string compare

[roofninja]

This is part of a program and this is the only part that does not work. I have been searching for days and trying different things but I can't seem to figure it out. What am I don't wrong? Why can't I compare $pcmodel in the if statement? Thanks for any help.

CODE

$count = 0

RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & "systeminfo >sysinfo.txt")

$file = FileOpen("sysinfo.txt", 0)

; Check if file opened for reading OK

If $file = -1 Then

MsgBox(0, "Error", "Unable to open file.")

Exit

EndIf

; Read in lines of text until the EOF is reached or line 26 is reached.

While 1

$line = FileReadLine($file)

$count=$count+1

If @error = -1 or $count=26 Then ExitLoop

$line = String($line)

$line = StringSplit($line, ":")

if $count=14 then ;model

$pcmodel = StringTrimLeft($line[2], (23))

endif

Wend

FileClose($file)

;$pcmodel = "D505" --this works

;$pcmodel = "GX110" --this does not work Why?

;this if does not work now.

if $pcmodel = "GX110" or $pcmodel = "GX150" or $pcmodel = "GX1" then

$cputype = " PentiumIII Processor" ;test output

;$cputype = RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{50127DC3-0F36-415E-A6CC-4CB3BE910B65}000", "DriverDesc")

$cputype = String($cputype)

$len = StringLen($cputype)

$cputype = StringTrimLeft($cputype, ($len-20))

else

$cputype = " Intel® Pentium® 4 CPU 2.80GHz" ;test output

;$cputype = RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DESCRIPTION\System\CentralProcessor", "ProcessorNameString")

$cputype = String($cputype)

$len = StringLen($cputype)

$result = StringInStr($cputype,"P",0,1)

$cputype = StringTrimLeft($cputype, ($len-$result))

endif

MsgBox(0, "Line read:", "PC MODEL:"&$pcmodel&".")

MsgBox(0, "CPUTYPE:", "your cpu is:"&$cputype&".")

Well, I haven't tried your code or anything, but just as a matter of coding habit, I always use == for checking things in If statements. In AutoIt, either will work, with = not caring about case with strings, and == being case sensitive. I'd suggest trying that. If that doesn't work, I'm out of ideas at the moment.

if ($pcmodel == "GX110") or ($pcmodel == "GX150") or ($pcmodel == "GX1") then

try that

[roofninja]

I did not know about using ==. I did just try it and it did not work. Does anybody have a different way of doing this?

[Shevilie]

Try running this solo script

$pcmodel = "GX110"

If ($pcmodel == "GX110") Or ($pcmodel == "GX150") Or ($pcmodel == "GX1") Then
    MsgBox(0,0,"Worked")
EndIf

[roofninja]

Try running this solo script

$pcmodel = "GX110"

If ($pcmodel == "GX110") Or ($pcmodel == "GX150") Or ($pcmodel == "GX1") Then
    MsgBox(0,0,"Worked")
EndIf

I have tried that. That was the next thing that I tried. It does work that way, but it does not work when I run it through the first part of the script. That is a mystery to me. It still is a mystery to me. How else am I going to find and determine what the CPU is? I need to know if it is a P2, P3, P4, celeron, or a PM, etc. On the systems that I am using that information is located in different places. I have determined that the first three get there info from the same place and everything else is somewhere else. Is there a command line program that will get it?

I think your problem is $pcmodel = StringTrimLeft($line[2], (23))

You might have a @crlf or a space or something here Try echo it out like this MsgBox(0,0,"-" & $pcmodel & "-")

Else try this

$count = 0

RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & "systeminfo >sysinfo.txt")

$file = FileOpen("sysinfo.txt", 0)

; Check if file opened for reading OK
If $file = -1 Then
MsgBox(0, "Error", "Unable to open file.")
Exit
EndIf

; Read in lines of text until the EOF is reached or line 26 is reached.
While 1
$line = FileReadLine($file)
$count=$count+1
If @error = -1 or $count=26 Then ExitLoop
$line = String($line)
$line = StringSplit($line, ":")
if $count=14 then ;model
$pcmodel = StringTrimLeft($line[2], (23))
endif
Wend

FileClose($file)

If ($pcmodel == "GX110") Or ($pcmodel == "GX150") Or ($pcmodel == "GX1") Then
    MsgBox(0,0,"Worked")
Else
   MsgBox(0,0,"-" & $pcmodel & "-")
   MsgBox(0,0,StringLen($pcmodel))
EndIf

Thanks for your suggestion. That was it. I had trailing spaces that I did not notice.

On an different note. After thinking and searching, I found a solution that turns out to be better. I do use an external program but it works better than I thought it would. Thanks anyway. I really appreciate your help.
