Parsing A String Variable?

[Raestlin]

I have code that assigns a DOS output like:

Process Status Time Printer Balance User Address

2716 ACTIVE 15:41:35 0 0 chaney 172.17.100.198

3824 ACTIVE 15:42:27 0 1 administrator 172.17.100.198

*** 2 session(s) ***

to a string variable.

How can I then parse that string of all the above to grab the 2nd and 3rd line

and assign each piece (delimited by space or tab) to an array variable?

So, in other words, I would like the full string above to be processed into:

$line2[0] = 7, which is the number of pieces in line 2.

$line2[1] = "2716"

$line2[2] = "ACTIVE"

$line2[3] = "15:41:35"

...

$line2[7] = "172.17.100.198"

$line3[0] = 7, which is the number of pieces in line 3.

$line3[1] = "3824"

$line3[2] = "ACTIVE"

$line3[3] = "15:42:27"

...

$line2[7] = "172.17.100.198"

Didn't your installation come with the help file?

Take a look at the String management section. StringSplit and StringRegExp comes to mind

This should work:

#include <Array.au3>

$str = ClipGet()

$ret = StringSplit($str, @CRLF)
If IsArray($ret) Then
    For $line In $ret
        If $line <> "" Then
            $ret2 = StringSplit($line, " ")
            _ArrayDisplay($ret2, "")
        EndIf
    Next
EndIf

            $ret2 = StringSplit($line, " ")

EndIf

Thanks Neogia, that code helped me figure out my code perfectly.
