Evaluating characters

[sshrum]

I'm writting a function to store/read multi-dim arrays to/from files

When I save the an array the first line is the array dimensions with the seperator char inbetween like this:

'20|5' or '234,12'

Basically it's <number><seperator><number>

When I read the file, I get the first line and evaluate it. Problem is I can't seem to get that seperator character...

What do I need to do to single out the seperator (non-numeric). I tried IsString and IsNumber on each char in the string but they all return back the same result.

StringInStr + StringMid

or

StringSplit

?

not a solution but a workaround: make another dimension that holds the seperator character.

Or in case you want to get the separator out of that string, use

StringRegExpReplace($string, "[0-9]", "")

Or in case you want to get the separator out of that string, use

StringRegExpReplace($string, "[0-9]", "")

I'm not sure I followed what the OP was wanting... but I understood it it to be something like:

#include <array.au3>
$aSeperate = StringRegExp($aString, '(\d+)\D(\d+)', 3)
_ArrayDisplay($aSeperate);Should show all the numbers [0] Contains before separator [1] contains after, the separator would be any "Non" digit character

^ wow, what he said ^

So far I like Siao's solution...all I want to know is what the non-numeric character is in the first line...his solution so do just that.

Thanks everyone.
