xcaliber13 Posted September 17, 2020 Posted September 17, 2020 hey guys I just cannot seem to figure out how to get this done. I have a text file within that text file I have records. Each record starts with 01|A. Example: 01|A|Data|Data 02|A|Data|Data 01|A|Data|Data <-- Start of new record 02|A|Data|Data 01|A|Data|Data <-- Start of new record 02|A|Data|Data 02|A|Data|Data 02|A|Data|Data 01|A|Data|Data <-- Start of new record 02|A|Data|Data So what I am trying to do is to get the file to look like this: 01|A|Data|Data 02|A|Data|Data 01|A|Data|Data 02|A|Data|Data 01|A|Data|Data 02|A|Data|Data 02|A|Data|Data 02|A|Data|Data 01|A|Data|Data 02|A|Data|Data Were I am having the issue is when there is more the one(1) line that begins with 02|A|Data|Data. I can only get the first 02|A|Data|Data to move to the same line with the 01|A|Data|Data So I am just trying to get each record on a single line. Here is what I have tried _FileReadToArray("C:\Temp\temp.txt", $aResults, $FRTA_NOCOUNT) Local $aFinalResults[UBound($aResults)] For $i = 0 to UBound($aResults) -1 If StringLeft($aResults[$i], 4) = "01|A" Then $aFinalResults[$i] = $aResults[$i] & " " & $aResults[$i+1] EndIf Next _ArrayDisplay($aFinalResults) _FileWriteFromArray("C:\Temp\temp1.txt", $aFinalResults) I have also tried with a While Wend loop but I am getting the same results. Just the first 02|A|Data|Data line gets moved to the 01|A|Data|Data line. Can someone point me in the right direction to get this working correctly?
jchd Posted September 17, 2020 Posted September 17, 2020 Local $sIn = FileRead("C:\Temp\temp.txt") Local $sOut = StringRegExpReplace($sIn, "\R(?=02)", "") ConsoleWrite($sOut & @LF) This wonderful site allows debugging and testing regular expressions (many flavors available).
