HELP - Array from List excluding "blanks"?

[gnosis3d]

Not sure what to search for, so I am having to ask first...

In my utility, I have a list of CLIENTS. This list has been hard-coded, but I want to make it read from an external INI file.

The problem I am running into is I need to create a drop-down box listing these CLIENTS. I want to have space for, say... 19 clients. However, if I only have 10 clients, I need to last 9 to be "removed" from the drop-down list.

Here are some pieces of the code to see what I am going for.

GUICtrlCreateLabel("Client / Customer",10,75)
$client = GUICtrlCreateCombo ("Client1",10,90,90)
GUICtrlSetData($client,"Client1|Client2|Client3","Client1")

$clientDIR1= IniRead(@ProgramFilesDir & "\RemoteJuggler\remotejuggler.ini", "location", "clientDIR1", "NotFound")
$clientDIR2= IniRead(@ProgramFilesDir & "\RemoteJuggler\remotejuggler.ini", "location", "clientDIR2", "NotFound")
$clientDIR3= IniRead(@ProgramFilesDir & "\RemoteJuggler\remotejuggler.ini", "location", "clientDIR3", "NotFound")
$clientDIR4= IniRead(@ProgramFilesDir & "\RemoteJuggler\remotejuggler.ini", "location", "clientDIR4", "NotFound")
$clientDIR5= IniRead(@ProgramFilesDir & "\RemoteJuggler\remotejuggler.ini", "location", "clientDIR5", "NotFound")
$clientDIR6= IniRead(@ProgramFilesDir & "\RemoteJuggler\remotejuggler.ini", "location", "clientDIR6", "NotFound")
$clientDIR7= IniRead(@ProgramFilesDir & "\RemoteJuggler\remotejuggler.ini", "location", "clientDIR7", "NotFound")
$clientDIR8= IniRead(@ProgramFilesDir & "\RemoteJuggler\remotejuggler.ini", "location", "clientDIR8", "NotFound")
$clientDIR9= IniRead(@ProgramFilesDir & "\RemoteJuggler\remotejuggler.ini", "location", "clientDIR9", "NotFound")
$clientDIR10= IniRead(@ProgramFilesDir & "\RemoteJuggler\remotejuggler.ini", "location", "clientDIR10", "NotFound")
$clientDIR11= IniRead(@ProgramFilesDir & "\RemoteJuggler\remotejuggler.ini", "location", "clientDIR11", "NotFound")
$clientDIR12= IniRead(@ProgramFilesDir & "\RemoteJuggler\remotejuggler.ini", "location", "clientDIR12", "NotFound")
$clientDIR13= IniRead(@ProgramFilesDir & "\RemoteJuggler\remotejuggler.ini", "location", "clientDIR13", "NotFound")
$clientDIR14= IniRead(@ProgramFilesDir & "\RemoteJuggler\remotejuggler.ini", "location", "clientDIR14", "NotFound")
$clientDIR15= IniRead(@ProgramFilesDir & "\RemoteJuggler\remotejuggler.ini", "location", "clientDIR15", "NotFound")
$clientDIR16= IniRead(@ProgramFilesDir & "\RemoteJuggler\remotejuggler.ini", "location", "clientDIR16", "NotFound")
$clientDIR17= IniRead(@ProgramFilesDir & "\RemoteJuggler\remotejuggler.ini", "location", "clientDIR17", "NotFound")
$clientDIR18= IniRead(@ProgramFilesDir & "\RemoteJuggler\remotejuggler.ini", "location", "clientDIR18", "NotFound")
$clientDIR19= IniRead(@ProgramFilesDir & "\RemoteJuggler\remotejuggler.ini", "location", "clientDIR19", "NotFound")

Here is a quick way using a couple arrays to parse out the data that you don't want. To put these names into a GUI just use _arraytostring to parse the array. This list is also not limited to the number of customers you could have.

CODE

#include<array.au3>

$clients =IniReadSection(@ProgramFilesDir&'\Clients.ini','Location')

_ArrayDisplay($clients)

dim $avarray[1]

for $idd = 1 to UBound($clients)-1

if $clients[$idd][1] <> '"None"' Then _ArrayAdd($avarray,StringRegExpReplace($clients[$idd][1],('"'),''))

Next

_ArrayDisplay($avarray)

Edit: changed @scriptdir in my script to @programdir to match original script

Beat me to it - Here's my quick and dirty:

CODE

#include <GuiConstants.au3>

$clientGUI = GUICreate("Clients")

$comboClients = GUICtrlCreateCombo("",10,10,75,20)

$aClientLocations = IniReadSection(@ScriptDir & "\remotejuggler.ini", "location")

For $i = 1 To $aClientLocations[0][0]

$aClientLocations[$i][1] = _StringStripQuotes($aClientLocations[$i][1])

Next

$clients = ""

For $i = 1 To $aClientLocations[0][0]

If $aClientLocations[$i][1] <> "none" Then

$clients &= $aClientLocations[$i][1] &"|"

EndIf

Next

If StringRight($clients,1) = "|" Then $clients = StringTrimRight($clients,1)

GUICtrlSetData($comboClients,$clients)

GUISetState()

While 1

$msg = GUIGetMsg()

Select

Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

Exit

EndSelect

Wend

Func _StringStripQuotes($var)

Do

If StringRight($var, 1) = Chr(34) Then

$var = StringTrimRight($var, 1)

EndIf

Until StringRight($var, 1) <> Chr(34)

Do

If StringLeft($var, 1) = Chr(34) Then

$var = StringTrimLeft($var, 1)

EndIf

Until StringLeft($var, 1) <> Chr(34)

Return $var

EndFunc

Nevermind - I was referencing the wrong location for the clients.ini file.

Working on it now. Thanks for the help! I'll post here if I run into any more problems.
