I have a set of folder paths and a set of file names both in drop down menus. When a path is matched with a file the path is searched according to the contents of the file and three arrays are created. What is the best approach for linking this information together? Currently if a new file/path comb...

Thanks for the reply. I've now figured out the issue is to do with carriage returns. Still testing but using *t with fileread seems to resolve the problem.

I have some code that uses fileread to load a text file into a variable called index. I then parse index and look for errors. If I find an error I fix the error and build up a second variable called fix to contain correct lines and the corrected lines. I then compare index and fix like this: if (tri...

Thanks Rohwedder, brilliant! I had to scour the regex quick reference in help to work out how your code was working.

I have a string that can contain letters P, S and T followed by a number. I want to find the value of the number following each letter. This is the method I came up with: t := "P5S1T10" n := strsplit(t,["P","S","T"]) n.removeat(1) f := regexreplace(t,"\d") loop, parse, f %A_loopfield% := n[A_index] ...

[edited 2023-02-26 to remove redundant arrays]. I've found that making an array for each letter of the alphabet is a lot faster: now := A_tickcount Global pngs := [], snds := [], typ := [] Global fp := [], fs := [], fb := [] ;found pictures, found sounds, found both Global index Global Zet = 1 t = 0...

Thanks teadrinker, that works and will be useful.

I have a directory called store containing over 10,000 pngs and 15,000 mp3s. I have various text files some containing words one per line and some containing multiple words per line separated by tabs and or pipes. I need to create arrays of words in the text files that are file names for pngs, mp3s ...

Thanks for the reply, flyDman and your code. I initially had a problem with multiple lines but this seems to be working:

Code: Select all

fileread, test, D:\My test file.txt
for x,y in strsplit(test,[a_tab,"|","`r`n"])
	itm := (z := strlen(y)) > len ? (y, len := z) : itm
msgbox % itm " (" len ")"

Thanks for the reply. This seems to be working for me:

Code: Select all

fileread, test, D:\My test file.txt
pipe := regexreplace(test,"\t|\R","|")

lng := ""
While pos := RegExMatch(pipe, "(?<=\|)[^|]++(?=\||\R)", m, pos ? pos + StrLen(m) : 1)
lng := strlen(lng) > strlen(m) ? lng : m

msgbox, 4096, lng,% lng

The following useful code by flyingDman finds the longest word in a string variable: fileread, test, D:\My test file.txt While pos := RegExMatch(test, "\b(\w+)\b", m, pos ? pos + StrLen(m) : 1) strlen(m1) > strlen(res) && res := m1 msgbox % res But rather than finding the longest word I want to find...

Thanks, boiler, I didn't realise that.

I wanted to monitor how long the enter key or a picture control is clicked, so I used this code in my larger gui: pictest: ;this control is default so fires when enter is pressed enow := A_tickcount keywait lbutton keywait enter if (A_tickcount - enow > 1000) soundbeep msgbox, 4096, OK,% A_tickcount...

Thanks mikey, I had tried controlgettext but that didn't work - I missed the selected option in Controlget.

Thanks, flyingDman, I've just discovered that the solution you proposed works better for what I am doing when the day is an actual Saturday.

I mainly use notepad++ to edit ahk files and metapad to edit text. Is there anyway to use ahk to determine whether any text is selected in these or other text editors? Searching through posts I came across EM_GETSEL but can't find a reference for it in the help file so don't know if it is useful or ...

Thanks for the replies, I'm not using any scaling on this machine. The code: CaptureScreen("-1920, 0, 0, 1080", 0, A_ScriptDir "\test987.png") Gave me a black screenshot. I tried: CaptureScreen("1920, 0, 0, 1080", 0, A_ScriptDir "\test987.png") without the " - " but failed to save the file. I've tri...

I'm having trouble using this code by Linear Spoon to capture an active Window on my second monitor. I believe that the following should capture the active window to a file: CaptureScreen(1,0,"D:\test.png") The problem is if the target window is full-sized and on my second monitor the bottom of the ...
