Parse a Text File

[Agent Orange]

Ok, I have a text file that might have more than one entry that I need to save in a variable(s). The information I need is in the middle of the line(s) and is not always the same text. Here is a sample of the text batch file I need to read.

@ECHO OFF

IF not Exist z:\capture.exe GOTO END

CLS

Echo Printer Setup...

Z:\CAPTURE L=1 Q=.ir-lj4-b04.context.sa /TI=10 /NB /NFF /NT

Z:\CAPTURE L=2 Q=.ir-lj5-b10.context2.sa /TI=10 /NB /NFF /NT

:END

EXIT

Notice that in this file example there are two capture statements. I need to read this file and assign the data between the q= and /TI entry on both lines to variables.

So in this case .ir-lj4-b04.context.sa and .ir-lj5-b10.context2.sa are what I need.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

$content=Fileread("test.txt")
$nOffset = 1
While 1
    $array = StringRegExp($content, '(?i)Q=(.*?) /TI=', 1, $nOffset)
    
    If @error = 0 Then
        $nOffset = @extended
    Else
        ExitLoop
    EndIf
    for $i = 0 to UBound($array) - 1
        msgbox(0, "RegExp Test with Option 1 - " & $i, $array[$i])
    Next
WEnd

Not perfect but try this also:

#include <Array.au3>

#include <File.AU3>

$Txt_File="Batch.txt"

Dim $File_Array

_FileReadToArray(@ScriptDir & "\" & $Txt_File,$File_Array)

;_ArrayDisplay($File_Array,"")

For $x=1 to $File_Array[0]

$Q_String=StringInStr($File_Array[$x],"Q=")

$TI_String=StringInStr($File_Array[$x],"/TI")

If $Q_String<>0 and $TI_String<>0 then

$String_Array=StringSplit($File_Array[$x]," ")

;_ArrayDisplay($String_Array,"")

MsgBox(4096,"",$String_Array[3] & @CRLF & $String_Array[4])

EndIf

Next

This is very close to what I want. However, it can't get it to assign a new array value, $i, for each entry. If I run this, even the AutoIT example, the value of $i is always zero. How can I get it to add one on each time without an error?

Thanks

Just create your own array and add all found instances to it at the point where the MSGBOX is located... shouldn't be too hard Edited April 16, 2007 by JdeB
