_FileListToArray Directory Issue

[aa2zz6]

 

I am trying to look in a directory with text files stored with materials and find out how many have the searched gas component defined as $searchWord. 

When I use this the file has to be inside the folder with the documents but once I move it outside the script it give me an error

$aFileList = _FileListToArray(@ScriptDir, "*.txt")

Error

error: syntax error
    $aFileList = _FileListToArray(@ScriptDir, &
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^

 

#include <File.au3>
#include <Array.au3>
Global $searchWord = "Inline Valves" ; Find Dimp Item
Global $read ; Reads each txt file

Readtxt()

Func Readtxt()
    $aFileList = _FileListToArray(@ScriptDir & "\Documents\" & "*.txt")
    If @error = 1 Then
        MsgBox(0, "", "No Files\Folders Found.")
        Exit
    EndIf

    Local $aFileStrings[$aFileList[0] + 1][2] = [[$aFileList[0]]]

    For $i = 1 To $aFileList[0]
        ; Add file name to [n][0] element
        $aFileStrings[$i][0] = $aFileList[$i]
        ; Read file content
        $sFile = FileRead(@ScriptDir & "\" & $aFileList[$i])
        ; Add file content to [n][1] element
        $aFileStrings[$i][1] = $sFile
        ConsoleWrite($aFileStrings[$i][1])
        $read = FileRead($aFileList[$i])
        If StringRegExp($read, $searchWord) Then
            MsgBox(0, "Dimp Item", "Match")
            ExitLoop
        Else
            ;MsgBox(0, "Dimp Item", "No match") ; Certain documents will not have the same installed components
        EndIf
    Next
    _ArrayDisplay($aFileStrings)
EndFunc   ;==>Readtxt

Adding the directory will enable the @error

If @error = 1 Then
    MsgBox(0, "", "No Files\Folders Found.")
    Exit
EndIf

Why do you have an ampersand in your code above?

The first parameter should be a folder, the second parameter the filter.

$aFileList = _FileListToArray(@ScriptDir & "\Documents\" & "*.txt")

It should be

$aFileList = _FileListToArray(@ScriptDir & "\Documents\", "*.txt")

Thank you. I didn't realize this.
