Write Multiple lines from GUICtrlCreateEdit

[badapple89]

So I have read a few posts and tried different things but I cant get this working.

I have a GUI with a GUICtrlCreateEdit box so I can type in multiple lines.

I then want to write all these lines to a html file (as separate lines but all together in one block.

The whole script is pretty big, but but these are the bits of code im using.

$GUIExtraInfo = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 10, 65, 250, 80)

$vExtraInfo = GUICtrlRead($GUIExtraInfo)

If $vExtraInfo > "" Then FileWriteLine($Signature, "<span class=" & ">" & $vExtraInfo & "</span><br />")

It all works - and when I use a msg box to read $vExtraInfo I get the text entered as two lines.

But when writing to the file it all comes out on the one line.

I have tried stringsplit and a few other things but dosent seem to work.

Help appreciated

 

Brain wave. Do I a FileWriteLine(........) for each line entered into the GUICtrlCreateEdit????

Not sure how I would implement this.

#include <GuiEdit.au3>
_GUICtrlEdit_GetLine($hWnd, $iLine)

What do you mean by all together in one block ? 

Directly write the whole edit content into a file would exactly do the same thing.

Firefox I mean when my gui runs and I type

This is line one

This is line two

into the GUICtrlCreateEdit box

That it writes into the html file exactly the same, eg

This is line one

This is line two

That is to say I don't actually need to break up the lines and use them in different parts later on.

 

PlayHD, I had a quick look at that function not sure I understand how it works but I will play around with it monday.

 

Am I even using  GUICtrlCreateEdit in the correct way?

All I need is a multiple line input box for GUI and to write thoes lines back to a file.

If you don't need to have the line breaks, then make a StringReplace.

$s1 = "This is line one" & @CrLf & "This is line two"
 
$s2 = StringReplace($s1, @CrLf, "") ;this var will be written to the file
 
ConsoleWrite($s2 & @CrLf)

Br, FireFox.

Thanks for the help but used Play's suggestion.

$linecountExtraInfo = _GUICtrlEdit_GetLineCount ($GUIExtraInfo)

;If extrainfo has lines

If $linecountExtraInfo <= 0 Then

 

;For each line

For $i = 0 to $linecountExtraInfo -1

;Write the line to signature

FileWriteLine($Signature, "<span class=" & ">" & _GUICtrlEdit_GetLine($GUIExtraInfo, $i) & "</span><br />")

Next

 

Endif 

Cheers for the help though guys!

It seems like you described very well what you wanted to do *ironic*
