How to loop over a list of names

[inna]

Hello,

I see For...In...Next help which is this:

Local $aArray[4]

$aArray[0] = "a"
$aArray[1] = 0
$aArray[2] = 1.3434
$aArray[3] = "test"

Local $sString = ""
For $vElement In $aArray
    $sString = $sString & $vElement & @CRLF
    ConsoleWrite($sString)
Next

But what I'm trying to reach (and failed yet) is:

; the number of items on list or array changes and is not fixed (I don't know the count)

$list = ['me', 'you', 'him']

for $i in $list
    ConsoleWrite($i & @LF)
Next

; the console should print:
;me
;you
;him

How can I reach this?

I have a list of names and I should iterate over.

Thanks in advance

Local $aArray[4]

$aArray[0] = "a"
$aArray[1] = 0
$aArray[2] = 1.3434
$aArray[3] = "test"

Local $sString = ""

For $x = 0 To UBound($aArray) - 1
    ConsoleWrite("$aArray[" & $x & "]=" & $aArray[$x] & @TAB)
Next

ConsoleWrite("" & @CRLF)

I got it:)

#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

Local $aDays = StringSplit('me, you, him', ',')
For $i = 1 To $aDays[0] ; Loop through the array returned by StringSplit to display the individual values.
    ConsoleWrite($aDays[$i])
Next

Thanks, but that's not what I meant.

Please compare my post to yours and compare the outputs.

I thought you had a problem because I couldn't figure it out

+>Setting Hotkeys...--> Press Ctrl+Alt+Break to Restart or Ctrl+BREAK to Stop.
a
a
0
a
0
1.3434
a
0
1.3434
test
+>20:27:53 AutoIt3.exe ended.rc:0

 

for this reason it is placed in a series so that it makes some sense

+>Setting Hotkeys...--> Press Ctrl+Alt+Break to Restart or Ctrl+BREAK to Stop.
$aArray[0]=a    $aArray[1]=0    $aArray[2]=1.3434   $aArray[3]=test 
+>20:35:35 AutoIt3.exe ended.rc:0

You have some syntax errors, which when you ran this the console should point you to the problem. Make sure that you read the errors that come up when you run your script. Here's the correct version:

Global $list[] = ['me', 'you', 'him']

For $i In $list
    ConsoleWrite($i & @LF)
Next

Mainly, you didn't initialize $list as an array with either $list[] = ['values'] or $list[3] (and with the scope, Global or Local).

However typically it's best to use For...To...Step...Next as you can then also get the index of the array. For...In...Next is best for objects or maps where there's not a sequential index.

This makes some sense

Local $aArray[4]

$aArray[0] = "a"
$aArray[1] = 0
$aArray[2] = 1.3434
$aArray[3] = "test"

Local $sString = ""
For $vElement In $aArray
    $sString = $sString & $vElement & @CRLF
;~     ConsoleWrite($sString)
Next

ConsoleWrite($sString)
