extract string

[edy]

hi all

I have a string like "10/6/04 7:59 AM" and i want to extract hours and minutes (7:59)

how can i obtain it?

Thanks

$example = "10/6/04 7:59 AM"

$time = StringSplit($example, " ")

MsgBox(4096, "Result", $time[2])

Ok, Thanks

To avoid keeping a unneeded array in memory you can change to:

$eg = "10/6/04 7:59 AM"
$time = StringSplit($eg, " ")
$time = $time[2]

MsgBox(4096, "Result", $time)

I love variants

ezzetabi: Cute signature, but just as an FYI, you are missing a "1" at the end of your first binary string. It should be "001001001"

I am guessing that means ezzitabi loves autoit?

$Nakoruru from what I see, but I was never into Binary.

ezzitabi loves autoit would roughly be:

01100101 01111010 01111010 01101001 01110100 01100001 01100010 01101001 00100000 01101100 01101111 01110110 01100101 01110011 00100000 01100001 01110101 01110100 01101111 01101001 01110100

Wow, I never thought that someone actually tried to read it.

Ok... Time to change it

SerialKiller you are right, thanks.

Geeze... I know that is Hex... (I think) I dont know how to read either hex or binary.. I would like to though... I just had to learn how to convert between the different numbering sceme's

I like the binary one for looks, but content of your new one is better.

$example = "10/6/04 7:59 AM"

$time = StringSplit($example, " ")

MsgBox(4096, "Result", $time[2])

I have tested using the StringSplit ($example, " ") -> which is empty space,

however it didn't work out to my case....

Example :

                    3300110025841204                  Name goes here                28,540

                    3300110025841385                  Name goes here                12,569

                    3300110025842854                  Name goes here                  5,874

For the above case... I wonder why the StringSplit() does not work ?

I've tested, it displays EMPTY by using MsgBox()

What I want is, to display 2 things:

1) a bunch of numbers (1st column)

2) name (2nd column)

Please advise. Thank you

Each space will be returned as an element :

$example = "3300110025841204                  Name goes here                28,540"

$time = StringSplit($example, " ")

MsgBox(4096, "Result", $time[0])

MsgBox(4096, "Result", $time[37])

$time[0] is numer of elements (37)

the second msgbox display 28,540

bye

Yea, you can have autoit clean up your code, and then output the data.

ex:

$x="                    3300110025841204                  Name_goes_here                28,540"
split($x)
$x="                    3300110025841385                  Name_goes_here                12,569"
split($x)
$x="                    3300110025842854                  Name_goes_here                  5,874"
split($x)

func split($_x)
$_xarray=Stringsplit($_x," ")
for $i=1 to $_xarray[0]
if $_xarray[$i]="" then continueloop
msgbox(1,$_xarray[$i],"")
next    
endfunc

since you stringsplit by space, then "Name goes here" would cause a problem.

If you have a lot of this data, I would use something with regular expressions. It can make 2-20 spaces into say a | and then you could just stringsplit by |.

Use autoit to run a command line version or have autoit run it's GUI. I do that a lot with XML data.
