[_ArraySearch] Fails finding text

[littlebigman]

Hello,

This is my first time using _ArraySearch(), and I can't figure out why it fails finding the line that includes "RESOLUTION":

Local $iReturn = Run($LINE, $OUTPUTDIR, @SW_SHOW,$STDOUT_CHILD + $STDERR_CHILD)
If @error Then Exit MsgBox($MB_ICONERROR, "Error", "Command failed.")
ProcessWaitClose($iReturn)

Local $sOutput = StdoutRead($iReturn)
;BAD Local $aArray = $sOutput
Local $aArray = StringSplit(StringTrimRight(StringStripCR($sOutput), StringLen(@LF)), @LF)
If @error then Exit MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Error", "Error filling array")
_ArrayDisplay($aArray, "From stdout") ;OK

Local $aiResult = _ArraySearch($aArray, "RESOLUTION") ;BAD
;~ 1 - $aArray is not an array
;~ 2 - $aArray is not a 1D or 2D array
;~ 3 - $aArray is empty
;~ 4 - $iStart is greater than $iEnd
;~ 5 - Array not 2D and $bRow set True
;~ 6 - $vValue was not found in array HERE
If @error Then Exit MsgBox($MB_ICONERROR, "Error",@error & @CRLF & @extended)
_ArrayDisplay($aiResult, "Found")

Any idea?

Thank you.

Without looking too much at your code - try to "manually" debug. For example write all data to console. Then copy it to new file (notepad or scite) and then try to search for that phrase.

littlebigman,

You need to set the $iCompare parameter to 1 - "partial search" - so that the script searches for the word within the text of the element. At the moment you are searching for a n element which has just the single word.

#include <Array.au3>

Global $aArray[] = [1, 2, 3, 4, ""fred - RESOLUTION"", 5, 6, 7, 8]

$iRet = _ArraySearch($aArray, "RESOLUTION", 0, 0, 0, 1)

ConsoleWrite(@error & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite($iRet & @CRLF)

Helps if I post the code!
