Table in array

[Arterie]

I want to read a table of data into an array... e.g.

name| peter klaus

chars| 5 5

But i want to assign it "automaticly". That means i do not want to write :

$array[0][0] = "peter"

Maybe thers a way to read a tabloe out of a *.txt file or out of the script like you can do in C++ like:

$array =

{

peter klaus

5 5

}

I hope you know what i mean

hm... I got a *.txt file like this:

w.w.w.w.w
w.0.0.0.w
w.0.1.0.w
w.0.0.0.w
w.w.w.w.w

And i want that to be read into an array...so that it offers 1 if i ask for

$array[2][2]

I already tried with _FileReadToArray but then this are just lines and this isnt what i want....

I thought of something like reading out,then using stringsplit and then copieing this into another array...but i dont get it

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

Global $sFile, $aFile, $aTable[1][1], $aTemp, $i, $j

$sFile = "test.txt"
_FileReadToArray($sFile, $aFile)
If @error = 1 Then Exit

For $i=1 To $aFile[0]
    $aTemp = StringSplit($aFile[$i], ".")
    If @error <> 1 Then
        ReDim $aTable[$i][$aTemp[0]]
        For $j=1 To $aTemp[0]
            $aTable[$i-1][$j-1] = $aTemp[$j]
        Next
    EndIf
Next

_ArrayDisplay($aTable)

Put the contents you spoke of in a file called test.txt and run the following... Is this what you mean?

(By the way, I made it work for any gridsize as long as it's in the exact format as your example, meaning all lines have equal amount of elements, and no non-zero lines are used.)

#include <file.au3>
#include <array.au3>

Dim $aRecords[1], $tempArray[1], $array[1][1]
_FileReadToArray("c:\test.txt", $aRecords)
$max_y = $aRecords[0] - 1

For $y = 0 To $max_y
 $tempArray = StringSplit($aRecords[$y + 1], ".") ; <- aRecords's info that we need is records 1-5
 If $y = 0 Then
  $max_x = $tempArray[0] - 1
  ReDim $array[$max_x+1][$max_y+1]
 EndIf
 For $x = 0 To $max_x
  $array[$x][$y] = $tempArray[$x + 1] ; <- We also need $tempArray elements 1-5
 Next
Next

_ArrayDisplay($array,-1,-1,-1)

Wow, that's almost exactly the same

Only I thought about really big arrays which would make the ReDim possibly slow My solution came with the drawback however of requiring a stricter format

[zorphnog]

True. You only need to run ReDim once, I was just in a hurry and didn't really care about efficiency.

Thats great...Thank you
