how differentiate the commas inside parameters and commas that separate those parameters

[EntropicBlackhole]

One question, how do you differentiate the commas inside parameters and commas that separate those parameters
Example:
How do you differentiate this comma:

Send, Hello, World!

From this comma:

Send, Hello, World!

And can this be done inside a function too?, because I want to separate the commas in a TreeView Add function

ID1 := TV_Add("One, two and three", ID0, "Expand")

what do you mean by "separate the commas" ?
can you show me the final result you want ?

do you want to get the text ?
"One" and " two and three" ?

no, what I want is to not touch the text (One, two and three) at all, instead what im trying to do is deconstruct the TV_Add() into its parameters, however someone could put TV_Add("One, two and three", ID0, "Expand), but I want to sepearate the parameters, and of course by the commas, so I would have

Code: Select all

Name := "One, two and three"
Level := "ID0"
Options := "Expand"

however when I do that, it also separates the "one" and the "two"
so im wondering how AHK could tell apart the commas

looks like u need help with something unrelated to this thread. u shouldve started a new one

strip the function bits, run a Loop Parse CSV on whatever's left. it will handle the commas automatically

paste ID1 := TV_Add("One, two and three", ID0, "Expand")
into https://fupeijiang.github.io/ahk_parser.js/

Code: Select all

{type:'emptyLines', text:' ', i1:0, c1:3, i2:0, c2:4},

]

this might be useful

you can look stuff after {type:'functionName', text:'TV_Add'

do you need to use this in REAL TIME ?
do you want a CLI tool ? or I could update the website with a button: get args of function ?

I suppose you want to batch get the args:
can you show me the format of your stuff ?
is it like ? on many lines, or is it more complicated

Code: Select all

ID1 := TV_Add("One, two and three", ID0, "Expand")
ID1 := TV_Add("One, two and three", ID0, "Expand")
ID1 := TV_Add("One, two and three", ID0, "Expand")
ID1 := TV_Add("One, two and three", ID0, "Expand")

If this parameter is CSV, InputVar will be parsed in standard comma separated value format. Here is an example of a CSV line produced by MS Excel:

"first field",SecondField,"the word ""special"" is quoted literally",,"last field, has literal comma"

how do you even think of that ?

this was initially posted in the v1->v2 converter thread. not sure why it was moved/split because i think he was asking how we do it in the converter (which i dont remember off the top of my head)

yes I do need it in real time and I'd rather not have it request something from the internet, thanks

strip the function bits, run a Loop Parse CSV on whatever's left. it will handle the commas automatically

it seems like a good idea, but how exactly would I come to do this may I ask?

Nevermind lol, I managed to do it on my own, thanks for the help! my script is done now, thank you

I ended up with this function:

Code: Select all

TV_MakeTree(List, Del := "`n") {
	ID0 := 0
	Loop, Parse, List, %Del%
	{
		if InStr(A_LoopField, "TV_Add")
		{
			StringSplit, TVAdd, A_LoopField, =
			AssignLevel := StrReplace(TVAdd1, " :")
			TV := SubStrInBtw(TVAdd2, "(", ")")
			Loop, Parse, TV, CSV
			{
				if (A_Index = 1)
					Name := A_LoopField
				if (A_Index = 2)
					Level := StrReplace(A_LoopField, " ")
				if (A_Index = 3)
					Options := A_LoopField
			}
			Options .= " Expand"
			%AssignLevel% := TV_Add(Name, %Level%, Options)
		}
	}
}

Just have a list like:
ID0 := 0
ID1 := TV_Add("Fruits", ID0)
ID2 := TV_Add("Apples", ID1)
ID3 := TV_Add("Red", ID2)
ID3 := TV_Add("Hard", ID2)
ID3 := TV_Add("Circular", ID2)
ID2 := TV_Add("Oranges", ID1)
ID3 := TV_Add("Orange", ID2)
ID3 := TV_Add("Squishy", ID2)
ID3 := TV_Add("Circular", ID2)
and it automatically parses it and adds it to the tree

it's a bit weird that you would have to parse AHK in your AHK, can't the data be json or newline separated ?
it does look way nicer than json though (is this the reason?)
I also make my config in this form, then I parse it:

Code: Select all

something:="value"
path:="value"
var:="value"

or are you using executing this code AND parsing it ?
