For Loop not working...

[FireLordZi]

What's wrong with my For Loop?

$readsection = IniReadSection("C:\buddies.ini", "OnlineBuddies")
    If IsArray($readsection) Then
        For $z = 1 To $readsection[0][0]
            $var0 = StringSplit($readsection[$z][1], "~")
            $var1 = StringSplit($readsection[$z][1], ";")
            $date_ = StringTrimLeft($var1[UBound($var1)-1], 1)
            $dateitems = _GUICtrlListViewSetItemText($nListview, $z, 2, $date_); Sets the date from the INI file
        Next
    EndIf

Here's my .ini if you need:

[OnlineBuddies]

Nemo=sdfgdsg|sdfgsd|dsfg;~2-5-08

Ando=fdgdfsg|dsfgsd|rfgdf;~2-3-08

It is supposed to be setting the date to both of my listview items but it only sets 2-5-08 to the second listview item. What is wrong with my code?

Don't know, but it looks like you should be saying

$dateitems = _GUICtrlListViewSetItemText($nListview, $z-1, 2, $date_); Sets the date from the INI file

You should be splitting by semi-colon first, then stripping.

sdfgdsg|sdfgsd|dsfg;~2-5-08

[1] = sdfgdsg|sdfgsd|dsfg

[2] = ~2-5-08

StringTrimLeft(1....)

Thanks, both of your replies helped.

Ok, I did this and now it is setting the date to the first listview item.

For example, if there are three items, and two items have dates, no matter

where the items are, it will set both dates in the first and second listview item.

This code is not working properly, any suggestions?

I think your problem is with your loop setup and this line:

_GUICtrlListViewSetItemText($nListview, $z

ListView items are ZERO-BASED and thus your $z needs at some point to = 0 to set the first ListView item (index = 0)

I think that's what martin was trying to get at?

if there are three items, and two items have dates, no matter

where the items are, it will set both dates in the first and second listview item.

this is because you are simply assigning the text to whatever $z is - which at the moment is 0 and 1 (using $z - 1). You're not telling autoit which listview item is the one you want to set the date to.

In my experience it's easier to re-write the whole list view from scratch every time you want to update things, otherwise you'd need to script to look for the correct listview item text (e.g. Nemo or Ando etc) get the index of that item then assign the date by that index.

Much easier to re-write the listview with the new date imo.
