Array Search

[Rammanan]

Hi all,

I'm really stuck on array search. Please refer the attach for array display. It select LSD_6_INCH_ENG but correct 

string is LSD_6_INCH. Please advise to solve this issues.

$Search = _ArraySearch($aRecords, $Recipe,0,$count,0,1,3,0)

@Rammanan
It's difficult to say without seeing the content of $Recipe variable

[Rammanan]

@FrancescoDiMuro

$Recipe = LSD_6_INCH

@Rammanan

Global $arrArray[12] = [12, _
                        "ENGINEERING_REWORK_FBAR", _
                        "LSD_6_INCH_ENG", _
                        "LSD_8_INCH_ENG", _
                        "CHOOI-Humming", _
                        "ENGINEERING_BUYOFF_6_INCH", _
                        "1213", _
                        "MOLOKAI_LSD_13_MIL", _
                        "LSD_6_INCH", _
                        "FBAR_6_INCH", _
                        "LSD_IDT_10MIL", _
                        "LSD_8_INCH"], _
       $strSearch = "LSD_6_INCH", _
       $intIndex = -1

$intIndex = _ArraySearch($arrArray, $strSearch)
If @error Then
    ConsoleWrite("_ArraySearch() ERR: " & @error & @CRLF)
Else
    ConsoleWrite("Index: " & $intIndex & @CRLF)
EndIf

No, Francesco was giving you an example.  The problem is that YOUR _ArraySearch is badly formatted.  Please refer to Help File, to understand each parameter.  Look especially at the sixth parameter...

I really not understand to work on array search. 😞

[Nine]

Try using :

$Search = _ArraySearch($aRecords, $Recipe,0,0,0,2)

 

[Rammanan]

Local $Recipe = "LSD_6_INCH"

     Dim $aRecords
        If Not _FileReadToArray("C:\temp\recipe.txt",$aRecords) Then ;(Read txt file at local c)
           ;MsgBox(4096,"Error", " Error reading log to Array   error:" & @error)
           ConsoleWrite("Error: Script cannot find C:\temp\recipe.txt file")
           Local $1open = FileOpen("C:\Temp\error.txt",1)
           Local $write = FileWrite($1open,"Error: Script cannot find C:\temp\recipe.txt file to read recipe")
           FileClose($1open)
           FileDelete("C:\Temp\recipe.txt")
           Exit
        EndIf

         _ArrayDisplay($aRecords, "Entries left in the array")
        _ArrayPop($aRecords)        ;(Delete last entry at array)
         $aArray = _ArrayDisplay($aRecords, "Entries left in the array")
        $Search = _ArraySearch($aRecords, $Recipe,0,0,0,2)
        MsgBox(32,'',$Search)

Return get -1

 

[Nine]

I thought it was a 1d array,  if not try

$Search = _ArraySearch($aRecords, $Recipe,0,0,0,2,1,0)

 

[Rammanan]

1d array right? But still get -1

[Nine]

Maybe some hidden characters (space at the end for example)...Check for that in your recipe.txt file.

[Rammanan]

recipe.txt file look like this. No space 

[Nine]

upload the file, i'll look at it...

[Subz]

Try a partial search, if this returns the correct index item, then as Nine mentioned there is probably a hidden character.

$Search = _ArraySearch($aRecords, $Recipe,0,0,0,1)

You should take a look with Notepad++, or any other text editor which let you see special characters like spaces, new line, and so on

[iamtheky]

Is it the same behavior on the LSD_8_INCH lines?  Or is this behvaior unique to the 6 inchers?

Those are just some of the myriad questions that abound until the source file is produced.

***to end speculation you could just run a stringstripws for leading and trailing (and maybe just trailing..)  as we would see all others in the notepad screenshot.  Unless yall know cool ways to hide shit in the middle of a string in notepad, which you need to show me.

Each line in the file contains spaces, so, you should do something like this:

#include <Array.au3>
#include <StringConstants.au3>

Global $arrArray, _
       $strSearch = "LSD_6_INCH", _
       $intIndex = -1

_FileReadToArray(@ScriptDir & "\recipe.txt", $arrArray)
If @error Then Exit ConsoleWrite("_FileReadToArray() ERR: " & @error & @CRLF)

$arrArray = StringRegExp(StringStripWS(_ArrayToString($arrArray), $STR_STRIPALL), '([^|]+)', $STR_REGEXPARRAYGLOBALMATCH)

$intIndex = _ArraySearch($arrArray, $strSearch)
If @error Then
    ConsoleWrite("_ArraySearch() ERR: " & @error & @CRLF)
Else
    ConsoleWrite("Index: " & $intIndex & @CRLF)
EndIf
