Naming Array Variable after Data in another Array


 Share

Recommended Posts

Hello Autoit forum, 

i created script that runs through text files and finds out how many arrays i need to create for the data in the files.

I would like to create the appropriate Array automatically depending on the data saved in a previous run through.

For expample Array1 (first run through) [5] = ["Car","bike",Tree","Train","Shoe"]

I would like him to create an array $aCars but i dont know that "Car" will be in my first array so i cant write it manually. 

At the core i really only need the ability to create multiple Arrays with some kind of automated self naming system.

 

Thanks a lot

I think you are looking for something like "Maps" functionality. I think it's still only in beta with AutoIt, currently.

Alternatively you could use "Scripting.Dictionary" here's an example:

$oDictionary = ObjCreate("Scripting.Dictionary")

;method 01
$oArray = ObjCreate("System.Collections.ArrayList");dynamic array
$oArray.Add('a')
$oArray.Add('b')
$oArray.Add('c')
$oDictionary.Add("Cars", $oArray)
ConsoleWrite( $oDictionary.Item("Cars").Count & @CRLF )
For $i=0 To $oDictionary.Item("Cars").Count-1
    ConsoleWrite( $oDictionary.Item("Cars").Item($i) & @CRLF )
Next

ConsoleWrite(@CRLF)

;method 02
Local $aArray[] = ['a','b','c'];static array
$oDictionary.Item("Cars") = $aArray
ConsoleWrite( UBound($oDictionary.Item("Cars"), 1) & @CRLF )
For $i=0 To UBound($oDictionary.Item("Cars"), 1)-1
    ConsoleWrite( $oDictionary.Item("Cars")[$i] & @CRLF )
Next

The name of a variable in a program is utterly unimportant!

still have to put stuff in the var you set, thats not automatic

local $aList = ["car" , "bike" , "plane"]

assign("a" & $aList[0] , stringsplit("passat , acura , honda" , "," , 2))

msgbox(0, '' , eval("acar")[0] & @LF & eval("acar")[1] & @LF & eval("acar")[2])

Yes we can, but this is a terrible way of coding simple things.
