Populating a ListBox

[Azazash]

Hi guys and gals,

I'm trying to populate a ListBox with information taken from a logfile that contains data from 11 fields on a line-by-line basis. e.g.

CODE

Agnieszka Gorczynska{TAB}Agnieszka Gorczynska{TAB}8{TAB}2008-01-21 09:53{TAB}{TAB}2008-01-20 14:53{TAB}782{TAB}DWD50JI4.lxw{TAB}6{TAB}unum{TAB}Robert SCOTT{CR}

Agnieszka Gorczynska{TAB}Agnieszka Gorczynska{TAB}9{TAB}2008-01-21 09:53{TAB}{TAB}2008-01-20 14:53{TAB}782{TAB}DWD50JI1.lxw{TAB}1{TAB}unum{TAB}Robert SCOTT{CR}

What i think i should do is split each line of the log into a MDArray , so i would have

........... Line1 Line2 Line3 ... To end of file

Field 1

Field 2

Field 4

...

Field 11

Or the 'fields' could even run across the top of array with the 'lines' appearing down the side, whatever.

So i can then take all instances of Field2 and place the values into the ListBox...

But then that leads me onto needing to ensure that names are unique... which i'll deal with some other time.

I havent really got any code to show you as im still struggling with the concept, but would a MultiDimensional array be the answer for this or are there better ways to do it?

If so how would i go about populating the array?

StringSplit using @TAB as delimiter.

Example:

#include <array.au3>
$s = "Agnieszka Gorczynska  Agnieszka Gorczynska    8   2008-01-21 09:53        2008-01-20 14:53    782"
$spl = StringSplit($s, @TAB)
_ArrayDisplay($spl)

EDIT: removed a small part of testing line because it was being truncated.

You can see that everything is put in an array - it's up to you to continue from here.
