Split a multi line string into separate variables

Recommended Posts

The McAfee return for AV defs per "C:\Progra~1\Common~1\McAfee\SystemCore\csscan.exe -Versions" is ...

CommonShell Command Line Scanner Lite (VSCORE.15.5.0.3960)

    Engine version: 5800.7501

    DAT version:    8450.0

    Time required:  15 milliseconds

I want to isolate the actual DAT version as "8450.0".  There may be an easier way to get the DAT Version via other McAfee or registry methods but essentially I just want to know how to parse a string at a character or @CRLF into two separate strings for further parsing. Example:

$string = "Name=Microsoft Windows 10 Professional |C:\windows|\Device\Harddisk0\Partition2"

Parse into $var1 = "Name" & $var2 = "Microsoft Windows 10 Professional |C:\windows|\Device\Harddisk0\Partition2"

From there I'd like to parse $var2 at "|" into  $var3 = "Microsoft Windows 10 Professional" and $var4 "C:\windows|\Device\Harddisk0\Partition2"

Welcom to AutoIt and the forum!

Use something like this:

$string = "Name=Microsoft Windows 10 Professional |C:\windows|\Device\Harddisk0\Partition2"
$aResult1 = StringSplit($string, "=")
$aResult2 = StringSplit($aResult1[2], "|")

You get two arrays with the resulting substrings.

Thanks for the help. That looks like it would work but I'm getting no results (pebkac?).

$string = "Name=Microsoft Windows 10 Professional |C:\windows|\Device\Harddisk0\Partition2"
$aResult1 = StringSplit($string, "=")
$aResult2 = StringSplit($aResult1[2], "|")
MsgBox(0, "aResult1", "" & $aResult1, 1.5)
MsgBox(0, "aResult2", "" & $aResult2, 1.5)

What am I missing?

Got it...

#include <Constants.au3>

Global $DOS, $Message = '' ;; added "= ''" for show only.

$DOS = Run(@ComSpec & " /c C:\Progra~1\Common~1\McAfee\SystemCore\csscan.exe -Versions", "", @SW_HIDE, $STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD)
ProcessWaitClose($DOS)
$local_av_version = StdoutRead($DOS)

MsgBox(65536, "", "The McAfee AV information" & @CRLF & $local_av_version)

Dim $split[3]
Global $split = StringSplit($local_av_version, ":")
$1 = $split[1]
$2 = $split[2]
$variable = $split[3]

Dim $sourcetwo[2]
$sourcetwo = StringSplit($variable, "Time")
$DAT_Version = $sourcetwo[1]
$b = $sourcetwo[2]

$DAT_Ver = StringStripWS($DAT_Version,$STR_STRIPALL)
MsgBox(0, 'The McAfee DAT Version is....', "Results = " & $DAT_Ver)

You could also do it like so:

$sString = ""
$sString &= "CommonShell Command Line Scanner Lite (VSCORE.15.5.0.3960)" & @LF
$sString &= "    Engine version: 5800.7501" & @LF
$sString &= "    DAT version:    8450.0" & @LF
$sString &= "    Time required:  15 milliseconds" & @LF

$aString = StringSplit($sString, @LF)
For $i = 1 To $aString[0]
    If StringInStr($aString[$i], "DAT Version:") Then $sDATVersion = StringStripWS(StringReplace($aString[$i], "DAT Version:", ""), 8)
Next
ConsoleWrite($sDATVersion & @CRLF)

Next
MsgBox(0,"", "DATVersion=" & $sDATVersion & @CRLF)

What is the "," for in your example? There is no "," in the example data to split at :huh:

or
 

#include <Array.au3>
$sString  = "    Engine version: 5800.7501" & @LF
$sString &= "    DAT version:    8450.0" & @LF
$sString &= "    Time required:  15 milliseconds" & @LF

$array1 = StringRegExp($sString,"DAT version:\s*(\d+\.?\d*)",1)
_ArrayDisplay($array1)

the regex reads:
"DAT version" then zero or more spaces then one or more digits then zero or one fullstop then zero or more digits
