AutoIt Split String - string

I have a String like this:
Info1|Info2
I want this String to be splitted by | and a it should return the second Info and the first one.
So I want one msgbox displaying Info1 and another one displaying Info2.
How can I do this?
I already tried
StringSplit
But without any success...

Try this :
#Region ;************ Includes ************
#Include <Array.au3>
#EndRegion ;************ Includes ************
$str = 'Info1|Info2'
$array = StringSplit($str, '|', 2)
For $i = 0 To UBound($array) - 1
MsgBox(64, $i, $array[$i], 1)
Next
_ArrayDisplay($array) ; example

Add character between column combine in a CSV

I'm looking for the correct syntax to add some (") between my variable.
I need something like that :
"firstname","lastname","email","",""
Here is the first script I have :
foreach($line in Get-Content .\extract.csv)
{ $firstname = $line.split(';')[0]
$lastname = $line.split(';')[1]
$email = $line.split(';')[2]
$newLine = "$firstname - $lastname - $email"
echo $newLine }
I'm really new in scripting and I'm a bit lost with all these (') (")
My second question is : I need to extract my data only from the second row and ignore the first one, can you help me for this too ?
Thanks !
Have you try escaping your " and ' ?
In powershell you can use backtick ` (AltGr + 7) or doubling the char to do so :
Example :
Write-Host(" `" ")
Write-Host(" "" ")
Please add more code if this doesn't solve you issue !

Getting the characters of a string up to the first "."

I'm attempting to use Perl's gethostnamebyaddr function. The annoying thing is that it returns the entire domain name in scalar format. I want to parse out only the hostname and discard the rest.
I'm using split to divide the domain name into an array and then taking only the first value but this doesn't seem to work.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Socket;
my $name;
my $hostname;
my #tmpStr;
$name = gethostbyaddr(inet_aton("192.168.2.3"), AF_INET);
print "$name\n";
#tmpStr = split ".", $name;
$hostname = $tmpStr[0];
print "Host name is $hostname\n";
When the above code is executed, I get the following:
dc1-ent.ent.ped.local
Host name is
According to this website the return value is not a string but is rather a scalar value and so my attempt at splitting it doesn't work.
I can't figure out how to convert it to a string before I can split it or parse out the hostname by itself.
The dot character has special meaning for regular expressions in Perl, and the 1st argument to split is a regular expression. You need to escape the dot:
use warnings;
use strict;
my $name = 'dc1-ent.ent.ped.local';
print "$name\n";
my #tmpStr = split /\./, $name;
my $hostname = $tmpStr[0];
print "Host name is $hostname\n";
This outputs:
dc1-ent.ent.ped.local
Host name is dc1-ent
I would write it like this
my $name = gethostbyaddr(inet_aton('192.168.2.3'), AF_INET);
my ($host) = $name =~ /([^.]+)/;
say $host;
Your problem is not related to gethostbyaddr() but by what follows.
Proof:
DB<1> $name = 'dc1-ent.ent.ped.local';
DB<2> #tmpStr = split ".", $name;
DB<3> print #tmpStr;
(nothing printed)
Try instead using split that way:
DB<8> $name = 'dc1-ent.ent.ped.local';
DB<9> #tmpStr = split(/\./, $name);
DB<10> print #tmpStr;
dc1-ententpedlocal
DB<11> print join(' ', #tmpStr);
dc1-ent ent ped local
DB<12> x #tmpStr;
0 'dc1-ent'
1 'ent'
2 'ped'
3 'local'
Or if you absolutely want a string and not a regex, protect the dot also as your string is still parsed as a regular expression (which is why being explicit with / / has its merits, it forces you to remember that some character have special meaning there, like the dot):
DB<1> $name = 'dc1-ent.ent.ped.local';
DB<2> #tmpStr = split('.', $name);
DB<3> print #tmpStr;
DB<4> #tmpStr = split('\.', $name);
DB<5> x #tmpStr
0 'dc1-ent'
1 'ent'
2 'ped'
3 'local'

perl number of lines in a string

Using perl, is there any single command which give me the number of lines inside a string?
my $linenum= .... $str ....
It should work for when the string is empty, single line, and multiple lines.
You can count number of newline chars \n in the string (or \r for Mac newline)
my $linenum = $str =~ tr/\n//;
I've adapted #rplantiko's answer into a full subroutine that works the way I picture it, with handling for undef and "". It also knows about how the last line of text can be missing a "\n" and returns the apparent line count ( which is the count of "\n" +1 )
# should work on windows + unix but not the old mac
sub count_lines_in_string {
$_ = shift;
return 0 if( !defined $_ or $_ eq "");
my $lastchar = substr $_, -1,1;
my $numlines = () = /\n/g;
# was last line a whole line with a "\n"?;
return $numlines + ($lastchar ne "\n");
}
say count_lines_in_string("asdf\nasdf\n") ;
say count_lines_in_string undef;
say count_lines_in_string "a";

How can I get Perl string to keep its original formatting after editing it?

I am attempting to write a code that will encrypt letters with a basic cyclic shift cipher while leaving any character that is not a letter alone. I am trying to do this through the use of a sub that finds the new value for each of the letters. When I run the code now,it formats the result so there is a single space between every encrypted letter instead of keeping the original formatting. I also cannot get the result to be only in lowercase letters.
sub encrypter {
my $letter = shift #_;
if ($letter =~ m/^[a-zA-Z]/) {
$letter =~ y/N-ZA-Mn-za-m/A-Za-z/;
return $letter;
}
else {
return lc($letter);
}
}
print "Input string to be encrypted: ";
my $input = <STDIN>;
chomp $input;
print "$input # USER INPUT\n";
my #inputArray = split (//, $input);
my $i = 0;
my #encryptedArray;
for ($i = 0; $i <= $#inputArray; $i++) {
$encryptedArray[$i] = encrypter($inputArray[$i]);
}
print "#encryptedArray # OUTPUT\n";
The problem is how you are printing the array.
Change this line:
print "#encryptedArray # OUTPUT\n";
to:
print join("", #encryptedArray) . " # OUTPUT\n";
Here is an example that illustrates the problem.
#!/usr/bin/perl
my #array = ("a","b","c","d");
print "#array # OUTPUT\n";
print join("", #array) . " # OUTPUT\n";
Output:
$ perl test.pl
a b c d # OUTPUT
abcd # OUTPUT
According to the Perl documentation on print:
The current value of $, (if any) is printed between each LIST item.
The current value of $\ (if any) is printed after the entire LIST has
been printed.
So two others ways to do it would be:
#!/usr/bin/perl
my #array = ("a","b","c","d");
$,="";
print #array, " #OUTPUT\n";
or
#!/usr/bin/perl
my #array = ("a","b","c","d");
$"="";
print #array, " #OUTPUT\n";
Here is a related answer and here is documentation explaining $" and $,.
Those spaces in your output from $" (list separator) because you use print "#encryptedArray" to print that array, which equals print join($", #encryptedArray), therefore you could disable them by
local $" = '';
or you could join that #encryptedArray by yourself before you print it, just as suggested by #Matt.
Note that there is no need for such complexity. tr/// - also known as y/// - wil convert the whole string for you. Like this
use strict;
use warnings;
print "Input string to be encrypted: ";
chomp(my $input = <STDIN>);
print "$input # USER INPUT\n";
(my $encrypted = $input) =~ tr/N-ZA-Mn-za-m/A-Za-z/;
print "$encrypted # OUTPUT\n";

remove each third element in PowerShell array

I have very long string which I copy and paste from external program to PowerShell.
After splitting it (
$variable=$variable.split("`n")
) I received array from which i Want remove every third element.
What is most convenient way of accomplishing it?
I thought about loop from
0 to $variable.lenght()-1
and check if i can be divided by three, but maybe there is other way?
If you need to remove values any 3 positions (0-based: 2,5,8,11,14 and so on) in the array use something like this:
$newArray = #()
0..($variable.length) | % {
if ((($_+1) % 3 ) -ne 0) {
$newArray += $variable[$_]
}
}
$new=for ($i=2;$i -lt $array.count;$i+=3) {$array[$i]}
This will start at the 3rd element and get every third. Pipelined output is saved to $new.
$i = 0
$variable = $variable.split("`n") | ? {++$i % 3}
$new_variable = $variable | foreach {$i=1} {if ($i++ %3){$_}}
Or
0..($variable.count-1) | foreach { if($_%3) {$variable[$_]} }
