bahtea Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 A very crude code. I have chosen the FOR loop: the approach could be wrong altogether. Let me state it this way, this is what I want to have: 1. Extract whole lines in sequence from text files. 2. The line numbers increase by 4, starting from line no.3 (ie, 3, 7, 11 upto the last). The big question: How to input the INCREMENTAL LINE NO's into the Go to dialog of the text editor? #include <file.au3> Dim $file Dim $lines $file=FileOpenDialog("Select your file",@DesktopDir,"All files (*.*)") $lines = _FileCountLines($file) MsgBox(64, "Processed", "There are " & $lines & " lines in the selected file.") For $startwork = 3 To $lines Step 4 WinActivate("[CLASS:Notepad++]", "") Send("^g") Send("XXX") <-- CAN SEND INCREMENTAL LINE NOs HERE? ... Next Exit Or, maybe there is a better program to do this kind of work? Thank you.ExtLines.au3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaberwacky Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 (edited) Is this what you want? #include <file.au3> Dim $file Dim $lines $file = FileOpenDialog("Select your file", @DesktopDir, "All files (*.*)") $lines = _FileCountLines($file) MsgBox(64, "Processed", "There are " & $lines & " lines in the selected file.") For $startwork = 3 To $lines Step 4 WinActivate("[CLASS:Notepad++]", "") Send("^g") Send($startwork) ;< - - CAN SEND INCREMENTAL LINE NOs HERE? ;...

wakillon Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 A MsgBox display "There are "9 lines in the selected file." and nothing ! See Matt Post with _StringGetLine function, it works.
