Reuse array Topic is solved

[Ecimeric]

Code: Select all

Array := []
global AssocArray := {}
Loop, Read, MenuOne.txt
    Array.Push(StrSplit(A_LoopReadLine, ";"))
for index, element in Array {
    Menu, MenuOne, Add, % element.2, Function
    AssocArray[element.2] := element.3
}

Array := []
AssocArray := {}
Loop, Read, MenuTwo.txt
    Array.Push(StrSplit(A_LoopReadLine, ";"))
for index, element in Array {
    Menu, MenuTwo, Add, % element.2, Function
    AssocArray[element.2] := element.3
}

Function(ItemName, ItemPos) {
    Run, % prog.exe AssocArray[ItemName]
    return
}

How can I reuse AssocArray so that both calls to Function work? (At the moment, element.3 is empty for one.)

You could use a different variable name for the second array.

I had tried that, but element.3 is still empty if I change Array to ArrayB.

What are the two files?

[Ecimeric]

Both files look like —

Code: Select all

;Arrays;https://autohotkey.com/docs/Arrays

— but I only ever see Arrays with MsgBox.

Code: Select all

dir = %A_ScriptDir%
Global AssocArray := {}
read(dir "\MenuOne.txt")
read(dir "\MenuTwo.txt")
Menu, MenuOne, Show
; Menu, MenuTwo, Show

read(file) {
 SplitPath, file,,,, menuName
 Loop, Read, %file%
 { element := StrSplit(A_LoopReadLine, ";")
   Menu, %menuName%, Add, % element.2, browse
   AssocArray[menuName, element.2] := element.3
 }
}

browse(ItemName, ItemPos, MenuName) {
 Run, % "chrome.exe " AssocArray[MenuName, ItemName]
}

Thank you; the menus appear to be working as expected.
