How do get the size of the array after stringsplit?

StringSplit,myArray,Clipboard,`n,`r
msgbox % myArray.MaxIndex()	; size of myArray

Use strsplit.

Cheers.

Just for clarity's sake:

StringSplit - OutputArray wrote:
The name of the pseudo-array in which to store each substring extracted from InputVar. For example, if MyArray is specified, the command will put the number of substrings produced (0 if none) into MyArray0, the first substring into MyArray1, the second into MyArray2, and so on.

Code: Select all

StringSplit,myArray,Clipboard,`n,`r
msgbox %	myArray0	; size of myArray

But as helgef has already noted:

Hi Helgef, I don't know what I'm doing wrong but I can't get StrSplit to work.

I try this:

Code: Select all

myArray := StrSplit(Clipboard, `n,`r)

but I get the "variable name contains an illegal character" error.

Code: Select all

myArray := StrSplit(Text, "`n","`r")

It's probably best to clarify how myArray will look different, if you use StrSplit (real array) or StringSplit (pseudo array).

StrSplit: myArray[1], myArray[2], etc...

StringSplit: myArray1, myArray2, etc...
