#include <Array.au3>

$days = _ArrayCreate("Sun","Mon","Tue","Wed","Thu","Fri", "Sat")

$x = 0

While $days[$x] <> ""

msgbox (0,"", $days[$x])

$x=$x+1

WEnd

Or

$days = StringSplit("Sun,Mon,Tue,Wed,Thu,Fri,Sat", ",")

$main = 1

Do

msgbox (0,"", $days[$main])

$main = $main + 1

Until $main = 8

Here u go ^^

i guess i didnt really say what i need.

im trying to read a text file that goes :

mon,tue,wed,thur,fri,sat,sun

then my code will for example end up being

$days = StringSplit("Sun,Mon,Tue,Wed,Thu,Fri,Sat", ",")

so i want to somehow everytime choose one of the delimited options.

it could go in order or randomly select them i dont really care.

$days is an array. Look at the Helpfile for the stringsplit() example.

[supadodger]

#include <Array.au3>

$days = _ArrayCreate("Sun","Mon","Tue","Wed","Thu","Fri", "Sat")

$x = 0

While $days[$x] <> ""

msgbox (0,"", $days[$x])

$x=$x+1

WEnd

thanks for the code.

and i know your probly a busy man but can you explain to me exactly what you did there?

i want to be able to do for myself instead of always coming back asking questions.

i can brute force most things i want to do and my code sure is ugly but mostly if i can get it working i do it myself.

not sure what you want to do but your problem is $days is an array, so $days means nothing

$days = StringSplit("Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat", ",")

$main = 0
Do
msgbox (0,"", $days[$main])
    $main = $main + 1
Until $main = 7

As sead above $Days is an array, and when you read from an array you nead to make " [number] " of the value you want to read read from after $days. Like this $days[0], $days[0] will return Sun. But when you use stringsplit the first value will be the number of times it splitted the text.

$days[0] will return the number of arrays... but yes that is what I was doing with main and is correct.

as previosly mentioned by jos, read the helpfile under arrays and string split.

[Richard Robertson]

The 0 subscript is not required to return the count of the array.

[Mat]

in the context of the script used (no flag) it does.

You found StringSplit but then apparently didn't read the help file on it. There is also a cleaner way to parse through the days...

$days = StringSplit("Sun,Mon,Tue,Wed,Thu,Fri,Sat", ",")

For $main = 1 to $days[0]
    MsgBox(0,"", $days[$main])
Next

$days = StringSplit("Sun,Mon,Tue,Wed,Thu,Fri,Sat", ",")

$main = 0
Do
msgbox (0,"", $days)
    $main = $main + 1
Until $main = 7

msgbox is blank everytime.

i do realize that im doing it wrong. i just dont know how to do what i want.
