StringChunk

[erifash]

I have created the AutoIt version of PHP's stringchunk function. The function divides the string into equal pieces (with the last piece being anything left over) using a separation character (default is @CRLF). Hope you like it!

Func _StringChunk( $str, $chrs, $sep = @CRLF )
    Local $len = StringLen($str), $ret = ""
    For $i = 1 to $len step $chrs
        $ret &= StringMid($str, $i, $chrs) & $sep
    Next
    Return StringTrimRight($ret, StringLen($sep))
EndFunc

Questions/comments/suggestions are greatly appreciated!

EDIT: Speed improvement.

I'm slightly confused by your description -- does it find the length of the string before the first delimiter and then break up subsequent pieces of the string with the length of the first piece?

It doesn't find delimeters, it uses character indexes. Here's an example to help clarify:

$str = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
$chunk = 3
MsgBox(0, "regular string", $str)
$chunky = _StringChunk($str, $chunk)
MsgBox(0, "chunky string", $chunky)

I hope that helped.

Ooh, I understand now and this is quite handy. In fact I know just the thread to report this.

Thanks for the clarification.

Thanks for the compliment. By the way, what thread are you going to report this?

String Insert -- I'm Brain Fried

I'm trying to insert a hyphen in my string every 3rd letter or number... but every attempt I've tried for the past couple of hours has failed.

Sorry to resurrect an old topic but I find this function very useful at times. Also, I have optimized the code for a significant speed improvement so it is worth checking out!
