Trouble with Array's

[ioliver]

Ok, here's my code:

While 2
  $strEngTitle = WinGetTitle("")
  $arrayEngTitle = StringSplit($strEngTitle, chr(32))
  For $x = 1 to UBound($arrayEngTitle)
    Call("Translate")
  Next
  For $x = 1 to UBound($arrayEngTitle)
    $strSpaTitle = $strSpaTitle & $arrayEngTitle[$x] & " "
  Next
  WinSetTitle($strEngTitle, "", $strSpaTitle)
Wend

Func Translate()
  StringLower($arrayEngTitle)
  Select
    Case $arrayEngTitle[$x] = "windows"
      $arrayEngTitle[$x] = "ventanas"
    Case $arrayEngTitle[$x] = "notepad"
      $arrayEngTitle[$x] = "nota tableta"
  EndSelect
EndFunc

I get an error message (dimension range exceeded) when I run this script. I'm sure the problem is using the $arrayEngTitle[$x] in the Function. But I don't know what the problem could be. Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks again for all your help,

Ian

Ok, here's my code:

StringLower($arrayEngTitle)

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

This doesn't look right.

Its missing the [.] and the result goes no where...

For $x = 0 to (UBound($arrayEngTitle) - 1)

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I guess with stringsplit it should be:

For $x = 1 to (UBound($arrayEngTitle) - 1)

or

For $x = 1 to $arrayEngTitle[0]

Thanks, here's the new code:

While 2
  $strEngTitle = WinGetTitle("")
  $arrayEngTitle = StringSplit($strEngTitle, chr(32))
  For $x = 0 to (UBound($arrayEngTitle) - 1)
    Call("Translate")
  Next
  For $x = 0 to (UBound($arrayEngTitle) - 1)
    $strSpaTitle = $strSpaTitle & $arrayEngTitle[$x] & " "
  Next
  WinSetTitle($strEngTitle, "", $strSpaTitle)
Wend

Func Translate()
  $arrayEngTitle1 = StringLower($arrayEngTitle[$x])
  Select
    Case $arrayEngTitle1 = "windows"
      $arrayEngTitle[$x] = "ventanas"
    Case $arrayEngTitle1 = "notepad"
      $arrayEngTitle[$x] = "nota tableta"
  EndSelect
EndFunc

I added you suggestions and the Script doesn't blow up anymore, but it also doesn't work the way I intended it to.

Thanks Larry...

It's not an important script anyway. I'm just trying to kill time, and improve my AutoIt skills.

Edit: Added, and improve my AutoIt skills...

Plus, it is stupid question day anyway...

You're right... I haven't done anything, I guess I was just looking for a handout. I'll look into is some more.

Thanks again,

Just a bit of FYI:

$arrayEngTitle = StringSplit($strEngTitle, chr(32))
 For $x = 1 to UBound($arrayEngTitle)

Stringsplit automatically gives the ammount of elements -1 to [0]

so you can also use this as well as removing 1 from the ubound:

$arrayEngTitle = StringSplit($strEngTitle, chr(32))
 For $x = 1 to $arrayEngTitle[0]

Dim $Array[2] has two elements

$Array[0]

$Array[1]

that is why Ubound($Array)=2

and for $x=1 to Ubound($Array) would cause you problems in that part.

Well since it seems these days to be unknown, I cheat. There is a very highly secretive little place where all this info and more are held. We Gurus in the field make sure that this kind of information never gets out to the public. The way we do that is to hide it in a "help file" or as others call it, a "Manual." The thought of reading anything called a Manual that might offer help is strickly forbidden in many cultures and cliques. The best place to hide something is in plain sight, so we have hidden all this and more where no one would ever dare to look.....

on a side note though, many obvious things are often missed by very smart people. This is the "can't see the forest because of all the trees" symptom. And cleaning up code, alternate approaches, and a new way of looking at solving a problem are things I really enjoy.

Thanks scriptkitty. With you suggestions, it's working a little better. I'm going to keep working with it. Of course, I'll need a better English to Spanish Dictionary
