[work in progress] ListView Case problem

[CartoonDragon]

Hello everyone,

Earlier i was having trouble with a script and Smashly made me a lovely script which did what i wanted to, now comes the fact that i want to combine it in to the script that i'm using, tho it would be nearly impossible to have anyone else run the script like i do, i try to cut out the 2 pieces that i need to make work together.

Smashly's script

expandcollapse popup

#include <GuiConstantsEx.au3>
#include <GuiListView.au3>
#Include <File.au3>

Opt('MustDeclareVars', 1)

_Main()
If @error Then MsgBox(64, "Error", "No txt file found")


Func _Main()
    ;Set this to the path of yoor large text file
    Local $sTextFile = @ScriptDir & "\LargeTextfile.txt"
    Local  $aText, $hListView

    ;Read the txt file to an array
    If Not _FileReadToArray($sTextFile, $aText) Then Return SetError(1, 0, 0)
    
    ; Dim a 2D $aLV_Text array based on how many items are in the $aText array
    ; We use this array later to add it to the listview.
    Dim $aLV_Text[$aText[0]][1]
    
    ; Loop through the $aText array 
    For $i = 1 To $aText[0]
        
        ; String Split each line at the comma
        Local $aSSL = StringSplit($aText[$i], ",")

        ; See if we need more collomns in out listview
        If $aSSL[0] > Ubound($aLV_Text, 2) Then ReDim $aLV_Text[$aText[0]][$aSSL[0]]

        ;Loop through the Split line and add the new broken up line to $aLV_Text array.
        For $j = 0 To Ubound($aLV_Text, 2) - 1
            $aLV_Text[$i - 1][$j] = $aSSL[$j + 1]
        Next

And here is the script part of the script that i've tried to merge it together with (made by Melba23)

$iEnd = UBound($File) - 1
                    $Noftimes = 0
            Do
                ; Look for a line containing $User
                $iIndex = _ArraySearch($File, "\" & $User & " ", 0, $iEnd, 0, 1, 0)
                ; If we found one then add it to the List
                If Not ($iIndex = -1) Then
                $sLine = $File[$iIndex]
                ; Now format it as we require
                $sLine = StringReplace($sLine, "Homedir: \\fs2\home$\IT-ADM~1\", "") ; get rid of the path info
                $sLine = StringReplace($sLine, "Homedir: \\fs2\home$\STUDER~1\", "") ; get rid of the path info
                $sLine = StringReplace($sLine, "Homedir: \\eamv-fs1\Privat$\Ansatte\", "") ; get rid of the path info

                ; Now add to the List contents
                $sList &= "," & $sLine & ",|"
                ; Amend the last search element
                $iEnd = $iIndex - 1

Cartoondragon,

I only vaguely remember helping you with that script. And having 2 completely unrelated sections does not give much of hint as to what the desired output is supposed to be.

You obviously want to parse the file and display it in a ListView. So I suggest you take one line of the file and show which parts you want in each column of the ListView - that way we have a fighting chance to help you!

Hey Melba32,

I'm sorry for being so confusing, the results i'm trying to get is to turn a file filled with lines like this:

2011-03-16 11:04:14, Bo Munch Jensen (bmj), \\fs6\privat$\Ansatte\bmj (\\fs6\privat$\Ansatte\bmj), M11550, 10.253.3.12 - fe80::fdb3:c259:4bdb:ab25 & 10.232.28.50 - fe80::a812:82fa:11de:e4c7

in to a nice output in a listview with coloms and edit out the parts that i don't want and put it in a gui interface, listed up like this:

|         Time       |     Name             |     Initials        |      Network Drive       | Computer name   | Ip Address 1   | Ip Address 2  | 
2011-03-16 11:04:14   Bo Munch Jensen        bmj                   \\fs6\privat$\Ansatte\bmj   M11550           10.253.3.12      10.232.28.50

Having listet only the initials i've searched for, in this case bmj, and show the last 15 entries of his username matched to the computers he's been logged on to with the newest entry at the top showing 15 lines.

i was trying my best not to have to re-invent all the differnt parts my script is made up in to, thats why i added the confusment of files to see if i couldn't simply add a connection between the two, because the two scripts put together would do this function.

any help would be very much apprisiated

Cartoondragon,

If you transfer the data directly from the file to the ListView, it is much easier:

Hello everyone, seems like i managed to get it done, just needed to look more at what i was doing.

hehe didn't see that you made a reply before i got around to making my new version, gonna go take a look at what you made Melba23 i'll bet it's better than mine hehe

[CartoonDragon]

Wow Melba23 simply wow you are awsome! thank you so much, this looks wonderful

[Melba23]

Cartoondragon,

Glad you like it.

No questions - I must be getting better!

I know you don't like RegEx but this will do it too and it's shorter code

$sStr = "2011-03-16 11:04:14, Bo Munch Jensen (bmj), \\fs6\privat$\Ansatte\bmj (\\fs6\privat$\Ansatte\bmj), M11550, 10.253.3.12 - fe80::fdb3:c259:4bdb:ab25 & 10.232.28.50 - fe80::a812:82fa:11de:e4c7" & @CRLF
$sStr &= "2011-03-16 11:28:14, My Name (mn), \\fs6\privat$\Ansatte\gg(\\fs6\privat$\Ansatte\mn), M12050, 194.168.3.12 - fe80::fdb3:c259:4bdb:ab25 & 168.232.55.50 - fe80::a812:82fa:11de:e4c7" & @CRLF
$sStr &= "2011-03-15 09:52:08, Someone Else (se), \\fs6\privat$\Ansatte\se(\\fs6\privat$\Ansatte\se), R22050, 10.168.3.18 - fe80::fdb3:c259:4bdb:ab25 & 10.232.110.10 - fe80::a812:82fa:11de:e4c7"
;; $sStr above can be replaced ith a FileRead() call
;; In The regex replace below we just replace the parts we don't want with "|" which is the default separater for a listview.
;; The RegEx itself just reads each line (after the replace is done) to an array.  We can then just loop through the array to create the LVitems. I nested them but that isn't really required.
$aData = StringRegExp(StringRegExpReplace($sStr, "(?i)(?m:^)(.+),([\w\s]+)\s*\(([a-z]+)\),.+?\((.+?)\),\s*([a-z0-9]+),\s*([\d.]+).+&\s*([\d.]+)\V*", "$1|$2|$3|$4|$5|$6|$7"), "(?m:^)\V+", 3)
If NOT @Error Then
    GUICreate("Test Window", 600, 400)
    $hListview = GUICtrlCreateListView("Time|Name|Initials|Network Drive|Computer Name|IP Address|IP Address 2", 10, 10, 580, 350)
    For $i = 0 To UBound($aData) - 1
        GUICtrlCreateListViewItem($aData[$i], $hListview)
    Next

    GUISetState()
    While 1
        If GUIGetMsg() = -3 Then Exit
    WEnd
EndIf

Of course it can be tuned up with proper sizes and column widths etc.

Hey Melba23

i finaly got around to find something that doesn't work for me, i used your script on my log file (huuuuuge log file 10mb size) and then your script will crash. (that said i know my log file from time to time have som inconsistancies, but i don't see what would do this to it)

S:\Scripts\User Checker\melba23.au3 (66) : ==> Array variable has incorrect number of subscripts or subscript dimension range exceeded.:

If StringRegExpReplace($aLine[1], ".*\s\((.+)\)", "$1") = $sInits Then

If StringRegExpReplace(^ ERROR

it outputs data like it's suppose to, but then after 4-5 seconds the program dies and crashes

seemingly the error to me is that it wants to do this function to all of the of the logfile? while i simply want it to do it to the 15 outputs that i want to see

Edited March 16, 2011 by CartoonDragon

Cartoondragon,

it wants to do this function to all of the of the logfile? while i simply want it to do it to the 15 outputs that i want to see

How do you expect it to extract the lines you want to see if it does not run through all the lines in the file? The line in question extracts the lines of data with the initials you are searching for.

The error means that the line could not be parsed. So you need to do one of two things:

- 1. Ignore the line. Then you need to change the function like this:

expandcollapse popup

Func _Display($sInits)

    ; I seem to remember you only wanted the final few records for an individual
    $iCount = 0

    ; Work through file from bottom to top
    For $i = $aFile[0] To 1 Step -1

        ; Split the line into its separate components
        $aLine = StringSplit($aFile[$i], ",", 2)
        If Not @error Then 

            ; Check if the initals match the search
            If StringRegExpReplace($aLine[1], ".*\s\((.+)\)", "$1") = $sInits Then

                ; Build up the items in the line to fill the ListView
                $sItems =   $aLine[0] & "|" & _
                            StringRegExpReplace($aLine[1], "(.*)\s\(.+\)", "$1") & "|" & _
                            StringRegExpReplace($aLine[1], ".*\s\((.+)\)", "$1") & "|" & _
                            StringRegExpReplace($aLine[2], "(.*)\s\(.+\)", "$1") & "|" & _
                            $aLine[3] & "|"

                $aIPs = StringRegExp($aLine[4], "(\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+)", 3)
                For $j = 0 To UBound($aIPs) - 1
                    $sItems &= $aIPs[$j] & "|"
                Next

                ; Increase the count
                $iCount += 1
                ; If below the limit you want to display then display it
                If $iCount < 6 Then GUICtrlCreateListViewItem($sItems, $hListView)

            EndIf
        
        EndIf

    Next

    ; Mention how many were actually found
    GUICtrlSetData($hLabel, "Total " & $iCount & " records found")

EndFunc

- 2. Fix your log file so it does not contain lines which cannot be parsed.

Hey Melba23

i ended up going with option 2, need to go kick some guy at work tomorrow for putting in "sdfsdfsdfsdfsdf" (empty line) "sdfsdfsdfsdfsdf" in the middle of my log file, tested the new script you postet, worked like a charm ^^ thanks a lot Melba23 you really have a lot of patience.

[CartoonDragon]

Hello Everyone,

Trying to re-use Melba23's script to now search for the computer name in the program insted of username, but i belive it's an easy fix, but it didn't quite work like i thought it would. Changing the latest script by Melba23 to look like this but doesn't work.

        $aLine = StringSplit($aFile[$i], ",", 2)
        If Not @error Then 

            ; Check if the initals match the search
;----------------------------------The only change in the script------------------
            ;If StringRegExpReplace($aLine[1], ".*\s\((.+)\)", "$1") = $sInits Then

                ; Build up the items in the line to fill the ListView
                $sItems =   $aLine[0] & "|" & _

now in my mind, $aLine[3] = the computer name from my list, but it's in array format and i need it in a string, any good ideas?

Yep, figured out there was a single empty space infront of the text in $aLine[3]

[Melba23]

Cartoondragon,

StringStripWS might be useful then.

M23

[CartoonDragon]

Melba23,

sorry to bother again for such a simple thing, but i was thinking that you know a smart way of doing this, i'm using the following command to load my logfile in to my script:

If Not _FileReadToArray($LogFile, $aFile) Then

MsgBox(4096, "Error", " Error reading log to Array error:" & @error)

Exit

EndIf

But i want to put it in a function, so if it's already loaded in to the script, not to do it again, because i don't want it to read the logfile untill i push the button the first time, to save the initial load time, because i need to load 3 log files all in all.

Edited March 17, 2011 by CartoonDragon

[Melba23]

Cartoondragon,

The correct decision - keep SREs until you really need them.

M23

[CartoonDragon]

Melba23,

now that was a quick responce, but uhm... sorry but how would you make such a function to see if it has already been loaded, i thought i could check if there was something in $aFile with a simple command, like so:

if $aFile Then

MsgBox(4096, "$aFile true?", "Yes")

Else

MsgBox(4096, "$aFile true?", "No")

EndIf

but the answer is always no, the only other thing i can think of is to add another value and test if that is yes or no, like so:

If Not _FileReadToArray($LogFile, $aFile) Then

MsgBox(4096, "Error", " Error reading log to Array error:" & @error)

else

$aFileload = True

Exit

EndIf

if $aFileload Then

MsgBox(4096, "$aFileload true?", "Yes")

Else

MsgBox(4096, "$aFileload true?", "No")

EndIf

but this looks....like there is a much smarter way of doing it?

[CartoonDragon]

Melba23,

This gets the job done *facepalm* so unless there is something way smarter, i'ma gonna go with this i guess

if $aFile = "" Then

MsgBox(4096, "$aFileload true?", "Yes")

Else

MsgBox(4096, "$aFileload true?", "No")

EndIf

[Melba23]

Cartoondragon,

That is a perfectly good check. Another would be to use UBound and see if you get a return.

M23

P.S. There is an "Edit" button for each post, by the way.
