jero1987 0 Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 I have a text file that i want to remove all spaces between words and replace them with carriage returns. second I want to take each word after i have replaced the spaces and set it to a single variable that i can compare to. Like a word comparison, for example.... something along the lines of.... $wordvar = (word read in from text file) and then add code here to check it against another variable.... then add code here to set $wordvar to the next word in the text file.... Thanks alot guys.... James Link to post Share on other sites
Bert 1,448 Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 (edited) StringAddCR should do what you need for the first part. StringRegExp should do the second part Edited April 26, 2007 by Volly The Vollatran project My blog: http://www.vollysinterestingshit.com/ Link to post Share on other sites
someone 7 Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 You'll want to check out StringSplit , that will allow you to split a body of text at ever space. As for your second question, I'm a little confused so I might be wrong but when you do a stringsplit it will put every word into an array, and you can compare every word against something else, ie $avarray[1]... $avarray[2]...

OK ill try to put it in less confusing terms lol.... ok i have a list of words now... word1 word2 word3 etc... now what i want to do is read in word1 and see if it matches a specific variable.... like $var1 = "word1" $var2 = "word3" I need a loop to set var1 to word1, then compare to $var2 and then set it to word2 and then compare etc...

We are programmers and we need clear instructions. Let's see where you started off first. For example, let's say your file is called "cookie.txt", as you didn't provide a filename. $Read = FileRead("cookie.txt") If $Read = '' Then Exit $Word = StringSplit(StringStripWS($Read,4),"") For $x = 1 To $Word[0] ; $Word[$x] contains the word.

I was trying to give you my problem.... I have a text file with a word list. I need to read this word list into audoit one word at a time. I need to compare each word on the word list to another specific word, for example, I have the word TestWord, I want to compare each word in my wordlist to TestWord until I find a match. I apologize for not being specific enough. If you need more details just ask I didnt intend to upset you. Link to post Share on other sites
