Search a file for a specific line

Post by Ecimeric » 18 Jun 2021, 03:19

Code: Select all

Run, UsbTreeView.exe /R=report.txt
Loop, Read, report.txt
    ; Search for the line that is 13 lines after the line containing mountpoint "X:\",
    ; then search for the Needle.
    If InStr(A_LoopReadLine, "0x03 (SuperSpeed)")
        MsgBox, 64, , "X:\ is not running slowly."
In order to determine whether a device is running slowly (and because I cannot find a way to do so programatically), how can I search report.txt for the Needle in the line that is 13 lines after the line containing mountpoint "X:\"?

Or

Code: Select all

Filename := "report.txt", FoundAt := 0
Loop 
{
    FileReadLine, Line, % Filename, % A_Index
    If (Line = "") || RegExMatch(Line, ".*Mountpoint\s+:\s+\QX:\\E.*") ; Or RegExMatch(Line, "\QX:\\E")
    {
        FoundAt := A_Index
        Break
    }
}
If (FoundAt)
{
    LineAfter := FoundAt + 13
    FileReadLine, Line, % Filename, % LineAfter
    If RegExMatch(Line, "\Q0x03 (SuperSpeed)\E")
        MsgBox, 64,, % "X:\ is not running slowly."
}

Thank you, both; @Smile_: I could not get your code to work, perhaps because "0x03 (SuperSpeed)" is not at the start of the line.
