JohnRichard Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Hi to all AUTOSCRIPT users. I am writing a script which saves log file in system directory. The log file will contains IP address of the PC. I wanted to delete some entries on the text file when it reaches a certain count. Like if it reached 20 entries, it will delete the first 10 entries and keep the remaining 10 entries. Is this possible in AUTOIT? I have script like this: Dim $aRecords $CountLines = _FileCountLines(@SystemDir & "\pclog.txt") If Not _FileReadToArray(@SystemDir & "\pclog.txt", $aRecords) Then MsgBox(4096,"Error", " Error reading log to Array error:" & @error) Exit EndIf If $CountLines > 20 Then For $i = 1 to $aRecords[0] ;Msgbox(0,'Record:' & $i, $aRecords[$i]) ;DELETE FIRST 10 ENTRY IN THE LOG FILE - i am stuck on this Next EndIf Appreciate any of your help. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
