Find last text

[tor34]

Hello

First I would like to thank you for this amazing tool. I just started scripting and it's going pritty good but now I have a problem. I hope you can help.

I have a text file with full of text and I need to get the name of the last one trading with me. In this case it would be Daddyd. I know how to find "Trading with..." line but i just need the last one, so how do i do this? Sorry for my bad english.

Log.txt looks like this:

Hi there and welcome

Its really easy :

#include <File.au3>

Dim $allfiles

$path = "c:\test.txt" ; your file
_FileReadToArray($path,$allfiles ); puts the file context in an array
$lastline = Ubound($allfiles) -1 ;gives you the all the records in ubound, the last one is the last line
$result = FileReadLine($path, $lastline);reads the last line
MsgBox(0, "test", $result)

Cheers

Hi again,

Do you mean having a GUI and send the result to a editbox?

#include <File.au3>
#include <GuiConstants.au3>
Dim $allfiles

$path = "c:\test.txt" ; your file
_FileReadToArray($path,$allfiles ); puts the file context in an array
$lastline = Ubound($allfiles) -1 ;gives you the all the records in ubound, the last one is the last line
$result = FileReadLine($path, $lastline);reads the last line
;MsgBox(0, "test", $result)

GUICreate("test", 200, 100)
$edit = GUICtrlCreateEdit("" , 10, 10, 100, 20, $ES_READONLY, -1)
$update = GUICtrlCreateButton("Update", 70, 40, 70, 40)
GUISetState()

while 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
        select 
            case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE 
                Exit
            case $msg = $update
                GUICtrlSetData($edit,$result)
        EndSelect
    Sleep(10)
WEnd

Cheers

Hi, thanks again. No thats not it. I just need a scripts that looks in the text file for the last one who traded me. I know how to find text in a file but if i try to look for "Trading..." I get everyones names, i just want the last one.

So i need a script thats looks thru the log file like the one in my first post. So the result would be Daddyd.

Hard to explain but thanks for trying!

Hi again,

I think i understand whats your need...

You'll have to "play" with strings.

with some code its better

If you need help just say!

Hi, the way to do it is:

#include<File.au3>
$fileHandle = FileOpen("C:\test.txt",0)
$numberOfLines = _filecountlines("C:\test.txt")
For $i = $numberOfLines To 1 Step -1
$text = StringTrimLeft(FileReadLine($fileHandle,$i),45)
If StringLeft($text,13) == "Trading with " Then
$tradingWith = StringTrimRight(StringTrimLeft($text,13),1)
MsgBox(0,"",$TradingWith)
ExitLoop
EndIf
Next
FileClose($fileHandle)
Exit

Edit: Initial code didn't work, but its working now

Enjoy

Dave.

Hi,

$found = StringRegExp(FileRead(FileOpen(@ScriptDir & '\log.txt', 0)), '(?<=Trading with )\w{1,}', 3)
If IsArray($found) Then MsgBox(64, 'Found', $found[UBound($found) - 1 ])

So long,
