StringInStr

Hi,

How can use StringInStr when a string and substring are two variables.

Reading the contents from File 1 and put the part wanted in a variable.

$Line1 = FileReadLine($File1)

$Var = StringMid ($Line1 , 18,4)

By reading File 2 and searching per line I'd like to check if the content of "Var" is in File 2

$Line2 = FileReadLine($File2)

If StringInStr($Line2, $Var) Then

Many thanks in advance for any help given on this matter.

I don't see anything wrong with the syntax you posted... what's the problem?

:P

Thanks for your swiftly reply PsaltyDS.

Well,the next command would be, for instance, a ConsoleWrite showing the entire line but somehow it goes to Else instead of execute what is In If.. Then block.

The files are TXT files and I know that the value on $Var is in the other file. Am I missing something?

Many thanks again.

$Line1 = "Hello world! bla blaa bla test."

$Var = StringMid ($Line1 , 18,4) ;this returns "blaa"

$Line2 = "blaa bla bla bla test test test"

If StringInStr($Line2, $Var) Then ;this will write "found" because you can find "blaa" in $Line2

ConsoleWrite("Found")

Else

ConsoleWrite("Not found")

EndIf

btw. also keep in mind that if you use FileReadLine you need a loop to loop all lines and not only the first one. To stop it use

If @error = -1 Then ExitLoop
inside your loop. Edited by Pain

Thanks for you clarification on that Pain but makes any difference if the content of that variable are numbers instead of letters? Or maybe the way that I'm doing the loop to read line by line?

It wouldn't make any difference if the variable contains numbers, letters or mixed up with both.

However in your script you never posted any loop so I assume that's why it doesn't work.

$file = FileOpen("Test.txt", 0)

While 1
    $line = FileReadLine($file)
    If @error = -1 Then ExitLoop;try comment out this line. Warning! make sure you can escape it somehow like exit from the trayicon.
    consolewrite($line)

I got it now.

Pain, many thanks for your help.

Cheers.
