NiVZ Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 (edited) Why don't you keep the last line you read in a different variable, and only update your Edit box if the next line you read is differrent to the last one you stored, eg: $lastread = "" while1 $Aread=Controlgettext("chat","",4);----4 is the chat windwo control id which i got from autoit windwo info If $Aread <> $lastread then _guictrllistbox_addstring($list1,$Aread) $lastread = $ARead wend NiVZ Edited March 5, 2009 by NiVZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NiVZ Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 (edited) To add a code snippet you need to type the following: open square bracket then the word code close square bracket paste in your code then open square bracket forward slash (ie /) then the word code then close square brackets Hope that makes sense, Actually, just realised it might be better to include the $lastread = $ARead inside the IF statement so it only gets updated if something has changed - otherwise it will get updated every time $lastread = "" while1 $Aread=Controlgettext("chat","",4);----4 is the chat windwo control id which i got from autoit windwo info If $Aread <> $lastread then _guictrllistbox_addstring($list1,$Aread) $lastread = $ARead EndIf wend NiVZ Edited March 5, 2009 by NiVZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bam Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 well if you get all text in the chat box and make it = $CurrentText then compair it to $LastText (text from previous read) compair them and if thier different maybe string replace to get rid of the text in $CurrentText by using $LastText?
