count fields that contain string

[Queener]

I have 14 fields and I was wondering is there an easier way to count the fields that contain Child?

If guictrlread($textbox1) = "Child" then
$xcountchild = $xcountchild + 1
endif

etc...

So those are my current codes, but is there an easier way to could?

How do you set this variables?

[Queener]

$textbox1, $textbox2, etc... for textboxes

$xcountchild is to call all variables that the textboxes contain the string child.

I mean: Do they get set using a GUI?

[Queener]

yes. I also fixed my code during reading the textbox lol

 

I tried, but it's not working because I would think I needed to declare it as an object.

 

$x = 0
    
    For $x = 0 To 14
      If guictrlread($InputName($x)) = "Child" Then
        $xchild = $xchild + $x
        
      EndIf
    Next
    MsgBox(0, "", $xchild)

Assign the IDs returned from GUICtrlCreate* to an array and then loop thorugh this array doing a GUICtrlRead one each ID.

Queener,

See if this makes sense...

#include <StaticConstants.au3>
#include <GuiConstantsEx.au3>

Local $gui010 = GUICreate('Find ""Child""',200,500)

Local $inputname[14]

For $1 = 0 To 13
    $inputname[$1] = GUICtrlCreateLabel('', 10, $1 * 30 + 10, 90, 20, $SS_SUNKEN)
Next

For $1 = 0 To Random(0, UBound($inputname) - 1, 1)
    GUICtrlSetData($inputname[$1], 'Child')
Next

GUISetState()

While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $gui_event_close
            ExitLoop
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Local $xchild

For $x = 0 To 13
    If GUICtrlRead($inputname[$x]) = "Child" Then ; <--- you were using $inputname as a function, use it as an array
        $xchild += 1
    EndIf
Next
MsgBox(0, "", $xchild)
