Problem with _FileReadToArray

[lesmly]

Hi, I've got a problem.

My simple script is:

#include <File.au3>
#include <Array.au3>
$filein = "C:\test.txt"
Local $tablefromfile
_FileReadToArray($filein, $tablefromfile, Default, "|")
_ArrayDisplay($tablefromfile)

File test.txt:

a|b|

When in file test.txt after "b" there is no "Enter" or there is one "Enter" - everything is OK,

but when there are more "Enter", or "Space" in the second line - didn't work. 

Why?

How can I read correctly file with many "Enter" after text?

lesmly,

You are telling the function that it should split the lines on the "|" character - and so it does. You then add further lines which do not contain that character - and the function fails with @error 3 (you did test this yourself?) as explained in the Help file:

Quote

@error:

3 - File lines have different numbers of fields (only if $FRTA_INTARRAYS flag not set)

Remarks:

When a delimiter is specified the function tries to further split each line of the file - how this is done depends on the setting of the $FRTA_INTARRAYS flag. If the flag is not set and each line has the same number of fields split by the delimiter then a 2D array is created, but if this is not the case then @error is set to 3 and no array is returned

When used with the $sDelimiter parameter, the function expects a "square" file with each line having the same number of delimited items - in your case the lines do not meet this criterion and so the function fails.

You have 2 choices:

1. - Use the $FRTA_INTARRAYS  parameter to get an array of arrays - as explained in the Help file:

Quote

 If the $FRTA_INTARRAYS flag is set the function creates a 1D array where each element is a further array holding the fields of the line split on the delimiter - the lines do not need to have the same number of fields

2. - Do not use the $sDelimiter parameter and split each line individually when required.

Please ask if you have any further questions.
