StrSearch & CreateArray errors

#1 · December 29, 2022, 12:02 am

Hi..

In online help as you see in the photo in explanation of StrSearch it says that it returns 0 when nothing is found which is wrong. It rerurns -1. Please update those information.

In createArray in description it says that you can use commas or line breaks, i have test it with commas and it does not work. It replace the commas with , and after that the app is not loads in web broswer. Any solution in that ?

Hi @smartmedia, both commands were added by Dave and I have not touched them. I will check them and let you know whats going on.
Thank you!

@smartmedia, I think the problem comes from the way the commas are replaced from the wizard window.
If you use the wizard window just be sure to separate items by a carriage return. I will update the documentation so this is more clear.
This works perfectly:

CreateArray [myArray1] "one,two,three,four,five"
CreateArray [myArray2] 1,2,3,4,5
Consolelog [myArray1]
Consolelog [myArray2]

You can also use this:

SetVar [myvar] "one,two,three,four,five"
StrParse "[myvar]" "," [myArray]
Consolelog [myArray]

This way you can use any character as an item separator, not only commas.
Regards.

Hi @luishp

I test this

CreateArray [SearchArray] [ProSearchResultProID]
ArraySearch [SearchArray] "[ProId]" [ArrayResult]
If [ArrayResult] == "-1"
SetVar [ProSearchResultProID] "[ProSearchResultProID],[ProId]"
else
AlertBox "Ενημέρωση" "Έχετε ήδη πάρει τα στοιχεία επικοινωνίας" ""
endif

The [ProSearchResultProID] has already this values (10,30,42) and when i run the code i get in console that the variable is not defined and i don't get any result in [ArrayResult]

@smartmedia please attach a complete sample app showing the isolated problem and I will check it.
Thank you!

I Solved, in the CreateArray [SearchArray] [ProSearchResultProID] he wanted quotes in "[ProSearchResultProID]"

Is a little bit mesh with those quotes on every command, by definition the program is not putting them, the same goes to setvar, he treats everything like numeric.

Again, thanks for your time and quick response.

@smartmedia note that most wizard windows allow selecting among numeric or string values.

@luishp

I thrilled before and i thought i solved but no. if i put the quotes in "[ProSearchResultProID]" i keep receive -1 as result.

The same happens if i try to add item in array. I created a demo app.

@smartmedia, please try this instead:

SetVar [itemsInArray] "12,18,22,33,20"
StrParse "[itemsInArray]" "," [SearchArray]
ArraySearch [SearchArray] "18" [ArrayResult]
ArrayAddItem [SearchArray] 8
Consolelog [SearchArray]

I think CreateArray can't be filled with content from a variable. It's just for manually entered data.
Regards.

Thats very bad news, is not useful for me, i need the array to take some data from my database. what is the purpose to take only hardcore data then ?

I could use StrSearch but he cant tell the difference between 12 and 120 in a string.

I check your solusion with the stringparse.

Thanks again.

@smartmedia not so bad, you have many alternatives.

what is the purpose to take only hardcore data then ?

Not sure, I didn't create this command.

I could use StrSearch but he cant tell the difference between 12 and 120 in a string.

Please use StrParse or JSON data from your database instead.

Let me know if you need additional information.

The solution with the string parse and search array have worked and i get the right results. Well done mate.
