Array Help!

[HockeyFan]

Hi,

Can someone help me with Array output? What I wold like to do is generate a list of local computer accounts and verify that a particular account exists. I have the following script that produces a GUI list of account names, but I don't need it to be output to a GUI window. Instead, I would like to test the output to see if a certain account exists within that list.

Is this at all possible?

#Include <Array.au3>
#include <Constants.au3>
#Include <String.au3>

$userNames = GetUserNames()

_ArrayDisplay($userNames, "")

Func GetUserNames()
    $output = ""
    $tokenStart = _StringRepeat("-", 79)
    $tokenEnd = "The command completed successfully."

    $PID = Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & "net user", "", @SW_HIDE, $STDOUT_CHILD)

    While 1
        $line = StdoutRead($PID)
        If @error Then ExitLoop
        
        $output &= $line
    Wend

    $output = StringTrimLeft($output, StringInStr($output, $tokenStart) + StringLen($tokenStart) + 1)   
    $output = StringTrimRight($output, StringLen($output) - StringInStr($output, $tokenEnd) + 1)

    $output = StringStripWS($output, 2)
    $output = StringStripWS($output, 4)

    $output = StringSplit($output, " ")
    
    Return $output
EndFunc

I believe there is an array search function. That should fulfill your purposes nicely.

OK...I do not have a firm grasp of Arrays yet, so could you hold my hand just a little longer?

How would I use _ArraySearch with the above posted script.

Sorry to be suck a pain and thanks for the help.

Like this:

_ArraySearch($userNames, "Jane.Doe", 1)
If Not @error Then
    MsgBox(64, "Search", "I found her!")
Else
    MsgBox(16, "Search", "No Jane Doe in array.")
EndIf

Edit: Tweak return method.

#Include <Array.au3>
#include <Constants.au3>
#Include <String.au3>

$userNames = GetUserNames()

$name = InputBox( "Usernames", "What name would you like to check?" );Gets a username to check
If _ArraySearch( $userNames, $name ) <> -1 Then MsgBox( 0, "", "Yup it's there =]" )

Func GetUserNames()
    $output = ""
    $tokenStart = _StringRepeat("-", 79)
    $tokenEnd = "The command completed successfully."

    $PID = Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & "net user", "", @SW_HIDE, $STDOUT_CHILD)

    While 1
        $line = StdoutRead($PID)
        If @error Then ExitLoop
        
        $output &= $line
    Wend

    $output = StringTrimLeft($output, StringInStr($output, $tokenStart) + StringLen($tokenStart) + 1)   
    $output = StringTrimRight($output, StringLen($output) - StringInStr($output, $tokenEnd) + 1)

    $output = StringStripWS($output, 2)
    $output = StringStripWS($output, 4)

    $output = StringSplit($output, " ")
    
    Return $output
EndFunc

Look in the help file for the return values of _ArraySearch to understand it better.

Edity: Beat me to it Psalty ;P
