removing some text from a string


 Share

Recommended Posts

hi guys - ive got this script im writing that checks logs and then emails them to the helpdesk etc - but for some reason the the first part of the log shows ok in the email but the last section doesnt put in the @CRLF - each line just carries on from where the last one left off

so what i was wondering is there a way of removing some of the text cause i think that may be hampering it

[01/19/2006-20:15:54 ,0,0,0,0,0,2,0,0,0] Job No....................... 2

i was wanting to remove the bolded part of text - i found stringmid but that extracts that part and removes the rest which is what i want to keep

any ideas ?

$s_line = "[01/19/2006-20:15:54 ,0,0,0,0,0,2,0,0,0] Job No....................... 2"

$s_newline = StringReplace($s_line,StringMid($s_line,21,19),"")

MsgBox(0,"test","Before: " & $s_line & @LF & "After  : " & $s_newline)

$s_newline = StringReplace($s_line,StringMid($s_line,21,19),"")

MsgBox(0,"test","Before: " & $s_line & @LF & "After  : " & $s_newline)

the only issue is that the text may change from time to time. ie just check 2 logs the ,0,0,0,0,0,2,0,0,0 has changed from ,0,0,0,0,0,2,1,0,0

As long as the characters are the same length, gary's solution will work.

Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer.

GaFrost is just showing you an example of how it can be done. The actual coding is up to you.

Local $s_newline
Local $s_line = "[01/19/2006-20:15:54 ,0,0,0,0,0,2,0,0,0] Job No....................... 2"
_StripIt($s_line, $s_newline, 21, 19)
MsgBox(0, "test", "Before: " & $s_line & @LF & "After  : " & $s_newline)

$s_line = "[01/19/2006-20:15:54 ,0,0,0,0,0,2,1,0,0] Job No....................... 2"
_StripIt($s_line, $s_newline, 21, 19)
MsgBox(0, "test", "Before: " & $s_line & @LF & "After  : " & $s_newline)

Func _StripIt(ByRef $s_old, ByRef $s_new, $start, $len)
   $s_new = StringReplace($s_old, StringMid($s_old, $start, $len), "")
EndFunc ;==>_StripIt

[01/20/2006-03:28:50] Backup Operation Incomplete.

1

this is the code im using now. - ive found that i needed to put this line in "$backup1 = StringStripCR ($backup[$x])" so the emails i get are formated correctly... also the spacing at the end of the filewriteline are for the same reason

_FileReadToArray($latest ,$backup)
For $x = 1 to $backup[0]
    $backup1 = StringStripCR ($backup[$x])
    $backup2 = StringReplace($backup1,StringMid($backup1,21,19),"")
    FileWriteLine( @ScriptDir & "\checks.txt", $backup2 & "   ")
Next

any ideas on the newly aquired 1 on the end of blank lines
