Getting strings to arrays from one string containing spaces

[PeteP]

Hello,

I have one string with several information elements containing spaces or tabs and I would like to pick up all elements... But I just can't really figure out the best way to do it...

For example I have $MY_STRING containing following data: "color weight length width"

All those are separated with unknown number of spaces or even tabs.. So how can I pick up each of those elements in arrays??

Thanks

$information = "bla 2 xD bla ... bla"
$information = StringSplit($inforamtion, " ")

$information will return an array containing :

[0] => 6 (6 items)

[1] => "bla" ; first item

[2] => "2" ; second item

.... ;and so on

[6] => "bla" ; until the last one

First get rid of the tabs, then convert multiple spaces into one space then stringsplit.

$string = "color        weight          length    width"
$convert1 = StringReplace($string,Chr(9),'')
$convert2 = StringStripWS($convert1,4);strip double (or more) spaces between words
$arrayString = StringSplit($convert2,' ')

I think this be easy using RegExp:

#include <Array.au3> ;Only for _ArrayDisplay :)

$MY_STRING = "color weight length width" & @TAB & "test string"
$sResult = StringRegExp($MY_STRING, "(\w+)", 3)

_ArrayDisplay($sResult)
