Hello,

How do i make a function that searches for keywords in a .txt file and return the results?
if anyone could make a simple example I would appreciate it

Thanks!

What do you mean by "keywords". Are you talking about look for words in a list - like you have dog, cat, moose on a list and want to find them, or do you mean hotstrings, or something else? Please elaborate.

Sry i havent really figured out how to make it. But the thing that I wanna make is like:

The .txt file:


Hehe, like a lot of words, where some of them have something in common, like "ahh" or "tie".
Then I want thease words, like an output that I can use in another script.

I hope you understand, my english isn't very good.

Thanks for replies.

Your english is fine. We're just trying to figure out what you're trying to do.

So you have a list of words, such as what you gave, Would you then have a list of "keywords" - "ahh", "tie", and the goal is to say which words in the list have the given keyword?

So the output would be something like



Am I on the right track? If so, regexmatch is the way to go - in my opinion.

Thank you, i'm gonna read about it now.
I hope i'll get it to work

Yes thats right. Then i want the words retrived.

I got an idear of making it now. I know this is maybe a stupid way to do it but that's all i know of.

I'm thinking about something like:


I hope you can understand. I haven't learn't any more effective way yet.

Like :



I think would be the best way.

Use a file parsing loop if you plan to look through an entire file

It should be like when i search for example "god", then i'll also get the word "dog" as it contains the same letters.

So you're doing anagrams then?? Nevermind regex isn't the best way to do it then.

I'm sorry.
I just want a function which checks if A contains the letters from B. If it does it could return 1 or something and if it doesn't it could return 0.

Is there something for that?

I'm getting a little confused now.

Not sure where you end solution is going but my Anagram program will do what you want.
program here
http://www.autohotkey.net/~peterm/My_Anagram-V6j.ahk

Simle instructions are here.
http://www.autohotkey.net/~peterm/Anagr ... 20file.rtf

dictionary if required is at
http://www.autohotkey.net/~peterm/Words.db

Too make the program do what you want.
Start program
Menu/dictionary/make new dictionary
This will ask for your text file.
It willl create a new file called New_Dictionary.txt
Now use
Menu/dictionary/Change dictionary
Select the New_Dictionary.txt file
Now type the letters you want into edit box e,g, HH.
Select command "All words with these letters"
and it will find you VAHOAHH and WOOAHH
Click Save Words and you have a text file alled Saved_words.txt.

A bit round about but perhaps does what you want (I think).
