storing a lot non-subsequent and uneven digit of numbers somewhere

[FMS]

Hello,

I've a question about "storing a lot non-subsequent and uneven digit of numbers somewhere" and find/retrieve it when needed.
I use a lot of *.ini files at the moment for other things in mine script.
but this list of numbers is to large and unmanagebale to store them inside an *.ini.

In the script I've 3 comboboxes.
If the first 2 comboboxes are selected the third combobox will be filled in whit a selection of thoose numbers i speak of before.

I can't put them in an array or something inside the script because the numbers change often and needs to be changed outside the script.

Does somebody know a good way to do this?

You can store them in a file with a delimiter. When you need to retrieve them then use string split to split it by the delimiter. Giving you an array with each element.

#include <Array.au3>
#include <File.au3>

Local $aData[255]
Local $sFileData = ""
For $i = 0 to 254
    $aData[$i] = Round(Random(1, 65536), 3)
Next
$sFileData = _ArrayToString($aData, "|")
_ArrayDisplay($aData, "$aData Array")

FileWrite(@TempDir & "\Numbers.txt", $sFileData)

ShellExecute(@TempDir & "\Numbers.txt")
Sleep(1000)

$aData = 0

ConsoleWrite("A data has been destroyed" & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("Contents of our 'Numbers.txt' file: " & FileRead(@TempDir & "\Numbers.txt") & @CRLF)

Local $aLoadedData = StringSplit(FileRead(@TempDir & "\Numbers.txt"), "|")
_ArrayDisplay($aLoadedData, "$aLoadedData Array")
FileDelete(@TempDir & "$sFileData")

Couple of thoughts...

At the end, you stringsplit the file, then arraydisplay.  If that display is complete it would probably fit in an ini

Not that I would use one, but also if you know the element in the array you would want to retrieve you could probably filereadline.
