Stalkers Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 All I'm trying to do is read from a text file. & Display in a message Box. But Every time I run it, All I get is "Unable to Open File". Any Ideas? Here's the Code (just the basic one from the examples) : #include <file.au3> $file = FileOpen(@ScriptDir & "\Generics.txt", 0) $line = FileRead($file) MsgBox(0,'',$line) FileClose($file) What am I Missing?

PsaltyDS Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Nothing in the code you posted requires the File.au3 UDF to be included. It isn't hurting anything, just not helping. Either Generics.txt is not in the script directory, or you don't have read permissions to it. Throw in some error handling: $sFile = @ScriptDir & "\Generics.txt" If FileExists($sFile) Then $hFile = FileOpen($sFile, 0) If $hFile = -1 Then MsgBox(16, "Error", "Failed to open file for read: " & $sFile) Else $sData = FileRead($hFile) ; Reads the whole file MsgBox(64, "Data", $sData) FileClose($hFile) EndIf Else MsgBox(16, "Error", "File doesn't exist: " & $sFile) EndIf Valuater's AutoIt 1-2-3, Class...

It says it doesn't exist. But it really Does... So Permissions, but its Windows how do you change permissions, do they have permissions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnOne Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 It may affect your permissions in certain OS' depending on where your script is.

JohnOne Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Sorry, but everything here points to the file not being there, by either a spelling mistake or an incorrect path. Try moving the target file to another location such as @DocumentsCommonDir and trying to open it there.

99ojo Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Hi,you may try (Generics.txt is really in same directory as your AutoIt Script?):$file = @ScriptDir & "\Generics.txt" If FileExists ($file) Then $line = FileRead($file) MsgBox(0,'',$line) Else MsgBox (0,"Error", "File not in " & @ScriptDir) EndIf;-))StefanP.S to check security settings: 1) Run explorer and do a right mouse click on generics.txt -> Properties -> security tab or2) Run cmd.exe -> cacls <Fullpath to Generics.txt> and see output Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank You! Thank You, that one did it. Turns out for some reason it had a double extension. Not shown in any view except from the cmdline. Finally it works, YAY!
