Loop, read, %A_ScriptDir%\FileNo.txt
{
    n2 := A_Index
	Loop, parse, A_LoopReadLine, %A_Tab%
    {
        FileNo%n2% := A_LoopField
		sleep 50
    }
}

Now I need to apply these saved variable elsewhere.  How can I tell how many loops was performed?

 

i can only think of having an input box to enter in how many numbers was in the text file. However these numbers varies daily so i can't have an exact number every time.

I'm not sure which loop you're wanting to count, but if you just want to count iterations of the outer loop, I think this will do what you want.

counter:=0
    Loop, read, %A_ScriptDir%\FileNo.txt
    {
        n2 := A_Index
    	Loop, parse, A_LoopReadLine, %A_Tab%
        {
            FileNo%n2% := A_LoopField
    		sleep 50
        }
        counter:= counter +1
}

count := 0
Loop, read, %A_ScriptDir%\FileNo.txt
{
    n2 := A_Index
    Loop, parse, A_LoopReadLine, %A_Tab%
    {
        count++
        FileNo%n2% := A_LoopField
        sleep 50
    }
}
msgbox There are %count% FileNoX variabls 

I assume you just want to count the total number of times the internal "loop, parse" runs. You already have the external loop count in variable "n2".

 

Personally, I would use a real array rather than a pseudo array to store the data. When using an array with array.insert(Value), you can easily check the array size using array.MaxIndex()

maybe something like retrieving the max count of the loop performed and then saving that number into a variable?

thanks for the quick replies guys! i'll check out the codes and report back.

Both works and it's exactly what i needed it to do.  I still have a lot to learn and getting into arrays is definitely next.  Thanks for the quick tips guys!
