StringSplit?

[TheDcoder]

Or you can do it like this:

StringReplace($sParagraph, "Reference Word", @CRLF)

Anything is possible, but it depends on how tricky you want to get and what you are using it for .... ultimate aim etc.

StringSplit as has been mentioned, is a good starting point ... StringReplace too.

However, would you like a fairly even split? Do you want to preserve sentences or words?

StringLen could also be helpful, divided by 2 and using the Round (or related) commands. StringInstr is another useful command.

And of course you can combine a bunch of those commands above together.

If you are having trouble, give us an example of the sort of text (paragraphs)  you want to split, and we can provide coded solutions for you. We also like it if you show the code you have tried.

and the char you want to split on.  If you gave us more on your overall project we may have some suggestions.

Hi all,

i have a text document which has 5 paras as given below. Attached sample text file for reference,
 

#   Name   Score
1   ssss   10
2   aaaa   20
3   hhhh   30
4   qqqq   40
<5>1 wwww   50
<6>2 ffff   60
<7>3 qqqq   10
<8>4 rrrr   20
<9>5 yyyy   30
<10>6 nnnn   40
<11>7 llll   90
<12>7 iiii   80

the above para needs to be divided into two paras 1) without "<>" 2) with "<>"
so post split it should be like
para1:
1   ssss   10
2   aaaa   20
3   hhhh   30
4   qqqq   40

Para2:
<5>1 wwww   50
<6>2 ffff   60
<7>3 qqqq   10
<8>4 rrrr   20
<9>5 yyyy   30
<10>6 nnnn   40
<11>7 llll   90
<12>7 iiii   80

Again in these paras i need to perform serach operations.
So here "<" should be the char which needs to be used to split on.
Before all these i need the divide all these 5 paras usng  "    " (Empty split).
in this i have to select  "#" of specific people who's score is >=60 which is further part of my project.
 

Now my doubts are
1) Is it good to use autoit for my requirement??
if no can u suggest any other scripting language??
I am using autoit because i found it as best to use for notepad automation on google.
i possible will post some of my code which wrote.

Thanks in advance,
Sree161.

Hi all,

i tried the below script and got empty output. can i know where i went wrong???

#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>
#include <StringConstants.au3>

$File = "C:\Users\location\sample.txt"
$Open = FileOpen($File, 0)
$Read = FileRead($Open)
$Split = StringSplit ( $Read , "<" ,$STR_ENTIRESPLIT)
MsgBox ( $MB_OK, "Output", $Split )

[ripdad]

$Split is an array.

Insert:at the top of script:
#include "array.au3"

and view the array like this:
_ArrayDisplay($Split)

#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>
#include <StringConstants.au3>

$File = "C:\Users\dsreekan\Desktop\P2\OTA3058\sample.txt"
$Open = FileOpen($File, 0)
$Read = FileRead($Open)

$Sp = StringSplit ( $Read , "<6>" ,$STR_ENTIRESPLIT )
For $i = 1 To $Sp[0]
MsgBox ( $MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Output", "$Sp[" & $i & "] - " & $Sp[$i] )
Next

 

i did in this way and got the output right.

i want to split paragraphs with empty lines as character to split.
How can i do this??

StringSplit ( $Read , "      " ,$STR_ENTIRESPLIT )

this didn't work

[Belini]

If it is to stay as in the example you posted can use so:

#include <File.au3>

$file = @ScriptDir & "\TEST.txt"
$lines = _FileCountLines($file)
If $lines > 0 Then
    For $i = 1 To $lines
        $read = FileReadLine($file, $i)
        If StringInStr($read, "<") Then
            _FileWriteToLine($file, $i, " ", 0)
            ExitLoop
        EndIf
    Next
EndIf

or like this

$file = @ScriptDir & "\TEST.txt"
$read = FileRead($file)
If StringInStr($read, "<") Then
    FileDelete($file)
    FileWrite($file, StringReplace($read, "<", @CRLF & "<", 1))
EndIf

If each of your lines has a carriage return or line feed, you would probably be better splitting on that character.

i.e. the following will do that automatically.

$array = FileReadToArray($File)

or do your FileOpen and FileRead and then use something like the following with that.

$Sp = StringSplit($Read , @CRLF , 1)

From there you can use more StringSplit and or StringInstr commands inside of loops ... or even RegEx etc.
