How To Read Text Ino My Script From A Text File

[ioliver]

Does anyone know if I can read text from a text file into my script as variables?

Ex. In VBScript I can do a readline, then use an array to seperate the text on the line.

Thanks for your help.

There is an included UDF called _FileReadToArray( $sFilePath, ByRef $aArray )

It's listed in the Helpfile under "Library Function Reference"

script example:

#include <file.au3>

Dim $iRecs
_FileReadToArray( "test1.txt", $iRecs )
If @error=0 Then
   For $x = 1 to $iRecs[0] -1
      MsgBox(0,'record:' & $x,$iRecs[$x])
   Next
Else
  ; error
EndIf

You need to update the file.au3 in the include directory on the following line because it has an error currently:

record 203 should read:

$aArray = StringSplit( FileRead( $hFile, FileGetSize( $sFilePath ) ), @LF )

Thanks, that seems to work ok. But, after reading another post on the forum, I think INIREAD may be the way for me to go.

Thanks again,
