Gui edit box to array

[whitts]

Hi i was wondering if anyone can help me. I have several gui input boxes, call them input A, input B and input C.

Once these are filled in, you press the add button and these are added into memory, i wanted to be able to do this as many times as needed until you press the finsihde button, once the finish button is pressed i want all the text in memory to be written to a text file.

eg.

Input A; Testing

Input B; Testing1

Input C; Testing2

Add

Input A; somethingelse

Input B; somethingelse1

Input C; somethingelse2

Add

Each time add is pressed the text goes into memory.

Then when i press finish all the text in memory is written to a text file..

I dont know how to do this without pre-defing the number of time the person inupt something..

Thanks

You want it so the prevoious text that was in Input A remains there? For example, you type "hello" in input A, press add and then type "bye" in the same input box. So, when you write to the file it will write: "Hello bye".

If that's what you want, this seems to work alright.

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#include <File.au3>
Global $Saved[3]
GUICreate("", 273, 192, 217, 152)
$Input1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("Input1", 12, 14, 245, 21)
$Input2 = GUICtrlCreateInput("Input2", 12, 47, 245, 21)
$Input3 = GUICtrlCreateInput("Input3", 12, 80, 245, 21)
$Save = GUICtrlCreateButton("Save to memory", 22, 130, 105, 45, $BS_DEFPUSHBUTTON)
$Write = GUICtrlCreateButton("Write to file", 142, 130, 105, 45, 0)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)


While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $Save
            $Saved[0]=$Saved[0] & " " &GUICtrlRead($Input1)
            $Saved[1]=$Saved[1] & " " &GUICtrlRead($Input2)
            $Saved[2]=$Saved[2] & " " &GUICtrlRead($Input3)
            GUICtrlSetData($Input1,"")
            GUICtrlSetData($Input2,"")
            GUICtrlSetData($Input3,"")
        Case $Write
            _FileWriteFromArray("MyFile.txt",$Saved)
            $Saved[0]=""
            $Saved[1]=""
            $Saved[2]=""
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Something like that, i will describe what i wanted it to do.

I basically anted the program to ask for the ip (inputA), share name (input and display name (input C). Then when the user hits add those go to memory. Then the user can repeat the same steps for different printer and so on until he hits finish. When finish is pressed i want all the printers in memory and their details to be written to a file. The file is formatted as follows:-

ECHO.^<package^>>"yes.wsf"

ECHO.>>"yes.wsf"

ECHO.^<job id="vbs"^>>>"yes.wsf"

ECHO.>>"yes.wsf"

ECHO. ^<script language="VBScript"^>>>"yes.wsf"

ECHO.set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")>>"yes.wsf"

ECHO.WScript.Sleep 3000>>"yes.wsf"

ECHO.WshShell.SendKeys "Y">>"yes.wsf"

ECHO.^</script^>>>"yes.wsf"

ECHO.^</job^>>>"yes.wsf"

ECHO.^</package^>>>"yes.wsf"

ECHO.Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00>"printer.reg"

ECHO.>>"printer.reg"

ECHO.[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Ports]>>"printer.reg"

ECHO."\\\\192.168.136.88(INPUT A)\\ICU (INPUT "="">"printer.reg">>"printer.reg"

ECHO.[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Ports]>>"printer.reg"

ECHO."\\\\192.168.136.89(INPUT A - ADDED AGAIN)\\ER ((INPUT b -ADDED AGAIN)"="">"printer.reg">>"printer.reg"

regedit /S printer.reg

net stop spooler

net start spooler

start wscript yes.wsf

rundll32 /s printui.dll, PrintUIEntry /if /q /b "ICU" /f "c:\8220\Adduni.inf" /r "\\192.168.136.88\ICU" /m "Brother MFC-8220" w

start wscript yes.wsf

rundll32 /s printui.dll, PrintUIEntry /if /q /b "ER" /f "c:\8220\Adduni.inf" /r "\\192.168.136.90\ER" /m "Brother MFC-8220" w

del yes.wsf

del printer.reg

I can now get it to go into the array but how to i get it out of the array in the format that i want?

[Nahuel]

It shouldn't be hard... just modify the script I gave you. I don't understand that, to be honest, so I wouldn't know where to put the values returned by the inputboxes.

Thanks Nahuel

I think im nearly there now....

But when i add the second lot of data i dont want it go on the end i want it to go to the next line. How do i make start a new line?

Thanks

Mmm.. try this:

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#include <Array.au3>
#include <File.au3>

Global $Saved[1];This will be an array of 2 elements, but _ArrayAdd will take care of 
                ;making it bigger as you add data.
GUICreate("", 273, 192, 217, 152)
$Input1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("Input1", 12, 14, 245, 21)
$Input2 = GUICtrlCreateInput("Input2", 12, 47, 245, 21)
$Input3 = GUICtrlCreateInput("Input3", 12, 80, 245, 21)
$Save = GUICtrlCreateButton("Save to memory", 22, 130, 105, 45, $BS_DEFPUSHBUTTON)
$Write = GUICtrlCreateButton("Write to file", 142, 130, 105, 45, 0)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $Save
            _ArrayAdd($Saved,GUICtrlRead($Input1) & "*" &GUICtrlRead($Input2)& "*" &GUICtrlRead($Input3))
            GUICtrlSetData($Input1,"")
            GUICtrlSetData($Input2,"")
            GUICtrlSetData($Input3,"")
        Case $Write
;~          _ArrayDisplay($Saved)
            _FileWriteFromArray("MyFile.txt",$Saved)
    EndSwitch

WEnd

I added a * separator, so when you build your file, you can use StringSplit() and get the individual values of each line. Shouldn't be hard to do.
