vocoder Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 so lets say i have a file called myfile_02272007_text.txt is there anyway to get the 02272007 part? basically i want to a scan a directory for any file that begins with myfile_ and ends with _text.txt - and then get the number in the middle....if the number in the middle is greater than the previous one i have saved, process it. but i have no idea how to do this, or if it is even possible?

Moderators SmOke_N Posted February 28, 2007 Moderators Share Posted February 28, 2007 Look at _PathSplit if you are getting the entire path... Then or look at _StringBetween(). Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer.

J_Y_C Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 stringsplit() would work very well also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators SmOke_N Posted February 28, 2007 Moderators Share Posted February 28, 2007 stringsplit() would work very well also.That would work yes... or even :$sString = 'myfile_02272007_text.txt' $aNum = StringRegExp($sString, '.*?(\d+)', 1) If IsArray($aNum) Then MsgBox(0, '', $aNum[0]) Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt...

MrCreatoR Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 (edited) Try this function: #include <Array.au3> $Ret = _StringStripNotNum('myfile_02272007_text.txt') MsgBox(0, "", $Ret) $RetArr = _StringStripNotNum('myfile_02272007_text.txt', 1) _ArrayDisplay($RetArr, "_StringStripNotNum Demo") Func _StringStripNotNum($String, $RetType=0) $String = StringRegExpReplace($String, '[^0-9]', '') If $RetType = 1 Then Return StringSplit ($String, "") Return $String EndFunc Edited February 28, 2007 by MsCreatoR Spoiler Using OS: Win 7 Professional, Using AutoIt Ver(s): 3.3.6.1 / 3.3.8.1 AutoIt Russian Community My Work...

WeMartiansAreFriendly Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 i would like too add to this ;Harder way $file = 'myfile_02272007_text.txt' $myfile = StringLeft($file,StringInStr($file,'_')) $number = StringTrimRight( StringMid($file,StringInStr($file,'_')+1), StringInStr($file,'_',-1) +2) $text = StringRight($file,StringInStr($file,'_')+2) msgbox(0,'Harder',$myfile&@LF&$number&@LF&$text) ;Easier way $file = 'myfile_02272007_text.txt' $split = StringSplit($file,'_') If Not @error Then msgbox(0,'Easy',$split[1]&'_' &@lf& $split[2] &@lf& '_'&$split[3]) Don't bother, It's inside your monitor!------GUISetOnEvent should behave more like HotKeySet() Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vocoder Posted March 2, 2007 Author Share Posted March 2, 2007 thanks. now what if I don't know the name of the file, other than my and text....so i will never know the number 02272007, is there a wildcard function or something $file = "my_*_text.txt"; ?
