Removing Bunch of spaces

[31290]

Hi Everyone, 

I'm facing a small issue while trying to remove spaces at the end of lines contained in a temp file.

Indeed, I'm creating the list of uninstallable apps on my computer and display them in an edit box.

Here's the result:

As you can see, all lines have bunch of spaces at their end.

I did try the StringStripWS function, the StringTrimLeft one... no one works... 

Here's the code I use:

Func f_ListApps()
GuiCtrlSetState ($g_AppList, $GUI_DISABLE)
RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /c ' & 'wmic /node:' & @Computername &' product get name > %temp%\model.txt' ,"", @SW_HIDE)
$file =(@TempDir & "/model.txt")
$fileread = FileRead($file)
GUICtrlCreateEdit($fileread, 5, 250, 395, 400)
FileDelete(@TempDir & "/model.txt")
EndFunc

Surely a dumbass question but few hairs remains on my head

Thanks

How did you use StringStripWS? This function should be exactly what you are looking for.

Water

Indeed, this function will do the trick...

I tried:

$fileread= FileRead($file)
$filefile = StringStripWS ( $fileread, 2 )

And

$filefile = StringStripWS (ChrW(160) & $fileread & ChrW(160), 2 )

No successes :/

You are reading the whole file into one variable. Using StringStripWS on this variable will only remove white space from the last line.
Means:
Use FileReadToArray to read the file into an array, then loop through the array and use StringStripWS on every element.

Yuk, I don't like arrays  

Ok, I'll try that and give you an update.

Thanks water!

It's not too complex:

#include <StringConstants.au3>
$aFileArray = FileReadToArray($file)
For $i = 0 To UBound($aFileArray, 1) - 1
    $aFileArray[$i] = StringStripWs($aFileArray[$i], $STR_STRIPTRAILING)
Next

Ok, I understand the way and thanks for that.

But, when I display my edit box, I got a subscript error 

Global $editBox = GUICtrlCreateEdit($aFileArray[$i], 5, 250, 395, 400)

Probably nothing in your array.

Test it first IsArray()

[water]

You can't add an array to the edit control. Use:

Global $editBox = GUICtrlCreateEdit(_ArrayToString($aFileArray[$i], @CRLF), 5, 250, 395, 400)

johnOne, 

Thanks for your input.

Yes, the array exists and is not empty.

 

[31290]

water, I still have a subscript error :/

When displaying the array with _ArrayDisplay:

The array is not empty ^^

My bad, should be:

Global $editBox = GUICtrlCreateEdit(_ArrayToString($aFileArray, @CRLF), 5, 250, 395, 400)

Yeah water, 

This is now working as expected. Was looking to deal with the @error flag when I saw your answer.

 Thanks a lot again
