Another question

[Sim0n]

Hi. I'm wondering if there is a way to count the number of letters (signs?) in the clipboard.

To get:

While [number of signs in clipboard] >10

[some lines]

WEnd

[if less than 10 symbols, it should go here]

Should be easy, but I dont know how. Please help...

You need to look at ClipGet, then place the data that is found into an array. You can use StringSplit() to then split each character up. Afterwards you can run through the results looking for the characters you want to find.

No,

that's not I want

I want just it counts the number of characters no matter if number, space or letter. I don't want to use array, I know that one could count but I just dont want to use that function. If the clipboard has less than 10 characters, it should go further.

Like this:

; Set some variables
Global $Numbers, $Symbols, $Characters
; We set $Clip to what is in the clipboard
$Clip = ClipGet()
; Output what is in the clipboard
ConsoleWrite("Clipboard: " & $Clip & @CRLF)
; The length of the data
$Len = StringLen($Clip)
; We split up the string
$ClipSplit = StringSplit($Clip, "")
; Lets count the number of characters
For $i = 1 To $ClipSplit[0]
    If StringRegExp($ClipSplit[$i], "\d") Then $Numbers += 1
    If StringRegExp($ClipSplit[$i], "\D") Then $Characters += 1
Next
; Output final values
ConsoleWrite("Numbers: " & $Numbers & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("Characters: " & $Characters & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("Length: " & $Len & @CRLF)

First time I have ever used StringRegExp()

Now counts the numbers, letters and string length.

Hi,

ClipPut("I don't want, help me! Hmmm if I can't work out an array then maybe I can use StringLen()")
MsgBox(0, "Clipboard contains...", StringLen(ClipGet()) & " Characters")

Cheers

Thanks, with StringLen I could finish my script (at least I hope so)
