2 questions: cmd line limit, directory junction loops

[woof]

Hello,

again: I take source code from post #18 here, save, double click, mark three files in explorer, drag and drop into edit form of the script window.

In edit form only one filename is listed, I close the window and get a popup, where also only one filename is in array, and this filename is shorten by one on the right.

I get no more than one filename in array, I get no @LF at the end of the only line I have.

If this works for you, why not for me? Have you tested your own code? What OS (mine is Win2000)?

Regards,

Thorsten

Addition: When I drop a second time, the first entry is replaced, only editing by hand leaves more than one filename/line in edit form.

Yes it works for me. Yes I tested my own code. My OS: WinXP - AutoIt 3.1.1.124 (Beta)

Maybe you should use a List control and not an Edit control. It could we a better use in your program.

Sample:

#include <Array.au3>
#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#Include <GuiList.au3>

$Form1 = GUICreate("Drop files in me", 620, 440, -1, -1, -1, $WS_EX_ACCEPTFILES)
$List=GUICtrlCreateList("",10, 10, 600, 400)
GUICtrlSetState($List, $GUI_ACCEPTFILES)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
        Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            ExitLoop
        Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_DROPPED 
            _GUICtrlListAddItem($List, @GUI_DRAGFILE)
        Case Else
       ;;;;;;;
    EndSelect
WEnd

Mutiple files does not work. (don't know why)

Before the _GUICtrlListAddItem command you could implement your FileGetAttrib and subdir search routines.

Hello,

I strongly believe that is a bug. Because as I now updated to latest beta your former code (using edit form) now does as it should. So for that obviously the 3.1.1 is buggy ;-)

To confirm to you: For me the list example also does not do multiple files...

Hello,

after I was successful this way (after updating to latest beta version) I just want to add the solution to other problems of this code (in post #18). Replace

$cmdFilesArray = StringSplit(StringTrimRight(GUICtrlRead($Edit1), 1), @LF)

with this

$tmp = StringStripWS(StringStripCR(GUICtrlRead($Edit1)),2)
If StringInStr($tmp,@LF) Then
   $cmdFilesArray = StringSplit($tmp,@LF)
Else
   _ArrayAdd($cmdFilesArray,$tmp)
EndIf

On my system the dropped filelist included linebreak as @CRLF, so @CR must also be removed. And I think instead of just removing one char on the right using StringStripWS($String,2) is more safe. The biggest problem is that StringSplit() does not return a one-element-array if no splitter is in string. Why?

The sample in post #18 was just quick and dirty. Trim just a character is of course not save.

The biggest problem is that StringSplit() does not return a one-element-array if no splitter is in string. Why?

Why? Choise of a developer. From the help file:

StringSplit is very useful as an alternative to StringInStr and as a means to populate an array.

I think StringSplit can only do it's work if a delimiter is found.

To solve your 'problem' just add a delimiter at the end of the string and remove the last arrayvalue (always empty)

Every line in an edit control ends with CRLF which are 2 characters. To get a clean result I replaced them with the single pipe character: |

StringSplit does also split on a single character.

#include <Array.au3>
#include <GUIConstants.au3>

$Form1 = GUICreate("Drop files in me", 620, 440, -1, -1, -1, $WS_EX_ACCEPTFILES)
$Edit1 = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 10, 10, 600, 400)
GUICtrlSetState($Edit1, $GUI_ACCEPTFILES)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
        Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            ExitLoop
        Case Else
      ;;;;;;;
    EndSelect
WEnd

$cmdFilesArray = StringSplit(StringReplace(StringReplace(GUICtrlRead($Edit1), @CRLF, "|") & "|", "||", "|"), "|")
_ArrayPop($cmdFilesArray)
$cmdFilesArray[0] -= 1

_ArrayDisplay($cmdFilesArray, "Here they are")
Exit
