Strip everything after X

[blizzedout]

Ok well i have a script that copys a bunch of text but I need the first part of the text but not the second, is there any way to like make it remove everything after "__________" and keep the first half?

Send("^c")
Global $title = ClipGet()

$array = StringSplit ($title, "__________" )

Msgbox(0,"The text you want is:",$array[1])

No?

[blizzedout]

$array = StringSplit ($title, "__________" )

Msgbox(0,"The text you want is:",$array[1])

No?

That will be fine let me test it, thanks man.

$array = StringSplit ($title, "__________" )

Msgbox(0,"The text you want is:",$array[1])

No?

I like this way alot personally, and use it alot, here is another alternative also:

ClipPut('ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789')
MsgBox(0, '', _StripClipContent('M'))

Func _StripClipContent($vFind, $iCaseSensitive = 1, $sReturnBeforeAfter = 0)
    Local $vClipGet = ClipGet()
    If Not $sReturnBeforeAfter Then
        Return StringLeft($vClipGet, StringInStr($vClipGet, $vFind, $iCaseSensitive) -1 ); if $sReturnBeforeAfter = 0 returns string before the string to find
    Else
        StringMid($vClipGet, StringInStr($vClipGet, $vFind, $iCaseSensitive) + 1); returns the string after the string to find
    EndIf
EndFunc

Ok works fine Thank you very much

Send("^c")
$content_dirty = StringSplit (ClipGet(), "_________________")
Global $content = $content_dirty[1]

Ok well they both work very well (thanks, oh and kandie introduced me to StringSplit so thanks), but I am going to have to use this method multiple times. But I am going to use SmOke_N's

Thank you very much, ill be back in a month to ask another question

Hi,

isn't there the second return missing???

Return StringMid($vClipGet, StringInStr($vClipGet, $vFind, $iCaseSensitive) + 1)

So long,
