String Removal Of Comma

[coolbone]

Hi,

I'm slightly new to AutoIt, though I've used it for several applications, I have come to a problem.

Is there a simple way to take a string "123,456,789" and have it remove the commas and return "123456789"?

It seems it shouldn't be that hard. There's the carriage return removal, but no simple comma remove or even replace.

Thanks

HI,

have a look at StringReplace() and replace "," with ""

So long,

Just to further clarify:

StringReplace("123,456,789",",","")

Thanks, for some reason my brain just didn't make the connection :-P. Much appreciated.

StringReplace() is definately the way to go here, but if the delimeter is ever different than a comma, and you only want a "Digit" return and don't know what the delimeter is, you could use something like this

$String = '123,456,789'
$Return = _Return_Digits($String)
MsgBox(0, 'Return', $Return)

Func _Return_Digits($s_String)
    Local $iOutput = ''
    For $xcount = 1 To StringLen($s_String)
        $sMid = StringMid($s_String, $xcount, 1)
        If StringIsDigit($sMid) Then $iOutput &= $sMid
    Next
    If $iOutput <> '' Then Return $iOutput
    Return 0
EndFunc

SmOke_N, What do you have against StringRegExp?

Global $string = '123,456,789', $finalstring
$temparray = StringRegExp($string, '([:digit:]*)',3)
For $i = 0 to (Ubound($temparray)-1)
$finalstring = $finalstring&$temparray[$i]
Next
Msgbox(0,"Final String",$finalstring)

Nothing at all, that's another way of doing it, in fact, yours is probably much faster, but again, StringReplace() would be a better option if the delimeter is known IMHO.

Oh yea.. StringReplace is the solution for him. I was just messing with ya.

Yours looks like it took a lot more thinking to make then mine anyway

Nah, took about 30 seconds... helps when you play with strings all the time

StringRegExp is my new favorite toy. I dont know how I lived without it before.

I agree, I still use the others, but when I have a large file I'm parsing, I only use that (along with some other string functions) to get my desired result. I'm not biast, I use whatever gets the job done the fastest with the best result

HI,

so SmOke_N would you mind posting some of your additional string func. I always like it as easy as it can be and still don't know why some string func existing in other languages haven't found the way into Autoit standard.

Like StringBetween() ...

I knew, everybody can write that hisself, but why?

I meant the String Functions that are in the help file th.meger. Haven't found a need to manipulate outside of those yet.
