remove items from list

[BlazeLondon]

I have a script that reads a text file into an array, and then reads the text file into a list to display on screen.

You can select items in the list

but with the function

$ret = _GUICtrlListDeleteItem ($mylist, 1)

To remove an item, it removes just items from the top down.

I can't work out how on earth to remove the selected item from the list and the array.

Somehow I guess I need to know the name of the item selected or the number of it in the array...

Im stuck, maybe someone can help me?

Hey BIG THANK YOU!

I did that and that works fine!

I can now add and remove things from the list and array and write to text file.

However I got a piece of code from the examples on removing duplicates from an array which worked perfectly until I added the code to remove items. Now when you remove items the array dupe code gives an error.

Array variable has incorrect number of subscripts

I've attached the code....

If anyone can assist I would be extremely gratefull

your problem lies in this part:

$TempArray[0][0] = $InArray[0]
   For $x = 1 To $InArray[0]
      $TempArray[$x][0] = $InArray[$x]
      $TempArray[$x][1] = $x
   Next

$InArray[0] doesn't have the size of the array in it because you deleted index 0 at the beginning of the script

want to take it from there what is going to happen?

take a look at this

take a look at this

Im still not sure what has gone on...

And you say its a mistake at the top, but the code worked absolutely perfectly until I added the remove button code so I dont see how its a mistake anywhere else other than here because the remove dupes works perfectly if you dont press the remove button and run this beforehand =>

Case $msg = $removebutton

$ret = _GUICtrlListGetSelItemsText ($mylist)

If (Not IsArray($ret)) Then

MsgBox(16, "Error", "Unknown error from _GUICtrlListGetSelItemsText")

Else

For $i = 1 To $ret[0]

MsgBox(0, "Selected", $ret[$i])

Next

EndIf

$ret = _GUICtrlListSelectedIndex ($mylist)

MsgBox(16, "Error", $ret)

$aret=( $ret + 1 )

_ArrayDelete ( $folders, $aret )

_GUICtrlListDeleteItem($mylist, $ret)

by the way whatever you modified has re introduced a bug that i eliminated by ignoring value [0] of the array

now it puts numbers in the list on weird occasions where it has no string

5

c:\my folder

c:\temp

next time you run it

5

c:\my folder

c:\temp

God only knows why, i hate this about programming

I moved the line _Arraydelete out of the "remove" button and stuck it in the Function (SAVE) section instead and now it works perfectly.

Nothing else changed

How fucked up is that?
