What's wrong with my StringSplit?

[leuce]

G'day everyone

I have a file named enname.txt in the same directory as the script, and that file contains five lines of text containing one or two words per line. The line breaks are @CRLFs. I'm trying to populate an array with those lines, but I keep getting the "no delimiters found" error.

$enname1 = FileOpen (@ScriptDir & "\enname.txt", 0)
$enname2 = StringSplit ($enname1, @CRLF, 1)
MsgBox (0, "", $enname2[0], 10)
Exit

And the message box says "1", which means "no delimiters found". I've tried @CRLF in quotes, and I've tried setting the delimiter size to 1 instead of 0, but no luck. I've also tried other delimiters (and I tried putting everything in enname.txt on a single line too).

Any ideas?

Thanks

Samuel

I'm trying to populate an array with those lines, but I keep getting the "no delimiters found" error.

Then, use _FileReadToArray()

Then, use _FileReadToArray()

Thanks... so... what does "ByRef" mean (in the helpfile in the _FileReadToArray() entry)? I can't get the array to populate with:

#include <file.au3>
Dim $enname2
_FileReadToArray(@ScriptDir & "\enname.txt", $enname2)
MsgBox (0, "", $enname2[0], 10)
Exit

Thanks

Use beta

Try this (change "yourfile.txt")

Dim $file = "yourfile.txt"

$fileread = FileRead($file)
$filesplit = StringSplit($fileread, @CRLF)

MsgBox(0, "", "your array has " & $filesplit[0] & " entries")

For $i = 1 To $filesplit[0] Step 2 ;skip the @crlf entries
    MsgBox(0, "", "$filesplit[" & $i & "] is " & '"' & $filesplit[$i] & '"')
Next

Try this (change "yourfile.txt")

Thanks... there were some bugs in your script, but I could figure them out easily, and it helps.

Dim $file = @ScriptDir & "\enname.txt"

$fileread = FileRead($file, FileGetSize($file))
$filesplit = StringSplit($fileread, @CRLF, 1)

MsgBox(0, "", "your array has " & $filesplit[0] & " entries")

For $i = 1 To $filesplit[0] 
    MsgBox(0, "", "$filesplit[" & $i & "] is " & '"' & $filesplit[$i] & '"')
Next

However, since I'm only going to use this script once ever, and since I know how many lines the file has, I might also use FileReadLine with each loop (later the script) instead of populating an array.

Thanks everyone!

There weren't any bugs on my script for my test... maybe for your use.

FileGetSize($file) doesn't make sense. Default is read the whole file, and FileGetSize returns the file size.

@ScriptDir & "\enname.txt" isn't necessary, since the script will check the same folder by default.

The loop was just to show you where your lines were in the array.
