read text in text area character by character and display character

[neazoi]

Hello,

I am trying to read text that has been previously entered into a text area.

I can do it by storing all text into a variable (like shown below), but I want to read the text now character by character.

That is, read the first character and do something with it. Then read the second character and so on. Untill the text in the text area ends...

How can I do this?

;Read text from input box
                Local $readedText = GUICtrlRead($idEditText)

Never mind, I did that with

;Read text from input box
               Local $readedText = GUICtrlRead($idEditText)
               Local $char = StringSplit($readedText, "")
               For $i = 1 to $char[0]
                  Local $play1 = "\alphabet\"
                  Local $play2 = ".wav"
                  SoundPlay(@ScriptDir &$play1&$char[$i]&$play2, 1)
               Next

Thanks!

StringSplit the text:

#include <Array.au3>

$aString = StringSplit("This is my saved string", "")
    _ArrayDisplay($aString)

StringSplit() used as below will give you an array with each element being a single character, You can then loop through the array doing whatever you need to with each character.

Local $readedText = GUICtrlRead($idEditText)
Local $arrayOfCharacters = StringSplit ( $readedText, "",  $STR_NOCOUNT)

Local $i = 1, $character
While $i <= StringLen($readedText)
   $character = StringMid($readedText, $i, 1)
   ;; code
   ;; code
   $i += 1
WEnd
