Problems With Stringinstr

[eadthem]

ok first the program is supost to move to the top of a open wordpad document(works)

select a line of text (works)

make it all lower case (works)

strip spaces tabs enters (works)

then incrment tabcount everytime a starting html tag is found (finds some)

and de incrment evertime a ending html tag is found(finds some)

last tab over once for one in tabcount

it seams it find most tags that are at the begennign of a line

but it cannot find a tag if its at the end

example green found red couldtn find

<td>Tier5</td>

im using SciTE Version 1.68 i usest to use notepad for autoit but it makes it easer

and autoit v3.1.1

i chekced the beta and bug pages also looked at patch notes and i didnt see anything listed for thsi command of this nature

file sample im having it parse

<!--#include virtual="/headlm.ssi.htm" -->
<p><strong><font color="#ff0000"></font></strong></p>

<table>
<tr height="25">
<td colspan="1" rowspan="3" width="100">
<br>Tier5</td>
<td rowspan="1" colspan="8" id="skh" align="center" width="416">  Rebel Alliance Master Pilot<br>7500000 XP  box 18</td></tr><tr><td width="416">xp<br>single player</td><td width="76">skill sheet box<br>multi player</td><td width="167">xp<br></td><td width="100">skill

I tested this on your example, since there is no </table> in your example it returned 1:

You will need Beta to run it:

Local $h_DOWNLOADFILE = @DesktopDir & '\TXT_Files\testing.txt'
Local $tabcount = 0, $StartTags[5] = ['', '<table>', '<tr', '<td', '<font'], $EndTags[5] = ['', '</table>', '</tr>', '</td>', '</font>']

For $i_Count = 1 To UBound($StartTags) - 1
    $Test = _GetTagInfo($h_DOWNLOADFILE, $StartTags[$i_Count], $EndTags[$i_Count])
    If Not IsArray($Test) Then $tabcount = $tabcount + 1
Next

MsgBox(0, '', $tabcount)

Func _GetTagInfo($s_FilePath, $s_Start, $s_End)
    $h_FRead = FileRead($s_FilePath, FileGetSize($s_FilePath))
    $a_Array = StringRegExp($h_FRead, '(?:' & $s_Start & ')(.*?)(?:' & $s_End & ')', 3)
    If @error == 0 Then Return $a_Array
EndFunc

Edit:

Forgot to add in the MsgBox() So you can see

;$main = StringReplace ( $main, "<" , " <")
    if not 0 == StringInStr( $main, "<table", 0 , 1 ) Then
        $tabcount = $tabcount + 1
    endif

The part of your script above show you of this

Not 0

Not 0 is 1, so why not use 1? (*operator precedence)

StringInStr is a boolean type of function, so just using the below would do

if StringInStr( $main, "<table", 0 , 1 ) Then

and checking if not, then

if not StringInStr( $main, "<table", 0 , 1 ) Then

in binary thats true but from what i read in the help file the oprand StringInStr "helpfile on StringInStr"Success: Returns the position of the substring"" and only 0 if it finds nothing so

if not 0 means if it found anything for the quarry then incrment

the way i read it it outputs more than just true or false least thats why i wrote it that way if it can be made to put out a bool i would like to know how as it would symplfie things.

SmOke_N i will half to download beta and try it tomarow as 2 of the operans you used arnt even in my version

you did give me a idea i could make it work off of files and it would work lot faster

thanks

I use that method in my RSS_FEED functions, it's the quickest way to parse through them that I found.. neogia made a great example of how to use the StringRegExp... Although my example will work for you, if you wish to do string manipulation in the future I suggest you take a look at it for some great advice... gl .

[eadthem]

ok i found neogia's post

is it saying that it will work like stringInStr only it could tell if

</table  <!-- is in somthign like this -->

<br>fijwonaodjoj</table>dkjfljklsdf<br>

?

I don't think I understand your question... The script I posted will work... And it's shorter/faster (have it in a loop and just put the factors you were looking for in an array). The way I have it set up, it will look between those code tags, so If it's an array you could actually just do a for/next loop on $Text (ubound($test) - 1) and get the information between each tag... But I noticed you were just looking to see if it was a true statement, so I have it setup like I do.

StringInStr returns 0 on fail, but returns the position as an interger for success. A number that is Not 0 is boolean true. 0 is boolean false.

Example

If StringInStr('test', 't') Then MsgBox(0, 'Is t in test?', 'true')
If Not StringInStr('test', 't') Then MsgBox(0, 'Is t in test?', 'false')

If StringInStr('test', 'o') Then MsgBox(0, 'Is o in test?', 'true')
If Not StringInStr('test', 'o') Then MsgBox(0, 'Is o in test?', 'false')

[eadthem]

A number that is Not 0 is boolean true. 0 is boolean false.

ok i knew about 0 =false and 1=true didnt know that anythign other than 1 is also = to true

SmOke_N i was askign about the commands capabltys as Stringinstr did not alwase work as i needed

i was asking if it would beable to find stuff inside other text as Stringinstr was having problems finding tags at the end of a line

im gona get beta and work on it some more now that i got some sleep

If I remember correctly, I had issues with code tags at one time using StringInStr() also... but the StringRegExp() seems to handle them quite nicely.
