Pulling data from text file

[CrzyBoy2599]

I am trying to write a script that will make about 2000 different batch files. I have a bunch of video files that I want to have a batch file linked to it so it can just open up in VLC. I have all of the file names already typed out in a text file and I need the script to write "START C:\Progra~1\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe -vvv -f "X:\Movies\***MOVIE NAME FROM LIST HERE***" and then just save it as "MOVIE NAME.bat". I am new to scripting and am stuck on how to pull the data from the text file I have or how to save it as the name of the file with a .bat extension. Here is what I have so far, I'm pretty sure i need to add some sort of variable but I'm not sure:

Run("notepad.exe")

WinWaitActive("[CLASS:Notepad]")

Send("START C:\Progra~1\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe -vvv -f "X:\Movies\")

;send movie name here

Send("!f")

Send("x")

WinWaitActive("Notepad")

Send("y")

;save as .bat file here

WinWaitClose("[CLASS:Notepad]")

Any help would be amazing and greatly appreciated. Thanks =]

I'm feeling generous today ... XMas spirit

Here you go:

#include <File.au3>

Global $MyFile = "your file full path and name here"
Global $myArray
_FileReadToArray($MyFile, $myArray)         ;read all the lines in an array

For $i = 1 To $myArray[0]
    FileOpen("X:\Movies\"&$myArray[$i]&".bat", 2)       ;create *.bat file
    FileWrite("X:\Movies\"&$myArray[$i]&".bat", 'START C:\Progra~1\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe -vvv -f ""X:\Movies\'&$myArray[$i]&'""')
Next

MsgBox(0, "Job Done", "Successfully created "&$myArray[0]&" batch files.")

You better try the script with a shorter file (just a couple titles) just to see how it works; after that you can use the big file.
