Flagging Variable From Group

[scriptor2016]

I have a text file which looks like this:

one
two
three
four
five
six
seven
eight
nine
ten


My script will read that text file line-by-line. When the text in the A_LoopReadLine reaches three,six,seven and eventually nine, it should pop up a messagebox - but only for those four numbers.

However though, it works not. Simple syntax error probably, but as usual I'm unable to find the proper way to do it sing the desired variables in a group. Thanks for any help

Code: Select all

Group=
(
three
six
seven
nine
)

Loop, read, C:\MyTextFile.txt

IfInString, A_LoopReadLine, %Group% 
msgbox, %A_LoopReadLine%

try contains https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/commands/IfIn.htm

look at third example and make sure to follow it exactly because spaces matter

Hallo,
try:

Code: Select all

Group=
(
three
six
seven
nine
)

Loop, read, C:\MyTextFile.txt
	IfInString, Group, %A_LoopReadLine% 
		msgbox, %A_LoopReadLine%

or:

Code: Select all

Group = three,six,seven,nine

Loop, read, C:\MyTextFile.txt
	If A_LoopReadLine in %Group%
		msgbox, %A_LoopReadLine%

Hi, thanks to both of you guys. Really appreciated



I was able to get it going like this:

Code: Select all

Loop, read, C:\MyTextFile.txt

if A_LoopReadLine contains three,six,seven,nine
msgbox, %A_LoopReadLine%

which I suppose is much easier than creating a group.

However, the Group idea still won't work (yet) no matter which approach is tried.

Just a matter of sybntax probably, but the solution above is probably the easiest

ooops, nevermind - just saw Rohwedder's reply as well:

Code: Select all

Group=
(
three
six
seven
nine
)

Loop, read, C:\MyTextFile.txt
	IfInString, Group, %A_LoopReadLine% 
		msgbox, %A_LoopReadLine%

...and it works as well.

Perfect, thanks!!

Better use in instead of contains!
Try:

Code: Select all

Group = 3rd,6th,7th,9th
Loop, 99
	Ordinals .= Ordinal(A_Index) ","

Loop, Parse, Ordinals, CSV
	If A_LoopField contains %Group%
		msgbox, %A_LoopField%
		
Ordinal(Num)
{
    Static OrdList := ["st","nd","rd"]
    Return Num (Num ~= "1[1-3]$" Or !(Ord:=OrdList[SubStr(Num, 0)])?"th":Ord)
}
