I can have it create a server.txt file when the initial data is collected. But I will still need to eliminate blank lines and organize the text to have the grid location. Man that gets messy too. I will need to include code to clean up the txt file.

I want see whether servers.txt contains any unwanted characters. Copy/pasting would not help and hence I asked you to upload it.

A text file would look just like the list. When I do a guicontrolget it looks like.

Server1
Server2
Server3
Server4

Then I do a loop parse and I get.

Server1,Grid1,
Server2,Grid1,
Server3,Grid1,
Server4,Grid1,

It looks good on the first grid location. When I move the next grid it looks like the script is retaining some data from the last rack.

It should look like this when I do the initial guicontrolget.

Server99
Server98

But I get this.

Server99
Server98
rver3
Server4

It is keeping some data from the last rack. I don't get it.

you probably need to clean out your variables (arrays especially). Can you post your updated code and servers.txt?

I am not using a server.txt file. I am entering the data with a bar code scanner. It gets populated in a Gui Edit Box. Then I retrieve it from there with GuiControlGet and parse the data to eliminate blank lines and organize the list. Here is the code from the Gui to when the data is written to a comma delimited csv file.

Your code snippet is hard to test because most labels are missing. You use GuiControlGet, why not Gui, Submit and pass on the variable that way? It looks like the servers= is not emptied correctly.

[Hedonist]

You won't be able to test the code unless you have a Windows CE device. The code works fine in Windows XP, but populates the extra data in Windows CE. I can try a Gui, Submit. I'm not sure it will help. You are correct, servers= is not emptied correctly.

[Hedonist]

I tried a Gui, Submit. I still get the same result. This tells me that there is nothing wrong with the way I am retrieving the data from the edit box, but something wrong with the gui, edit box.

[HugoV]

Perhaps add a ControlSetText to clear the edit control so that you are sure it is emptied before you continue.

[Hedonist]

That was a good idea. That is what I was doing with the server=. Unfortunately the ControlSetText didn't work either. I did a msgbox after the command and it shows that the command is blanking the data, but there must be something wrong with the edit field in the Gui. I need to use the GuiEdit because it responds fast to my scanner inputs. When I use a list box it takes too long to populate the data and I am already on to the next server name by then.
