tring to use several things to sort a section off a file

[JimC]

I have tried to sort the [setupHotfixesToRun] section of the svcpack.inf file, but have had no luck. I have tried loading to a temp file and using _arraysort, but no luck. Any ideas ?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

If read to an array, _arraysort should work just fine. It didn't work for you?

Did you read it all to the array ok?

maybe remove everything after "*.exe" or "*.cat" then _arraysort

[enaiman]

Just put the content you want sorted into a text file and this script should do the trick:

#include <File.au3>
#include <Array.au3>
Dim $arr
_FileReadToArray("C:\test.txt", $arr)
Dim $newarr[UBound($arr)]
For $i = 1 to UBound($arr) - 1
    $newarr[$i] = StringMid($arr[$i], 3)
Next
_ArraySort($newarr)
For $i = 1 to UBound($newarr) - 1
    $newarr[$i] = "KB"&$newarr[$i]
Next
_ArrayDisplay ($newarr)

maybe remove everything after "*.exe" or "*.cat" then _arraysort

removing the leading KB did the trick Edited August 8, 2007 by enaiman
