StringReplace & StringRegExpReplace Add Offset\The starting position of the search

Reported by: anonymous Owned by: Jon
Milestone: Component: AutoIt
Version: Severity: None
Keywords: Cc:

Description

would be very useful to add the "Offset\The starting position of the search" in StringReplace\StringRegExpReplace to work much more faster with strings

it seems that in xxx works really well and quickly, instead ddd does not work well in almost as if it does not work at all

Local $sFileData, $iString, $iTimerDiff

$sFileData =  FileRead(@DesktopDir& "\test.ini") ; test.ini = 10 Mb - includes inside, the string TestXXXX

$iTimerDiff = TimerInit()
$iString = StringInStr($sFileData, "TestXXXX", 1, 1, 2767600)
$iTimerDiff = TimerDiff($iTimerDiff)
ConsoleWrite($iString & " - " & $iTimerDiff & @LF)

$iTimerDiff = TimerInit()
$iString = StringRegExp($sFileData, "TestXXXX")
$iTimerDiff = TimerDiff($iTimerDiff)
ConsoleWrite($iString & " - " & $iTimerDiff & @LF)

$iTimerDiff = TimerInit()
$iString = StringRegExp($sFileData, "TestXXXX", 0, 2767600)
$iTimerDiff = TimerDiff($iTimerDiff)
ConsoleWrite($iString & " - " & $iTimerDiff & @LF)

2767692 - 0.00829366853445348
1 - 34.3946332855723
1 - 29.7493890330846

however looking at the speed of StringInStr, and also have this option in StringReplace\StringRegExpReplace would be really helpful

Sorry for my english

Ciao.

DXRW4E, are you using the latest beta? The regex compiler that AutoIt uses has been updated. Can you give that a go please?

comment:4 Changed 11 years ago by DXRW4E

Yes, I always use the latest Beta, where I noticed that StringRegExpReplace has been improved a lot about the speed in the Case-sensitivity Mod, however have a flag "Offset\The starting position of the search" in StringReplace or in StringRegExpReplace,
as in StringInStr and StringMid that working really fast, would be really helpful

Ciao.

analysing carefully lead me to this conclusion
as the example does not reproduce the return behavior of StringReplace
but itis true that the StringRegReplace divide bt around 10
so StringReplace internally it is good that it call StringRegReplace

the gain of introducing and offset is very limited some percent with very big string
so I propose not to add it but just implement the inernal call in StringReplace

Local $sFileData, $iString, $iTimerDiff, $iExtended
Local $sTestINI = @DesktopDir& "\test.ini"
FileDelete($sTestINI)

Local $iFactor = 1
;~ Local $iOffset = 1/$iFactor
Local $iOffset = 2767600/$iFactor

If Not FileExists($sTestINI) Then
	Local $hOut = FileOpen($sTestINI, 2)
	For $i = 1 TO 1000000/$iFactor
		FileWriteLine($hOut, "          ")
	Next
	FileFlush($hOut)
	FileSetPos($hOut, $iOffset + 1, 0)
	FileWrite($hOut, "TestXXXX")
	FileClose($hOut)
EndIf
$sFileData =  FileRead(@DesktopDir& "\test.ini") ; test.ini = 10 Mb - includes inside, the string TestXXXX

$iTimerDiff = TimerInit()
$iString = StringReplace($sFileData, "TestXXXX", "TestYYYYY", 1)
$iExtended = @extended
$iTimerDiff = TimerDiff($iTimerDiff)
ConsoleWrite( "StringReplace " & $iExtended & " - " & $iTimerDiff & ' : $iString lenght = ' & Stringlen($iString) & '    Extended code: ' & $iExtended & @LF )
$iString=0

$iTimerDiff = TimerInit()
$iString = StringRegExpReplace($sFileData, "TestXXXX", "TestYYYYY", 1)
$iExtended = @extended
$iTimerDiff = TimerDiff($iTimerDiff)
ConsoleWrite( "StringRegExpReplace " & $iExtended & " - " & $iTimerDiff & ' : $iString lenght = ' & Stringlen($iString) & '    Extended code: ' & $iExtended & @LF & @LF)
$iString=0

$iTimerDiff = TimerInit()
$iString = StringInStr($sFileData, "TestXXXX", 1, 1, $iOffset)
$iTimerDiff = TimerDiff($iTimerDiff)
ConsoleWrite("StringInStr " & $iString & " - " & $iTimerDiff & @LF & @LF)

$iTimerDiff = TimerInit()
$iString = StringRegExp($sFileData, "TestXXXX", 1)
$iTimerDiff = TimerDiff($iTimerDiff)
ConsoleWrite("StringRegExp with offset " & 1 & " - " & $iTimerDiff & @LF)

$iTimerDiff = TimerInit()
$iString = StringRegExp($sFileData, "TestXXXX", 1, $iOffset)
$iTimerDiff = TimerDiff($iTimerDiff)
ConsoleWrite( "StringRegExp with offset " & $iOffset & " - " & $iTimerDiff & @LF)

in fact the main problem comes from the case sensitivity checking
so only this will be fixed

comment:11 Changed 4 years ago by Jpm

I reopen it as the proposed solution is not working when a special character is included in the replacement string \ . $ | [ ( { * + ? #
so I will just modified the StringReplace doc to point to StringRegExpReplace as the solution to use the same implementation will need to scan input string char by char as the present StringReplace implementation does.
It is better that the specific pattern of StringRegExpReplace be the user responsability.
