Get random LINE from txt

[Daywap]

Hi, I am creating script that would get random line from txt and make it to be inputed somewhere. How to do it? I am currently have this

$file = FileOpen("test.txt", 0)
$i = Random(1, 99999999, 1)

Random(line)

FileClose($file)

I know this sounds stupid, but please how to get random line? Thank you very much

We are still trying to answer your question here: http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=106288

Perhaps you could be more active in the discussion there, because we are waiting.

Hi,

although i don't believe you have an text file with 99999999 lines and it's hopefully not written by Bruce Forte:

$file = FileOpen("test.txt", 0)
$i = Random(1, 99999999, 1)
MsgBox (0, "Line " & $i, $line = FileReadLine ($file, $i))
FileClose($file)

#Include <File.au3>
$sFile = "text.txt"
$lines = _FileCountLines($sFile)
$sFile = FileOpen($sFile)
$line = FileReadLine($sFile, Random(1, $lines, 1))
FileClose($sFile)

you should read the helpfile included with autoit : C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\AutoIt.chm

#Include <File.au3>
$sFile = "text.txt"
$lines = _FileCountLines($sFile)
$sFile = FileOpen($sFile)
$line = FileReadLine($sFile, Random(1, $lines, 1))
FileClose($sFile)

Why is it not working? I created text.txt but it gets me error in 4 line

Its because FileOpen needs to be used with a mode.

#Include <File.au3>
$sFile = "text.txt"
$lines = _FileCountLines($sFile)
$sFile = FileOpen($sFile, 0)
$line = FileReadLine($sFile, Random(1, $lines, 1))
FileClose($sFile)

#Include <File.au3>

$sFile = "text.txt"
$lines = _FileCountLines($sFile)
$sFile = FileOpen($sFile)
$line = FileReadLine($sFile, Random(1, $lines, 1))
FileClose($sFile)

_FFPrefSet("general.useragent.override", String($line))

Can you help me?

[dantay9]

You still don't have a mode.

$sFile = FileOpen($sFile, 0)

Look in the help file for required and optional parameters.

I don't get it

What do you mean Manadar?

[Baraoic]

Ha sorry I know I clicked edit and fixed the mode thing. Anyways if you still haven't realized it by now the line

$lines = _FileCountLines($sFile)

should be

$lines = _FileCountLines($sFile, 0)

Why bother Manadar? He's been told to read the help file, but quite clearly stuggles at that task alone. SRS?
