I have 2 strings that I'm trying to match, they are both in an arrays. I know that the strings are the same becuase I'm getting them from the clip. I can't seem to get them to match however:

Quote:
....parse each line from the clip into the array....

MsgBox %TempLines4%%TempLines2% ; this shows test`ntest
if TempLines2 = TempLines4
{
msgbox YAY!
}


Quote:
Clipboard:
test
blas
test
asdfasdf


what the hell am I doing wrong.

Code:
if TempLines2 = %TempLines4%

See the example in the if section of the help file.

Sweet that works, now why doesn't this work?

Code:
num := 4
if TempLines2 = TempLines%num%
{
msgbox YAY!
}

Code:
num := 4
if TempLines2 = TempLines%num%

The above code will compare the variable TempLines2 with the string "TempLines4".

The following will compare variable TempLines2 with the variable TempLines4:
Code:
num := 4   ; removing the ":" in this case is equivalent
if ( TempLines2 = TempLines%num% )


This is a common question for those who have newly found AutoHotkey. I responded in a previous thread with tips that might help.

Sorry for being such a noob, but I can't seem to get this working. I'm trying to cat the previously mentioned array into a string.

This works like it should, but it's not what I want:
Code:
dumpTemp = heya
Loop, 2
{
dumpTemp = %dumpTemp%%dumpTemp%
}
MsgBox, %dumpTemp%



And I can't get this to work at all:
Code:
dumpTemp =
Loop, 2
{
dumpTemp = %dumpTemp% Lines%A_Index%
}
MsgBox, %dumpTemp% ;shows "Lines1 Lines2"


Thanks so much!

I think you need to amke a few more experiments yourself to start understanding this...
Read the Variables and Expressions Topic from the Help File

I am trying everything I can, but the code you gave me doesn't work, I get a msgbox with the value of the 2nd index in the array, not the entire thing like it should. I read that portion of the help file, but I didn't see anything regarding what I need to do. Thanks!

A suspicious hint! I think of two possibilities:
  1. The first variable of your array is empty.
  2. Maybe the first index of your array is 0? A Loop begins with index 1, so your first line has to be in Lines1.

I'm 99% sure that the first 4 (1-4) values of the array are filled.

here is my code that pulls those lines from the clip
Code:
text = %clipboard%
count := 4
Loop
{
  temp1 := InStr( text, "`n", 0 )
  if(temp1 == 0)
  {
    break
  }
  StringLeft, temp2, text, temp1
  Lines%count% := temp2
  count --
  temp3 := strlen(text) - temp1
  StringRight, text, text, temp3
}


I still can't get it to work!!! Sorry...

Please try this:
Code:
text = %clipboard%
i = 0
Loop, parse, text, `n
  {
     i++     
     Lines%i% := A_LoopField
  }

String =
Loop, %i%
  String := String .  Lines%A_Index% . "`n"

MsgBox, %String%
Does it produce the thing you want?

The 1% is victory, because the first one will never be filled :?.
With your script, the Lines1 will never be write, because in the loop 4, where it should make the Lines1, the instr($$$$) will give 0 and the loop will break before saving writing Lines1.
Just add a line, like this:

Code:
text = %clipboard%
count := 4
Loop
{
  temp1 := InStr( text, "`n", 0 )
  if(temp1 == 0)
  {
    Lines%count%:= text  ; Add this Line
    break
  }
  StringLeft, temp2, text, temp1
  Lines%count% := temp2
  count --
  temp3 := strlen(text) - temp1
  StringRight, text, text, temp3
}

And then you could use my other script, or just use the Toralf's one.

I got it to work. Thank all of you guys so much.

I used toralf's solution for my MsgBox, and my own code for constructing the string. Thanks all of you.
