Guictrlsetdata problem

[qazwsx]

I am trying to set the data for a list control. The data i want to use is the section names of an ini file. I was thinking arrays would be the best way to do this, but since i do not know how many items there may it gives me an error. Its more of a logic question than a coding one.

Using For...Next Loops with arrays is very easy to work with, for example:

Say there was a file with several lines, and for each line (aka for each @CR), I want it to display the line in the file through a msgbox but I don't know how many lines there are in the file.

$file = FileRead("test.txt")
$split = StringSplit($file, @CR) ;Create an array for each line
For $i = 1 To UBound($split)-1
    Msgbox(0,"Line #" & $i, $split[$i])
Next
;Done

(Untested, wrote it off the top of my head)

Hope the example can give you an idea of what you want to do.

yeh thats is what i was thinking, but doenst the guictrlsetdata have to be done at once?

There are two ways to approach this,

#1: Storing each array value in a string

Local $data = ""
For $i = 0 To UBound($array)-1 ;For each array..
    $data &= $array[$i] & "|"  ;the $data string will hold each array value, each seperated with a "|"
Next
$data = StringTrimRight($data, 1) ;Trim the extra "|" added in the For..Next Loop
GUICtrlSetData($ListControl, $data)oÝ÷ Ûe,xP­®T´6­kl=ªÚë^­«­¢+Ù1½°ÀÌØíÑôÅÕ½ÐìÅÕ½Ðì)½ÈÀÌØí¤ôÀQ¼U  ½Õ¹ ÀÌØíÉÉ䤴Äí½È ÉÉ丸(U%

Once again, all untested, but should work

And funnily enough there's a function IniReadSectionNames() which returns an array of section names.
