Troubled with _FileReadToArray

[Sodori]

I am trying to make a slave and a master system, however they are doing my head in!

Look at these two, for some reason, PrintaPC works with this line:

_FileReadToArray($file, $name, Default, ":")

But Mother does not! Reasons, that I can tell, is because PrintaPC had nothing yet in the questions and return. Giving me an error 3 and if I activate "$FRTA_INTARRAYS" as it desires, it leaves blank arrays. Can someone explain? This is beyond my comprehension!

Mother.txt

PrintaPC.txt

Sodari,

The Mother file has 2 trailing @CRLF - these are interpreted as lines which do not contain the delimiter and so the function fails as all lines do not have an equal number of parts.

You can test this using the $FRTA_INTARRAYS and looking at the arrays contained within the returned array:

#include <File.au3>
#include <Array.au3>

Local $aLines

$sFile = @ScriptDir & "\Mother.txt"

_FileReadToArray($sFile, $aLines, $FRTA_INTARRAYS, ":")

_ArrayDisplay($aLines, "", Default, 8)    ; Returned array of arrays
_ArrayDisplay($aLines[0], "", Default, 8) ; Content of array within first element of returned array

$sFile = @ScriptDir & "\PrintaPC.txt"

_FileReadToArray($sFile, $aLines, Default, ":")

_ArrayDisplay($aLines, "", Default, 8)    ; Returned array as all lines have the delimiter

So you either have to remove the surplus @CRLF from the file or use the internal arrays. Please ask if you have any further questions.

I do have another question, but I think you are not the one to answer that; How to remove gremlins from your bloody PC? >.< I did notice them at first, and removed them promptly!! And yet, here they are. But they are not in my Mother file... I don't know. Been such a long day it seems! Ty Melba, you old creature!
