:CloseArrayGaps :CompactArray function to close gaps in arrays

Message

Hello,

I needed functions to close gaps in arrays

Sometimes I need to close all gaps
Other times, I need to close only certain gaps that I have created while leaving other gaps present

So first function you call with

Call :CompactArray YourArrayName

All element gaps will be closed, array must have a defined YourArrayName.ubound value and it will adjust the ubound to the new value

Next function is :CloseArrayGaps, which you call with your array name and then indexes of gaps to close, it accepts numbers as well as anything that my function GetIndexArray can take, example

Call :CloseArrayGaps YourArrayName 4 5 9
Call :CloseArrayGaps YourArrayName 4,5,9
Call :CloseArrayGaps YourArrayName 4,5-7,9

The specified index numbers must be ascending and non repeating, as I do not sort and deduplicate them before processing

Here is the :CompactArray function

Code: Select all

::Usage Call :CompactArray InputArray 
:CompactArray
set "_CompactArray_prefix=_CA
set "_CA_Input=%~1"
call set "_CA_Input_lbound=%%%_CA_Input%.lbound%%"
call set "_CA_Input_ubound=%%%_CA_Input%.ubound%%"
if "[%_CA_Input_lbound%]" EQU "[]" set "_CA_Input_lbound=0"
set /a "_CA_Index=%_CA_Input_lbound%"
set /a "_CA_Previous=%_CA_Index%-1"
if defined %_CA_Input%[%_CA_Index%] ( set /a "_CA_LastEmptyElement=%_CA_Index%+1" ) else ( set /a "_CA_LastEmptyElement=%_CA_Index%" )
:CompactArray-loop
if defined %_CA_Input%[%_CA_Index%] if %_CA_LastEmptyElement% LEQ %_CA_Previous% ( Call :MoveObject %_CA_Input%[%_CA_Index%] %_CA_Input%[%_CA_LastEmptyElement%] & set /a "_CA_LastEmptyElement+=1" )
if defined %_CA_Input%[%_CA_Index%] set /a "_CA_LastEmptyElement=%_CA_Index%+1"
set /a "_CA_Previous+=1" & set /a "_CA_Index+=1"
if %_CA_Index% LEQ %_CA_Input_ubound% GoTo :CompactArray-loop
set /a "%_CA_Input%.ubound=%_CA_LastEmptyElement%-1"
Call :ClearVariablesByPrefix %_CompactArray_prefix% _CompactArray
GoTo :EOF

Here is :CloseArrayGaps

Code: Select all

::Usage Call :CloseArrayGaps ArrayName IndexList1 IndexList2 IndexListN
:CloseArrayGaps
set "_CloseArrayGaps_prefix=_CAG"
set "_CAG_array=%~1" & shift
call set "_CAG_array_ubound=%%%_CAG_array%.ubound%%"
:CloseArrayGaps-arguments
if "[%~1]" NEQ "[]" ( Call :GetIndexArray _CAG_IndexList "%~1" & shift & GoTo :CloseArrayGaps-arguments )
if defined _CAG_IndexList.lbound ( set /a "_CAG_IndexList_index=%_CAG_IndexList.lbound%" ) else ( set /a "_CAG_IndexList_index=0" )
set /a "_CAG_IndexList_ubound=%_CAG_IndexList.ubound%"
call set /a "_CAG_index=%%_CAG_IndexList[%_CAG_IndexList_index%]%%"
set /a "_CAG_next_index=%_CAG_index%+1"
set /a "_CAG_IndexList_index+=1"
if %_CAG_IndexList_index% LEQ %_CAG_IndexList_ubound% ( call set /a "_CAG_next_limit=%%_CAG_IndexList[%_CAG_IndexList_index%]%%" ) else ( set /a "_CAG_next_limit=%_CAG_array_ubound%" )
GoTo :CloseArrayGaps-loop-end
:CloseArrayGaps-loop
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set "_CAG_localscope=true"
for /f "tokens=*" %%Z in ('echo.!%_CAG_array%[%_CAG_next_index%]!') do (
															endlocal 
															set %_CAG_array%[%_CAG_index%]=%%Z
															)
if defined _CAG_localscope endlocal
set /a "_CAG_index+=1"
set /a "_CAG_next_index+=1"
:CloseArrayGaps-loop-end
if %_CAG_next_index% LSS %_CAG_next_limit% GoTo :CloseArrayGaps-loop
if %_CAG_IndexList_index% LEQ %_CAG_IndexList_ubound% ( set /a "_CAG_IndexList_index+=1" & set /a "_CAG_next_index+=1" )
if %_CAG_IndexList_index% LEQ %_CAG_IndexList_ubound% ( call set /a "_CAG_next_limit=%%_CAG_IndexList[%_CAG_IndexList_index%]%%" )
if %_CAG_IndexList_index% LEQ %_CAG_IndexList_ubound% ( GoTo :CloseArrayGaps-loop-end ) else ( set /a "_CAG_next_limit=%_CAG_array_ubound%" )
if %_CAG_next_index% LEQ %_CAG_array_ubound% GoTo :CloseArrayGaps-loop
set /a "%_CAG_array%.ubound=%_CAG_index%-1"
Call :ClearVariablesByPrefix %_CloseArrayGaps_prefix% _CloseArrayGaps
GoTo :EOF

ToDo

Allow specifying .suffix
:CompactArray works on objects, :CloseArrayGaps does not because it does not use MoveObject
Maybe allow :CloseArrayGaps to take input of YourArrayName[X] format, in addition of arrayname indexarray
Support for arrayname.selection, to include indexarray along with the array itself in the .selection object

Here is a DEMO function called mini-DEMO

Code: Select all

As well as all the support functions for these demos

Note that :CloseArrayGaps depends on :GetIndexArray and :ClearVariablesByPrefix
While :CompactArray depends on :MoveObject and :ClearVariablesByPrefix
