array problem.....

[evilertoaster]

hey, im trying to write a function that takes a long string of words and finds the most common x-length word in the string. so far ive made this (its got some debugging progress-bars on atm)-

expandcollapse popup

$aline = "the quixk brown brown foxie fox did the jumpy over laaaazzzzyyyy dog the quick brown"
mcomw ($aline,4)

func mcomw ($string,$len)
    progresson ("state","starting")
    $size=stringlen ($string)/$len
    $size = round ($size) + 4
    dim $aray[$size][2]
    $start = 1
    while 1
        $sub=stringmid ($string,$start,$len)
        if @error = -1 then exitloop
        progressset ("state","current sub " & $sub)
        sleep (1000)
        $astart = 1
        $flag = "notfound"
        clipput ($astart)
        do                    
            if $sub = $aray[$astart][1] then
                $flag = "found"
                progressset (0,"state","found " & $sub)
                sleep (3000)
                exitloop
            endif
            sleep (100)
            progressset (0,"state", $astart & " of " & $size)
            $astart = $astart + 1
        until $astart + 2 = $size
        if $flag="found" then
            $aray[$astart][2] = $aray[$astart][2] + 1
            progressset (0,"state", "array count " & $aray[$astart][2])
            sleep (3000)
        endif
        if $flag = "notfound" then
            $astart = 1
            progressset (0,"state", "starting not found")
            sleep (3000)
            while 1
                if $aray[$astart][1] = "" then
                    $aray[$astart][1]= $sub
                    progressset (0,"state", "wrote " & $sub & " to array " & $aray[$astart][1])
                    sleep (3000)
                    exitloop
                endif
                $astart = $astart + 1
            wend
        endif
        $start = $start + 1
    wend
    clipput ($aray[1][1] & " " & $array[1][2])

endfunc

but it crashes becuase of some array error, also it says that some $sub is already presant when its not....if anyone has the time to accaulyl see what im doing and the kindess and briliance to help I'd sure appreciate it... thanks

edit: alternitivly if there is already someone who did this can you tell me where?

Without deep diving into code, problem with

dim $aray[$size][2]

second dimention is only 2 in size, but in code you adressing third element:

$aray[$astart][2] = $aray[$astart][2] + 1

As alternative, you can look into this:

$aline = "the quixk brown brown foxie fox did the jumpy over laaaazzzzyyyy dog the quick brown"

MsgBox (0, "title", MostCommonWord($aline, 5))

Func MostCommonWord($string, $len)
    Local $comWord = "", $comNum = 1, $num = 1
    $asWord = StringSplit($string, " ")
    For $i = 1 to $asWord[0]
        If StringLen($asWord[$i]) <> $len Then ContinueLoop
        For $j = $i+1 To $asWord[0]
            If $asWord[$i] <> $asWord[$j] Then ContinueLoop
            $num = $num + 1
        Next
        If $num > $comNum Then 
            $comNum = $num
            $comWord = $asWord[$i]
            $num = 1
        Endif
    Next
    Return($comWord)
Endfunc
