Guest Ancient Orange Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 Hi there! I was wondering if anyone could help me with my little Problem here. i have got a text file which contains a string seperated by a : followed by a number. here is a small extraction ... a:10 b:31 c:23 sfadsdf:12 ... is there a way to extract the number behind the : and alter its value? the purpose is to count down the numbers. The script is supposed to run once a day and reduce all numbers by one i started working on it this is how far i got: Func Start() $monitorf = FileOpen("C:\ca40\monitoring.txt", 0) Global $HM Global $aArray Global $sFilePath Global $sFilePath2 $sFilePath = "C:\ca40\monitoring.txt" $sFilePath2 = "C:\ca40\monitoring.txt" $HM = _FileCountLines( $sFilePath ) Msgbox (0, "",$HM) Read() EndFunc Func Read() $i = 0 While $i < $HM $line = FileReadLine($sFilePath, 0) $array = StringSplit( FileReadLine( $line ), ":" ) msgbox(0, "line",$line) msgbox(0, "",($array[2])) Wend EndFuncwhen i run the script i get the error that the array exceeds it's limits or something like that.

sugi Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 $line = FileReadLine($sFilePath, 0) $array = StringSplit( FileReadLine( $line ), ":" ) FileReadLine requires a filename and optionally the line number. You're giving it a string containing the first line. Try this (untested): $linenumber = 1 $line = FileReadLine( $sFilePath, $linenumber ) if @error Then Exit; we've reached the end of the file or the file could not be opened $array = StringSplit( $line , ":" ) This should give you an array: $array[1] = 'a' $array[2] = 10 Just increase $linenumber to get the next lines. See the help for FileReadLine for further details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
