEW
String Length: 68352786
Is String? 1

Don't hold me to that right now... I'm verifying that data is correct now - I need to have the in paralled imo - both versions of AutoIT to troubleshoot.

Thanks Yall!

Please read the section "Script breaking changes" in the help file.
The part about FileOpen describes what has changed.

[souldjer777]

Thank you Water! I'll look into it! I appreciate the feedback!

So... now I gotta figure out what any of that means lol.

[souldjer777]

K, this worked like a charm

Local $hFileOpen = FileOpen($sFilePath, $FO_READ + $FO_UTF8_NOBOM)

NEW:
String Length: 136444713
Is String? 1



Thank you again water!
