i hope i understand your question:

$string="C:\|0 // D:\|1 // A:\Folder|2 //"

$array=StringSplit($string) ; you should look at the stringsplit function tho since im not sure what arguments it needs.

if its what you mean stringsplit creates an array with: 4 strings:

C:\|0

D:\|1

A:\Folder|2

+ one empty ""

you need #2 which is probably $array[1] or $array[2]

or as smoke_n answers use StringTrimRight , StringTrimLeft to remove parts from the right/left

You're question is more confusing than most noobs.

StringTrim* functions is probably what you are after.

Thanks for your reply,

But its harder like that because i know to do that...

1.Text in file can change so more arrays

2.Thats why i was asking for use with StringInStr to search good array

Thanks for answer !

@SmOke_N

I know Stringtrim, etc... but the string always change so I split arrays and I want to search in it with StringInStr and find the one I want

What exactly do you want to delete? If You'd explain that to us it'd be way more clear.

And you're point being?

You'd be better off to give a real life scenario example.

I explain more...

I have listview and I can add some items in it and i write items in txt file.

When I add item in listview I add "//" after for split them in txt file

So if I select item and i want to delete it its ok for listview, but in file ?

I think the better way is to split text with StringSplit and then search good array with StringInStr

You don't need to use stringsplit, take a careful look at StringRegExpReplace() that should do the job (I'm not good at using that function, others are..)

Thanks its the best way to replace text i want to delete by nothing

[toonboon]

I wish you good luck at this

[FireFox]

Hum...It seems to don't work with sentence (from helpfile)

The text to replace the regular expression matching text with. To insert matched group text, \0 - \9 (or $0 - $9) can be used as back-references.

So i can't replace all my string

haha, yup the StringRegExpReplace() function is a real fucking pain in the ass. I suggest pressing F1 in Scite and looking at the inbuilt tutorials in the helpfile that helps.

I want to be more clear : just want to delete sentence in a file

...this is so very confusing.

Can't you just use StringReplace()? Replace that something with nothing.

Any chance in you getting more explicit and give us an example of the "before" and "After" situation like Smoke_N requested?

Im not on my computer right now but I can give you simple example

Before (want to delete //D:\|1)

"C:\|0//D:\|1//E:\|2"

After

"C:\|0//E:\|2"

[Jos]

.... and why would a simple StringReplace() not work in this example?

[FireFox]

@Jos

Dont know I just tried all stringfunctions but not this one LOL

[Jos]

Sometimes its simple, all you really need to do is ask the right question.
