Show array in MsgBox instead of ConsoleWrite

[prodesigner]

I would appreciate if someone show how to convert the result of this code to string and to show the result in MsgBox.

Local $aCheck[10] = ["a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f", "g", "h", "i", "j"]
Local $aIgnore[3] = ["b", "d", "g"]

For $j = 0 To UBound($aCheck) - 1
    ; Get the next item in the array to check
    $sItem = $aCheck[$j]
    ; Set a flag
    $fValid = True
    ; Now loop through the exceptions
    For $i = 0 To UBound($aIgnore) - 1
        ; If it matches clear the flag
        If $sItem == $aIgnore[$i] Then
            $fValid = False
        EndIf
    Next
    ; If the flag is set it is a valid item
    If $fValid Then ConsoleWrite($aCheck[$j] & @CRLF)
Next

I tried this with no luck:

$Result = _ArrayToString($aCheck[$j], ", ", 1)

Technically, just putting a MsgBox in place of the ConsoleWrite works just fine; you get one MsgBox per letter in your for loop, just like consolewrite is outputting one letter per cycle through the loop:

I am guessing, though, what you mean is that you're after one MsgBox at the end with the entire string, something like this:

#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

Local $aCheck[10] = ["a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f", "g", "h", "i", "j"]
Local $aIgnore[3] = ["b", "d", "g"]
$sString = ""

For $j = 0 To UBound($aCheck) - 1
    ; Get the next item in the array to check
    $sItem = $aCheck[$j]
    ; Set a flag
    $fValid = True
    ; Now loop through the exceptions
    For $i = 0 To UBound($aIgnore) - 1
        ; If it matches clear the flag
        If $sItem == $aIgnore[$i] Then
            $fValid = False
        EndIf
    Next
    ; If the flag is set it is a valid item
    If $fValid Then $sString &= $aCheck[$j] & ","
Next

MsgBox($MB_OK, "MyString", StringTrimRight($sString, 1))

Awesome, thanks.

Is it possible to replace string in this line 

If $fValid Then $sString &= $aCheck[$j] & ","

With an array

_ArrayToString($aCheck[$j], " ", 1, 4)

to get 4 results in the message box?

in before the good regexes show up

#include<array.au3>

Local $aCheck[10] = ["a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f", "g", "h", "i", "j"]
Local $aIgnore[3] = ["b", "d", "g"]

msgbox(0, '' , stringreplace(stringregexpreplace(_ArrayToString($aCheck , ",") , _ArrayToString($aIgnore) , "") , ",," , ","))

Thanks this one is interesting too. Additionally, to make the result shorter, is this the right way or there is a better one?

#include<array.au3>

Local $aCheck[10] = ["a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f", "g", "h", "i", "j"]
Local $aIgnore[3] = ["b", "d", "g"]

$work = stringreplace(stringregexpreplace(_ArrayToString($aCheck , ",") , _ArrayToString($aIgnore) , "") , ",," , ",")
$work_split = StringSplit($work, ",")
$work_array = _ArrayToString($work_split, ", ", 1, 4)
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", $work_array)

Exit

the right way will depend on what the actual data is.  As long as it is single characters and simple criteria you get to choose from 1000s of ways to skin it.

I am trying to get rid of the number 4 in the result, tried adding ,0 or ,1 after $sString &= $aCheck[$j] & "," no luck. 

 

#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3> ; for messages
#include <File.au3> ; for split path
#include <Array.au3> ; for tags


Global $Title = "One time is not enough, two times..."
Global $Title_Lowercase = StringLower($Title)

Local $aCheck = StringSplit("one two three four", " ")
Local $aIgnore = StringSplit($Title_Lowercase, " ")
$sString = ""

For $j = 0 To UBound($aCheck) - 1
    ; Get the next item in the array to check
    $sItem = $aCheck[$j]
    ; Set a flag
    $fValid = True
    ; Now loop through the exceptions
    For $i = 0 To UBound($aIgnore) - 1
        ; If it matches clear the flag
        If $sItem == $aIgnore[$i] Then
            $fValid = False
        EndIf
    Next
    ; If the flag is set it is a valid item
    If $fValid Then $sString &= $aCheck[$j] & ","
Next

MsgBox($MB_OK, "MyString", StringTrimRight($sString, 1))

Exit

It's the return count from your stringsplit, which you can disable with a flag.  Go slow, and use _arraydisplay liberally.

Got it, thanks!
