fileRead for a "$var"

[Necromorph]

just looking for some tips on the best way to do this

i want to write information to at .txt, i use @ComputerName to separate all of my entries

is there a way to do a file read for the @ComputerName as a variable and say if it exists in the .txt then , msgbox an error?

This possibly the answer to the first part of your question:

#include<Date.au3>

$file = FileOpen("mytest.txt", 1)

; Check if file opened for writing OK
If $file = -1 Then
    MsgBox(0, "Error", "Unable to open file.")
    Exit
EndIf

FileWriteLine($file, @ComputerName & @crlf)
FileWriteLine($file, _NowDate())

Not sure what you mean about the other, but it sounds like "IsKeyword" might do the trick

Good Luck!
