Reading Text file and write into array

[Siryx]

Hey all,

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

$file = "D:\Dokumente\Tracklist.txt"
FileOpen($file, 0)
Global $arr
For $i = 1 to _FileCountLines($file)
    $line = FileReadLine($file, $i)
    $arr[_FileCountLines($file)]
    $arr[$i] = $line
Next
_ArrayDisplay($line)

#cs
_ArraySort($arr,
#ce

why doesn't it work? I wanted to use _ArraySort and let it be sorted alphabetically but I didn't even came that far.. 

I wanted to read each line then write it into an array with [linenumber] - line

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

$file = "D:\Dokumente\Tracklist.txt"
FileOpen($file, 0)
Global $arr[1000]
For $i = 1 to _FileCountLines($file)
    $line = FileReadLine($file, $i)
    ReDim $arr[_FileCountLines($file)+1]
    $arr[$i] = $line
Next
_ArrayDisplay($arr)

#cs
_ArraySort($arr,
#ce

 

my bad.. but how to sort alphabetically? _arraysort helpfile doesn't help me and google doesn't help me either :/

do I have to turn the first character into ascii or sth and then sort then make it backwards?

nvm it does it automatically.. lol

Maybe FileListToArray FileReadToArray is what you're looking for?

Wrong function posted

nah its all good, I have a txt and I wanted to read in the lines into an array, which worked, now I used arraysort to make it sort alphabetically  I found out by trial and error

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

$file = "D:\Dokumente\Tracklist.txt"
FileOpen($file, 0)
Global $arr[1000]
ReDim $arr[_FileCountLines($file)+1]

For $i = 1 to _FileCountLines($file)
    $line = FileReadLine($file, $i)
    $arr[$i] = $line
Next
_ArraySort($arr)
_ArrayDisplay($arr)

another question, if I want to send $arr[n] to browser, which command should I use? Send ?

I used the wrong function name in my previous post, I meant to say use FileRreadToArray instead.

​It depends on which browser you're using, AutoIt comes with the Internet Explorer UDFs that allow you to use it with IE, there's a FF UDF in the examples scripts forum, and other methods of using Chrome. Send is probably a last resort function to use, it's not very reliable.

That is a pretty vague question; it depends on which browser, and which control within the browser. 

Edit D'oh, too slow

​so I could have avoided "a lot" of work using filereadtoarray? damn ..  hmmm okay so I will search for something to work with chrome..

Siryx,

F.Y.I.  Please see comments in code...

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

$file = "D:\Dokumente\Tracklist.txt"

#cs

FileOpen($file, 0)                      ; this stmt has no effect because there is no variable assigned to contain the file handle
                                        ; the stmt would normally be written as "local $hfl = fileopen($file,0)"

Global $arr[1000]
ReDim $arr[_FileCountLines($file)+1]    ; these two stmt could have been expressed as "Global $arr[_FileCountLines($file)+1]"

For $i = 1 to _FileCountLines($file)    ; _FileCountLines again, start of performance issues...should be ubound($arr) - 1
    $line = FileReadLine($file, $i)     ; performance hog - each FileReadLine causes an open/close sequence when using a file name, as opposed to a file handle
    $arr[$i] = $line
Next
#ce



local $arr = stringsplit(fileread($file),@CRLF,3)   ; read the entire file and split on EOL chars creating array $arr

                                                    ; this assumes @CRLF as the EOL sequence.  The last parm of stringsplit ("3") means
                                                    ;     use the entire delimiter string as the split criteria and do NOT return a count of lines in offset 0

                                                    ;   I might have written the above nested expression as:

                                                    ;       local $sFile = fileread($file)
                                                    ;       local $arr = stringsplit($sFile,@CRLF,3)

_ArraySort($arr)
_ArrayDisplay($arr)

oh well.. so basically I made it overly complicated, and it's even more compressed than before.. Isn't stringsplit supposed to make arr[0] = UBound($arr)?

​can I integrate it in scite? I made everything as instructed but theres no automatic completion when I write _Chro....

About stringsplit: yes, StringSplit sets the 0'th element to the total count of split elements by default. (But you can change that by supplying $STR_NOCOUNT as the third parameter, see StringSplit helpfile: https://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/functions/StringSplit.htm.)

About integration in scite: yes, you can. It's a bit of a hassle IMHO, but certainly well worth it though if you often use the UDF in question. See here: https://www.autoitscript.com/wiki/Adding_UDFs_to_AutoIt_and_SciTE

​I didnt saw that 3 = 2+1 which means both flags are active .. but it seems like I can't change it to 1 bcuz it will fk the script up in a way i dont understand, lol. well better just use ubound i guess

Edited April 30, 2015 by Siryx

[Siryx]

now I got it, using 1 instead of 3 would sort $arr[0] to somewhere else. $arr[0] is then sth else and it fucks up because the amount of entrys in the array is now a string (in my case some songname starting with "!!!" .. :D

What? 
If there is a question in there, could you rephrase it?
Also, please read the helpfile for StringSplit to which I linked earlier (or access it from SciTE). It explains what flags 0, 1 and 2 (or rather $STR_CHRSPLIT, $STR_ENTIRESPLIT and $STR_NOCOUNT) do and it also holds an important note about splitting on @CRLF.

[Siryx]

not a question nah; I just wanted to tell that I understood and that I did
