Same for "B2" (which was on 5th row) etc... Hope it helps.

pixelsearch Posted February 4, 2022 Author Share Posted February 4, 2022 (edited) @jugador: there is a potential issue with the JavaScript native separator (comma) used in array.toString() to separate rows, with a fatal error in AutoIt script. For example, imagine there is a comma in any string of the column to be sorted. Let's change the string element "DD2" to "D,D2" and let's run the preceding script, this will happen : The script exits with Fatal error and Autoscript console shows : $o_SortData = A2,2,B2,5,C2,4,D,D2,0,E2,3,FF2,1 ==> Array variable has incorrect number of subscripts or subscript dimension range exceeded.: $o_Index[$iRow][$j] = $o_array[$o_SortArry[$i + 1]][$j] ^ ERROR There is now an extra element in the returned string and the pic above reflects it : 13 elements instead of 12 [i.e. 6*2 pairs] To avoid this, we could use array.join() instead of array.toString() and choose the separator we want. I think Chr(1) is not a bad choice (it shouldn't be found in usual strings) and JS will again return a string, inserting a Chr(1) at the end of each row of the array. This is a pic of the string returned : $o_SortData = A2,2�B2,5�C2,4�D,D2,0�E2,3�FF2,1 Then in AutoIt, we'll do same and use StringSplit with Chr(1), leading to these new pics : Now the results are correct, but the new pics need explanations : The commas found in the middle pic (for example "A2,2") seem to be always generated by JS to separate the "columns of our 2D pseudo-Array" though there aren't real 2D arrays in JS (after what I read) What is important for us is the LAST comma of each row, to catch the old index of the element placed after the last comma, for example : * "A2,2" had a row of 2 (after the last comma) * "D,D2,0" had a row of 0 (after the last comma) So we'll retrieve the old indexes in a new way, using StringInStr() to determine where is the last comma of each string. Here is the new AutoIt code based on Chr(1) separator : expandcollapse popup#cs #include <Array.au3> Opt("MustDeclareVars", 1) __Example1() Func __Example1() Local $arry[] = [6, 4, 1, 5, 3, 2] _ArrayDisplay($arry, "UNsorted") Local $x_Result = __ArraySortJs($arry, 0, True, True) ; col 0, numeric (True), ascending (True) _ArrayDisplay($x_Result, "sorted") Local $arry[] = ['D,0','F0','A0','E0','C0','B0'] _ArrayDisplay($arry, "UNsorted") Local $x_Result = __ArraySortJs($arry, 0, False, False) ; col 0, string, descending _ArrayDisplay($x_Result, "sorted") Local $arry[][] = [['D0',6,'D,D2'],['F0',4,'FF2'],['A0',1,'A2'],['E0',5,'E2'],['C0',3,'C2'],['B0',2,'B2']] Local $iCol_Sort = 2 _ArrayDisplay($arry, "UNsorted (col " & $iCol_Sort & ")") Local $x_Result = __ArraySortJs($arry, $iCol_Sort, False, True) ; string, ascending _ArrayDisplay($x_Result, "sorted (col " & $iCol_Sort & ")") EndFunc #ce #include <Array.au3> #include "RandomArray.au3" ; LarsJ Opt("MustDeclareVars", 1) Global $g_iRows = 10000, $g_iCols = 6, $g_aArray __Example2() Func __Example2() _Generate_All($g_aArray) _ArrayDisplay($g_aArray, "UNsorted", Default, Default, Default, _ "Strings|Integers*|Floats*|Dates*|Times*|R/C*") Local $hTimer2 = TimerInit() Local $iCol_Sort = 0 Local $x_Result2 = __ArraySortJs($g_aArray, $iCol_Sort, False, True) ; string (False), ascending (True) If @error Then Exit Msgbox(0, "__ArraySortJs", "error " & @error) ConsoleWrite("JScript: sorted in = " & Int(TimerDiff($htimer2)) & " ms" & @crlf) _ArrayDisplay($x_Result2, "sorted (col " & $iCol_Sort & ")", Default, Default, Default, _ "Strings|Integers*|Floats*|Dates*|Times*|R/C*") EndFunc ;=========================================== Func _Generate_All(ByRef $g_aArray) ; LarsJ ConsoleWrite("$g_iRows = " & $g_iRows & " $g_iCols = " & $g_iCols & @CRLF) $g_aArray = FAS_Random2DArrayAu3($g_iRows, "sifdtr", "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz") EndFunc ;==>_Generate_All ; #FUNCTION# ============================================================================= ; Name...........: __ArraySortJs ; ======================================================================================== Func __ArraySortJs($o_array, $o_Column = 0, $o_Numeric = True, $o_ascending = True) ;==== If Not IsArray($o_array) Then Return SetError(1, 0, -1) Local $iNb_Cols = Ubound($o_array, 2) If ($iNb_Cols = 1) And ($o_Column > 0) Then Return SetError(1, 0, -1) If ($iNb_Cols > 1) And ($o_Column > $iNb_Cols - 1) Then Return SetError(1, 0, -1) ;==== ;==== Local $o_CBlock = _ 'function GetArray(arr){' & @CRLF & _ 'var oArray = new VBArray(arr)' & @CRLF & _ 'return oArray.toArray()' & @CRLF & _ '}' & @CRLF & _ 'function NumSort1D(a, b){' & @CRLF & _ 'return a - b' & @CRLF & _ '}' & @CRLF & _ 'function NumSort2D(a, b){' & @CRLF & _ 'return a[0] - b[0]' & @CRLF & _ ; always [0] +++ '}' & @CRLF & _ 'function StringSort1D(a, b){' & @CRLF & _ 'if (a === b) {' & @CRLF & _ 'return 0' & @CRLF & _ '}' & @CRLF & _ 'else {' & @CRLF & _ 'return (a < b) ?

pixelsearch Posted February 4, 2022 Author Share Posted February 4, 2022 (edited) A second way to do it in JS, maybe simpler : * If original array is 1D, then we agree that we must use another separator than native JS comma as explained in the preceding post, because Strings of data are returned from JS to AutoIt (in the way the JS script is written), so it's ok to use Chr(1) as separator when 1D * If original array is 2D, why are we returning from JS the strings of sorted data + their old indexes ? Wouldn't it be better to return ONLY the old indexes, without the sorted data ? I just did that in the script below. So if we return only numbers (indexes) from JS, there's no problem with the native JS comma delimiter when 2D arrays. But this requires to create a new array while in JS (array named JsArr3 in the script below) and this new array is created only when the original array is 2D : AutoIt console : $o_SortData = 2,5,4,0,3,1 expandcollapse popup#cs #include <Array.au3> Opt("MustDeclareVars", 1) __Example1() Func __Example1() Local $arry[] = [6, 4, 1, 5, 3, 2] _ArrayDisplay($arry, "UNsorted") Local $x_Result = __ArraySortJs($arry, 0, True, True) ; col 0, numeric (True), ascending (True) _ArrayDisplay($x_Result, "sorted") Local $arry[] = ['D,0','F0','A0','E0','C0','B0'] _ArrayDisplay($arry, "UNsorted") Local $x_Result = __ArraySortJs($arry, 0, False, False) ; col 0, string, descending _ArrayDisplay($x_Result, "sorted") Local $arry[][] = [['D0',6,'D,D2'],['F0',4,'FF2'],['A0',1,'A2'],['E0',5,'E2'],['C0',3,'C2'],['B0',2,'B2']] Local $iCol_Sort = 2 _ArrayDisplay($arry, "UNsorted (col " & $iCol_Sort & ")") Local $x_Result = __ArraySortJs($arry, $iCol_Sort, False, True) ; string, ascending _ArrayDisplay($x_Result, "sorted (col " & $iCol_Sort & ")") EndFunc #ce #include <Array.au3> #include "RandomArray.au3" ; LarsJ Opt("MustDeclareVars", 1) Global $g_iRows = 10000, $g_iCols = 6, $g_aArray __Example2() Func __Example2() _Generate_All($g_aArray) _ArrayDisplay($g_aArray, "UNsorted", Default, Default, Default, _ "Strings|Integers*|Floats*|Dates*|Times*|R/C*") Local $hTimer2 = TimerInit() Local $iCol_Sort = 0 Local $x_Result2 = __ArraySortJs($g_aArray, $iCol_Sort, False, True) ; string (False), ascending (True) If @error Then Exit Msgbox(0, "__ArraySortJs", "error " & @error) ConsoleWrite("JScript: sorted in = " & Int(TimerDiff($htimer2)) & " ms" & @crlf) _ArrayDisplay($x_Result2, "sorted (col " & $iCol_Sort & ")", Default, Default, Default, _ "Strings|Integers*|Floats*|Dates*|Times*|R/C*") EndFunc ;=========================================== Func _Generate_All(ByRef $g_aArray) ; LarsJ ConsoleWrite("$g_iRows = " & $g_iRows & " $g_iCols = " & $g_iCols & @CRLF) $g_aArray = FAS_Random2DArrayAu3($g_iRows, "sifdtr", "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz") EndFunc ;==>_Generate_All ; #FUNCTION# ============================================================================= ; Name...........: __ArraySortJs ; ======================================================================================== Func __ArraySortJs($o_array, $o_Column = 0, $o_Numeric = True, $o_ascending = True) ;==== If Not IsArray($o_array) Then Return SetError(1, 0, -1) Local $iNb_Cols = Ubound($o_array, 2) If ($iNb_Cols = 1) And ($o_Column > 0) Then Return SetError(1, 0, -1) If ($iNb_Cols > 1) And ($o_Column > $iNb_Cols - 1) Then Return SetError(1, 0, -1) ;==== ;==== Local $o_CBlock = _ 'function GetArray(arr){' & @CRLF & _ 'var oArray = new VBArray(arr)' & @CRLF & _ 'return oArray.toArray()' & @CRLF & _ '}' & @CRLF & _ 'function NumSort1D(a, b){' & @CRLF & _ 'return a - b' & @CRLF & _ '}' & @CRLF & _ 'function NumSort2D(a, b){' & @CRLF & _ 'return a[0] - b[0]' & @CRLF & _ ; always [0] +++ '}' & @CRLF & _ 'function StringSort1D(a, b){' & @CRLF & _ 'if (a === b) {' & @CRLF & _ 'return 0' & @CRLF & _ '}' & @CRLF & _ 'else {' & @CRLF & _ 'return (a < b) ?

jugador Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 @pixelsearch I am glad that I asked for help learn new things. (JS with JsArr3 array) Console output: $g_iRows = 100 $g_iCols = 6 JScript: sorted in = 14 ms $g_iRows = 1000 $g_iCols = 6 JScript: sorted in = 43 ms $g_iRows = 10000 $g_iCols = 6 JScript: sorted in = 394 ms $g_iRows = 100000 $g_iCols = 6 JScript: sorted in = 5026 ms $g_iRows = 200000 $g_iCols = 6 JScript: sorted in = 10705 ms so latest script runs faster pixelsearch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixelsearch Posted February 13, 2022 Author Share Posted February 13, 2022 (edited) Hi everybody, I'm actually working on the following C++ code to quickly sort a column of strings (or numerals) in an AutoIt array. An empty structure declared in the AutoIt calling script is filled by this C++ code. It will contain the indexes of each sorted element position in the array... before the sort. The splitting of sbigdata is done with basic string instructions to separate each element from the other. Separator used in the calling program is Chr(1) . The C instruction strtok has gone because it caused some random memory issues, I probably used it wrong. Now that it's gone I got no more memory issues, speed is the same as when I was using it... and I learned how to use a vector of structs... at least the very basic part #include <algorithm> // sort #include <string> // string #include <vector> // vector // String sort : functions & structure declaration int sort_alpha (char* sbigdata, int* struct_indexes, char* sdelim, int irows, int isense); struct struct_alpha { std::string data; int index; }; bool sort_alpha_asc (const struct_alpha& v1, const struct_alpha& v2) { return v1.data < v2.data; } bool sort_alpha_desc (const struct_alpha& v1, const struct_alpha& v2) { return v1.data > v2.data; } // Num sort : functions & structure declaration int sort_num (char* sbigdata, int* struct_indexes, char* sdelim, int irows, int isense); struct struct_num { double data; int index; }; bool sort_num_asc (const struct_num& v1, const struct_num& v2) { return v1.data < v2.data; } bool sort_num_desc (const struct_num& v1, const struct_num& v2) { return v1.data > v2.data; } // ================================================================================= // dll entry point (function to call depends on itype parameter) // itype value already checked by calling function "sortall.au3" extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) int sortall (char* sbigdata, int* struct_indexes, char* sdelim, int irows, int isense, int itype) { int iret0 = 0, iret1 = 0; if (itype==0) iret0 = sort_alpha (sbigdata, struct_indexes, sdelim, irows, isense); else if (itype==1) iret1 = sort_num (sbigdata, struct_indexes, sdelim, irows, isense); return (iret0 + iret1); // 0 when no error in any function called } // ================================================================================= // String sort int sort_alpha (char* sbigdata, int* struct_indexes, char* sdelim, int irows, int isense) { std::vector<struct_alpha> vect(irows); // irows (and 2 cols from struct_alpha) std::string str = sbigdata; size_t ifound = 0; size_t ipos = 0; for (int i = 0; i < irows; i++) { ifound = str.find(sdelim, ipos); vect[i].data = str.substr(ipos, ifound - ipos); // string vect[i].index = i; // row (to remember initial index before data sorting) ipos = ifound + 1; } std::sort(vect.begin(), vect.end(), ((isense == 0) ? sort_alpha_asc : sort_alpha_desc)); for (int i = 0; i < irows; i++) *(struct_indexes + i) = vect[i].index; // index of sorted data... before data sorting // swap trick to release memory used by the string (str = "" wouldn't release anything) std::string("").swap(str); // swap trick to release memory used by the vector : std::vector<struct_alpha>().swap(vect); return 0; } // Numeric sort int sort_num (char* sbigdata, int* struct_indexes, char* sdelim, int irows, int isense) { std::vector<struct_num> vect(irows); // irows (and 2 cols from struct_num) std::string str = sbigdata; std::string sfound; size_t ifound = 0; size_t ipos = 0; for (int i = 0; i < irows; i++) { ifound = str.find(sdelim, ipos); sfound = str.substr(ipos, ifound - ipos); vect[i].data = atof(sfound.c_str()); // convert string to double // .c_str() for this atof() or compile error vect[i].index = i; // row (to remember initial index before data sorting) ipos = ifound + 1; } std::sort(vect.begin(), vect.end(), ((isense == 0) ? sort_num_asc : sort_num_desc)); for (int i = 0; i < irows; i++) *(struct_indexes + i) = vect[i].index; // index of sorted data... before data sorting // swap trick to release memory used by the string (str = "" wouldn't release anything) std::string("").swap(str); // swap trick to release memory used by the vector : std::vector<struct_num>().swap(vect); return 0; } I hope the arguments are passed correctly from sortall() , which is the dll entry point, to the called functions sort_alpha() and sort_num() . No argument is passed by reference because the 5 arguments passed from sortall() are 3 pointers and 2 integers. If you guys think it's not correct, please let me know, thank you. Next step should be to add, in this same dll, a function for Natural sort... if possible. Concerning the Natural sort, I found 2 interesting C / C++ codes on the web, one from Martin Pool, the other one from Dave Koelle (reworked by Dirk Jagdmann), we'll see.

For readers who are interested and got a compiler, you should be able to compile the C++ code of the preceding post, then place the resulting dll (named "sortall.dll") in one of the folders of your PATH environment (or in the folder of the test file "test.au3") If the dll isn't found in one of these folders, then this error will appear when you run the test file : Personally, I placed the dll in my Windows folder (which isn't really recommended) and the include file... in AutoIt's include files folder, which isn't recommended either ! I'll probably change that soon. Good luck.

pixelsearch Posted February 20, 2022 Author Share Posted February 20, 2022 (edited) Good news, the part concerning the C++ natural sort is ready. Natural means you want your sort to go like this : a1 a4 a10 a20 a100 and not like that : a1 a10 a100 a20 a4 Now the C++ code calls directly the Windows function StrCmpLogicalW (found in "shlwapi.dll"), it's incredibly fast and amazing. I started slowly with 5 hard-coded elements and a basic console output in CodeBlocks IDE, to see if I was able to do it, with the code below, named "blood, sweat & tears" (for the connection with the function StrCmpLogicalW) #include <windows.h> #include <algorithm> // sort #include <string> #include <vector> #include <iostream> /* Original StrCmpLogicalW function found in shlwapi.dll int StrCmpLogicalW( [in] PCWSTR psz1, [in] PCWSTR psz2 ); */ // create a matching typedef for the function pointer // typedef INT (CALLBACK* LPFNDLLFUNC1)(PCWSTR, PCWSTR); typedef int (__stdcall* pfunc)(const wchar_t*, const wchar_t*); HINSTANCE hDLL; // Handle to DLL pfunc StrCmpLogicalW; // Function pointer // PCWSTR par1, par2; // Parameters of the function // INT returnval; // Function return bool naturalcomp(const std::wstring& v1, const std::wstring& v2) { return StrCmpLogicalW(v1.c_str(), v2.c_str()) < 0; } int main() { hDLL = LoadLibrary("shlwapi.dll"); if (hDLL == NULL) { std::cout << "Can't open shlwapi.dll \n"; return - 1; } StrCmpLogicalW = (pfunc)GetProcAddress(hDLL, "StrCmpLogicalW"); if (!StrCmpLogicalW) { std::cout << "Function 'StrCmpLogicalW' not found in shlwapi.dll \n"; FreeLibrary(hDLL); return - 2; } int irows = 5; std::vector<std::wstring> vect(irows); vect[0] = L"a10"; vect[1] = L"a1"; vect[2] = L"a100"; vect[3] = L"a20"; vect[4] = L"a4"; std::sort(vect.begin(), vect.end(), naturalcomp); for (int i=0; i<irows; i++) std::wcout << vect[i] << std::endl; // Console : a1 a4 a10 a20 a100 <===== yes ! // swap trick to release memory used by the vector : std::vector<std::wstring>().swap(vect); FreeLibrary(hDLL); return 0; } When I saw that the 5 elements were correctly "naturally" sorted, then bingo, let's move a step further and prepare a dll for that. The function returns to AutoIt a structure containing only indexes (the "old" rows of each string, before the sort takes place). Here is the C++ code for creating the dll, based on a vector of structure : 1 member named "data" takes care of the wide strings wchar_t [mandatory for StrCmpLogicalW], the 2nd member named "index" takes care of... the indexes. #include <windows.h> #include <algorithm> // sort #include <string> // string #include <vector> // vector /* Original StrCmpLogicalW function found in shlwapi.dll int StrCmpLogicalW( [in] PCWSTR psz1, [in] PCWSTR psz2 ); */ // create a matching typedef for the function pointer // typedef INT (CALLBACK* LPFNDLLFUNC1)(PCWSTR, PCWSTR); typedef int (__stdcall* pfunc)(const wchar_t*, const wchar_t*); HINSTANCE hDLL; // Handle to DLL pfunc StrCmpLogicalW; // Function pointer struct struct_natural { std::wstring data; int index; }; bool sort_natural_asc (const struct_natural& v1, const struct_natural& v2) { return StrCmpLogicalW(v1.data.c_str(), v2.data.c_str()) < 0; } bool sort_natural_desc (const struct_natural& v1, const struct_natural& v2) { return StrCmpLogicalW(v1.data.c_str(), v2.data.c_str()) > 0; } extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) int NaturalSort_03 (wchar_t* sbigdata, int* struct_indexes, wchar_t* sdelim, int irows, int isense) { hDLL = LoadLibrary("shlwapi.dll"); if (hDLL == NULL) return - 1; StrCmpLogicalW = (pfunc)GetProcAddress(hDLL, "StrCmpLogicalW"); if (!StrCmpLogicalW) { FreeLibrary(hDLL); return - 2; } std::vector<struct_natural> vect(irows); // irows (and 2 cols from struct_natural) std::wstring str = sbigdata; size_t ifound = 0, ipos = 0; for (int i = 0; i < irows; i++) { ifound = str.find(sdelim, ipos); vect[i].data = str.substr(ipos, ifound - ipos); // wide string vect[i].index = i; // row (to remember initial index before data sorting) ipos = ifound + 1; } std::sort(vect.begin(), vect.end(), ((isense == 0) ? sort_natural_asc : sort_natural_desc)); for (int i = 0; i < irows; i++) *(struct_indexes + i) = vect[i].index; // index of sorted data... before data sorting //swap trick to release memory used by the string (str = L"" wouldn't release anything) std::wstring(L"").swap(str); // swap trick to release memory used by the vector : std::vector<struct_natural>().swap(vect); FreeLibrary(hDLL); return 0; } Next (and last) step should be to combine the 3 kind of sorts (string, numeric, natural) in the same dll named "sortall.dll", which is related to the include file "sortall.au3" as discussed in the precedent post. Actually "sortall.dll" contains 2 kind of sorts (string and numeric), let's add the 3rd kind, the natural one.

EndFunc ;==>_Generate_All Though all the above has nothing to do with _ArrayDisplay beta (which uses a virtual listview), I personally "linked" a part of it to _ArrayDisplay, so I can also sort in ArrayDisplay 10 times faster than the beta, when clicking on a column header to create the appropriate sort index. @jpm, in case you're interested, I'll present you by PM the code I added. Basically, in case of calling __ArrayDisplay_SortArrayStruct() to return the index (as in the original beta), I call a new function named __ArrayDisplay_SortArrayStruct2() to return the same index, through the dll. If for any reason the index can't be created (maybe the dll is missing), then there is an automatical transition to your function, so it looks safe. Any @error returned by __ArrayDisplay_SortArrayStruct2() will chain to the original function __ArrayDisplay_SortArrayStruct() . During my tests it didn't happen, I had to force errors to get the "smooth transition". Func __ArrayDisplay_GetSortColStruct(Const ByRef $aArray, $iCol) ... ;~ Return __ArrayDisplay_SortArrayStruct($aArray, $iCol) Local $tIndex = __ArrayDisplay_SortArrayStruct2($aArray, $iCol) If VarGetType($tIndex) = "DLLStruct" Then Return $tIndex Else ; any @error returned involving sortall.dll Return __ArrayDisplay_SortArrayStruct($aArray, $iCol) ; chain smoothly with jpm's original function EndIf EndFunc ;==>__ArrayDisplay_GetSortColStruct Thanks for reading and have a great day Edit: I forgot... hats off to the developer(s) who scripted DebugArrayDisplay. It helped me a lot, by copying the sorted data generated by the dll, place it in a text file a.txt Then a click on a column header to have it sorted again, but now through the original code of the beta, copying the new sorted data and placing it in a text file b.txt Finally comparing both text files a.txt and b.txt to make sure the sortings were correct. So bravo to anyone who was involved in the creation of DebugArrayDisplay Let's not forget LarsJ's "RandomArray.au3" which is a big help when tests are needed. Update: Feb 22, 2022 : * Default Sort type changed from Numeric to Natural * Fixed String sort involving Unicode characters * Stable Sort in C++ code (instead of Unstable Sort) * Only 1 DllCall in SortAll.au3 * Only 1 point of entry in SortAll.dll Update: Feb 26, 2022 : * Warning when sort requested and array got 0 row * Release the resources used by structure $tStruct2 Update: Mar 6, 2022 : * User can choose between C++ Unstable / Stable Sort (new parameter) Update: Mar 19, 2022 : * Added a 2nd way for Natural sorting (LarsJ's index creation adapted to C++) Update: Mar 10, 2023 : * Minor update in "SortAll.au3" Edited March 9, 2023 by pixelsearch Code updated (details above) Musashi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
