New _ArraySearch

[theguy0000]

I am hoping for this to eventually replace the old _ArraySearch function....

It is a new _ArraySearch function with much more options.

Replacing your old version with my new version will of course not break any of your old scripts since I only added one optional parameter.

Anyways....it has a new parameter $iFlag

The old _ArraySearch only matches if the searchstring matches exactly the element, no option for partial matches. I added that, but still thought it was too limited. So, here you go:

$iFlag (Optional) = How to match the search string.

Possible Values:

0 - (Default) Exact match

1 - match at beginning of element

2 - match at end of element

3 - anywhere in element

4 - Regular Expression (if used, $iCaseSense is ignored)

Example:

(from the help file, just modified)

expandcollapse popup

#Include<Array.au3>
Dim $Array[6]
$Array[0] = "String0"
$Array[1] = "String1"
$Array[2] = "String2"
$Array[3] = "String3"
$Array[4] = "String4"
$Array[5] = "String5"

$Input = InputBox("ArraySearch Demo", "String To Find?")
$flag = Int(InputBox ("ArraySearch Demo", "Flag?"))
If @error Then Exit

$Pos = _ArraySearch ($Array, $Input, 0, 0, 0, $flag)
Select
    Case $Pos = -1
        MsgBox(0, "Not Found", '"' & $Input & '" was not found in the array.')
    Case Else
        MsgBox(0, "Found", '"' & $Input & '" was found in the array at pos ' & $Pos & ".")

It is very good. What about returning an optional array of matches (or an array of positions)?

Edit: I think @error should return 1 instead of 6 if $vWhat2Find is not found.

I like the new features. They should prove useful to many people. You should also credit yourself under the Author(s) being you added a significant amount of functinality. Would you mind if I merged this with my MultiDimensional _ArraySearch?

Hmm...I could definitely do the array thing...but as for the @error value, I want this to be able to replace people's _ArraySearch functions without breaking scripts that use the old version...

Thank you, and yes I forgot to put myself in the authors :"> thanks

[theguy0000]

@solidsnake....I just saw your second question...

And of course I wouldn't mind if you included it in your multi dim array search

[SmOke_N]

That sure does look familiar, down to the var names even.

it is of course only a modified version of the original. Notice I kept SolidSnake in the Author section.

Let us know when it's updated. This version of _ArraySearch is great as is your MultiDimensional search.
