Please post a file or text that you want to scan, and name the strings you wish to validate.

There are four strings that i want to validate if it exist in the file.

Do all strings have to be present to fulfill the condition? A more detailed description of your request would be helpful .

the attached is the file in which i want to check if the following text is present or not:

"DataMemory.hex in DATA MEMORY area  ...File successfully loaded."
"OTAServiceManager.hex in PROGRAM MEMORY area  ... File successfully loaded."
"OTAResetManager.hex in PROGRAM MEMORY area  ...File successfully loaded."
"DisplayModule.hex in PROGRAM MEMORY area  ...File successfully loaded."

as i need to validate that all those files are successfully loaded so i need all the four string mentioned, if not one of the file is loaded it should provide an error

"OTAResetManager.hex in PROGRAM MEMORY area  ...File successfully loaded."
"DisplayModule.hex in PROGRAM MEMORY area  ...File successfully loaded." 

None of these strings exists in the log file. You will find i.e. DataMemory.hex in DATA MEMORY area and File successfully loaded separately, but not as a complete string.

There are multiple runs in that log file, so there is an extra untold condition: all 4 lines should be adjacent and at the end of the file (I assume this is where the last run is logged).

The simpler would be to delete the log file after checking the 4 lines are there.  Listing them isn't hard:

Local $s = FileRead("log.txt")

Local $p = "((?:DataMemory.hex in DATA|" & _
    "OTAServiceManager.hex in PROGRAM|" & _
    "OTAResetManager.hex in PROGRAM|" & _
    "DisplayModule.hex in PROGRAM) MEMORY area  ...\R< File successfully loaded.)"

Local $a = StringRegExp($s, $p, 3)
ConsoleWrite(_ArrayToString($a, @LF & @LF) & @LF)

That should help you getting started.

i tried putting the strings in array and looping but i am unable to read it 

eg 

$a="DataMemory.hex in DATA MEMORY area "

$b="File successfully loaded "

local $search[2]=["$a",$b]

or $i = 0 To $search[2] Step $init
      ConsoleWrite(" files : " & $search[$i] & @CRLF)

 

it only prints the value of $a and not $b

thank you so much it is finally working , i am new to autoit could you please explain me how you inserted multiple strings , what is \R required and why there is 3 in the line StringRegExp and what is LF USED and why it is used

is it not possible to do using arrays?what is lacking in this could you please explain

the 3 is option $STR_REGEXPARRAYGLOBALMATCH  (see help)

\R is the escape for newline termination (that is @CRLF or @CR or @LF)

I use @LFs to make display more easily readable.

if ( StringRegExp($a, $p, 3)) then

   MsgBox(0,"msg","match",1)
Else
    MsgBox(0,"msg"," not match",1)
    EndIf

 

i changed a lil bit as i want a message box to tell that it matches or not but here the output says that it is not a match ?

got the issue , thank you so much for helping out.

I added a wrong message to validate the negative scenario it is still showing match, if i add an incorrect text  should it display that the text doesnt match.

Remove option 3 for your code to work, but ...

The pattern I used matches any of the 4 lines.  What you want is to match all 4 lines (in fact 8 in total).

In your case it's even more robust to look for the 8 lines as a single block.  I expect the order remains the same across runs, but I let the source files change as well as the checksums.

Local $s = FileRead("log.txt")

Local $p = "DataMemory\.hex in DATA MEMORY area  \.\.\.\R< File successfully loaded\.\N*\R" & _
    ".*?OTAServiceManager\.hex in PROGRAM MEMORY area  \.\.\.\R< File successfully loaded\.\N*\R" & _
    ".*?OTAResetManager\.hex in PROGRAM MEMORY area  \.\.\.\R< File successfully loaded\.\N*\R" & _
    ".*?DisplayModule\.hex in PROGRAM MEMORY area  \.\.\.\R< File successfully loaded\.\N*\R"
If Not StringRegExp($s, $p) Then MsgBox(0, "Error", "µC programming failed")
