Action Based on Found Text

[Jlomers]

I am hoping someone can help me understand something.

I have a script that grabs text from the screen and returns something like this
__
Balance

33.
39.
35.
204.
0.
33.
185.
286.
169.
__

I want to be able to take an action based on the line being a number greater than zero. So in this case it would take the action for all 3-6 and 8-11. but not 7 because it is zero. My thought is to turn the text into an array and then test each line of the array. However, I am not sure how I can turn the OCRed data into an array or if there is some better way to manage this task.

Any help?

Use the RegEx or Separate functions.

Here's an example. For the purposes of a working example I've hard coded the data to a label in place of where you'd get it from the screen:

Code: Select all

/*
Data:
Balance
33.
39.
35.
204.
0.
33.
185.
286.
169.
__

*/

LabelToVar>Data,strData
RegEx>\d*(?=\.),strData,0,matches,nm,0

Thank you Marcus, I found the same answer this weekend.

I had to learn what regular expressions were to use the regex command.

This pulled the data into an array and I could take action off the Array_1 - Array_x separately.

Regexr.com is a great learning tool I found. I believe it was referenced in a blog post by Marcus but the link didn't work any longer as I think it was separated into a standalone page after he wrote about it.

Just wanted to close the loop and add Regexr.com incase anyone had a similar question that might come up in a future search.
