StringSplit Input and insert into Loop

[chrisgreece]

For some years now i have been browsing the forums as a novice, finding useful advises for almost everything and because of that i created code that made my work in office A LOT EASIER and faster!

I have to thank for that all the active members  who help us with their knowledge and make us better in coding!

The reason i write is because i am having troubles with trying to get some information from an input , stringsplit it with a character "-" and then pass the info the a guictrlmessage in my function. More specifically

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <EditConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <GUIDateTimePicker.au3>
#include <string.au3>
#include <Array.au3>
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

$Form1 = GUICreate("Form", 800, 500, 210, 124)

$input= GUICtrlCreateInput("Input",100,100,200,200)
$button= GUICtrlCreateButton("Button" ,299,299,50,50,$WS_Group)

$input = StringSplit($input, "-")

    Case $button
                For $i = 0 to ($input) -1 "I have tried also to Ubound with no luck. Basically i have tried many things i just cant get a grasp of it"
       ShellExecute("notepad.exe")
        Local $hWnd = WinWait("[CLASS:Notepad]", "", 3)
         ControlSetText($hWnd, "", "", $input[$i])
       send (Guictrlread($aArray))
       WinClose($hWnd)
       Send ("{right}{enter}")
       next

What i basically want is to loop the whole procedure as many times as there is something in the input
If the input has aaa-bbb-ccc i want it to make 3 loops, run notepad write this aaa then close then again bbb- and finally the ccc and then go on on what i have put afterwards ( this is just an example so i can grasp the idea how this thing works so i can implement it somewhere more complex)

Try

For $i = 1 To $input[0]

Or

For $i = 1 To Ubound($Input) - 1

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $msg
Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            EXit



            Case $button
               For $i = 1 To $input[0]
                  ShellExecute("notepad.exe")
        Local $hWnd = WinWait("[CLASS:Notepad]", "", 3)
         ControlSetText($hWnd, "", "", $input[$i])
       send (Guictrlread($input[i]))
       WinClose($hWnd)
       Send ("{right}{enter}")

it returns error

"C:\Users\Chris Meli\Desktop\install\test arrays.au3" (31) : ==> Unknown function name.:

Just re-read your code it should be something like:

#include <Array.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

Example()

Func Example()
    Local $aInput
    GUICreate("Example", 320, 120)
    Local $idInput = GUICtrlCreateInput("aa-bbb-cccc-dddd", 10, 5, 300, 20)
    Local $idBtn = GUICtrlCreateButton("Ok", 40, 75, 60, 20)

    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

    While 1
        Switch GUIGetMsg()
            Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                ExitLoop
            Case $idBtn
                $aInput = StringSplit(GUICtrlRead($idInput), "-")
                _ArrayDisplay($aInput)
                For $i = 1 To $aInput[0]
                    MsgBox(4096, "Using $aInput[0]", $aInput[$i])
                Next
                For $i = 1 To UBound($aInput) - 1
                    MsgBox(4096, "Using Ubound", $aInput[$i])
                Next
        EndSwitch
    WEnd
EndFunc

and if i remove $i from there it opens notepad and writes "03" i guess its a way of telling me that i am doing something wrong!

Thank you so much for helping me out! Truly i am really grateful, you just saved me like five hours a week for sure or even more & helped me finally understand that i  should had put GuiCtrlread in Stringsplit! THANKS MAN!
