uhm guys, in my script i opened 2 text files but the problem is i can't get my 1st file to close...

here is a part of my script

;========================================================================== 
;For .Rep file
;==========================================================================
$RepFile = $ShortCode & stringright($YYYY,2) & Chr(64 + $MM) & $DD & $Fseq & ".REP"
    $RepPath = "C:\Script\Test\" & $TDate & "\" & $RepFile
    FileOpen($RepPath, 10)
    FileWriteLine($RepPath, "DBO")
    FileWriteLine($RepPath, "Date: " & _datetomonth($MM) & " " & $DD & "," & $YYYY)
    FileWriteLine($RepPath, "Summary List")
    FileWriteLine($RepPath, " ")
    FileWriteLine($RepPath, "Filename:" & $FileName)
    FileWriteLine($RepPath, " ")
    FileClose($RepPath)
    
    $ReadFile = FileOpen($UnFilePath, 0)
    If $ReadFile = -1 Then
        MsgBox(0, "Error", $FileName & "Unable to open file.")
        Exit
    EndIf
    While 1
        $BRSline = FileReadLine($ReadFile)
        If @error = -1 Then ExitLoop
        $SFile = stringSplit($BRSline ,chr(34) & "," & chr(34),1)
        $SRefNo = $SFile[1]
        $SRefNo = StringReplace($SRefNo, chr(34), "")
        $SRemName = $SFile[3]
        $SBeneName = $SFile[7]
        $SAmt = $SFile[19]
        $SCur = $SFile[18]
        $SAccNo = $SFile[17]
        $SBnkCode = $SFile[15]
        if $strcountPHP = "" then 
            $strcountPHP = "0" 
        endif
        if $strcountUSD = "" then 
            $strcountUSD = "0" 
        endif
        FileOpen($RepPath)
        FileWriteLine($RepPath, "RNo.       :" & $SRefNo)
        FileWriteLine($RepPath, "ReName     :" & $SReName)
        FileWriteLine($RepPath, "BeName :" & $SBeName)
        FileWriteLine($RepPath, "At         :" & $SAt)
        FileWriteLine($RepPath, "No.        :" & $SNo)
        FileWriteLine($RepPath, "BaName     :" & $SBCode)
        FileWriteLine($RepPath, " ")
        FileClose($RepPath)
    WEnd
    FileClose($ReadFile)
    msgbox(0,"", FileClose($ReadFile))
    if $TotAmtPHP = "" then 
        $TotAmtPHP = "0" 
    endif
    if $TotAmtUSD = "" then 
        $TotAmtUSD = "0" 
    endif
    FileOpen($RepPath)
    FileWriteLine($RepPath, " ")
    FileWriteLine($RepPath, "Summary :")
    FileWriteLine($RepPath, "")
    FileWriteLine($RepPath, "Total Number of Records (1) : " & $strcount1)
    FileWriteLine($RepPath, "Total Number of Records (2) : " & $strcount2)
    FileWriteLine($RepPath, "Total Amount 1       : " & $TotAmt1)
    FileWriteLine($RepPath, "Total Amount 2      : " & $TotAmt2)
    FileClose($RepPath)
;========================================================================== 
;For .sum file
;==========================================================================
    $sumName = $ZipFile & ".SUM"
    $sumPath = "C:\Script\Test\" & $TDate & "\" & $sumName
    FileOpen($sumPath, 10)
    FileWriteLine($sumPath, "TCode=" & $LocCode)
    FileWriteLine($sumPath, "TID=" & $ShortCode & stringright($YYYY,2) & Chr(64 + $MM) & $DD & $Fseq)
    FileWriteLine($sumPath, "Total1=" & $TotAmt1)
    FileWriteLine($sumPath, "Total2=" & $TotAmt2)
    FileWriteLine($sumPath, "1Count=" & $strcount1)
    FileWriteLine($sumPath, "2Count=" & $strcount2)
    FileClose($sumPath)

as you can see i added a message box after WEnd but the value i am getting is 0 so basicaly the file is still open...

i need to close that file to be able to encrypt it.... any help would be apreciated, thanks

    FileClose($RepPath)

Replace FileOpen($RepPath, 10) by $_file = FileOpen($RepPath, 10)

And FileClose($RepPath) by FileClose($_file) Posted Image

See the helpfile for this Functions.

thanks a lot wakillon i was able to encrypt the file, i thought that i could do a fileopen without declaring it to a variable since i would just do a fileclose on the same file, thanks again ;)

just one more question, after doing your change even if i was able to sucessfuly close the file the msgbox still showed a value of 0 and from what i've read 0 means that fileclose failed.

sorry if i'm asking too much its just that i want to understand how autoit works

It's the way you use for get the return value !

wrong :

FileClose($ReadFile)

msgbox(0,"", FileClose($ReadFile))

good :

$_FileClose = FileClose($ReadFile)

msgbox(0,"", $_FileClose)

No you don't, the error was that you tried to close something that already was closed. You should already know that as you have:

$RepFile = $ShortCode & stringright($YYYY,2) & Chr(64 + $MM) & $DD & $Fseq & ".REP"

And lots of other places where you use the return value directly.

Change this:

$_RepPath3 = FileOpen($RepPath)

FileWriteLine($RepPath, " ")
FileWriteLine($RepPath, "Summary :")
FileWriteLine($RepPath, "")
FileWriteLine($RepPath, "Total Number of Records (1) : " & $strcount1)
FileWriteLine($RepPath, "Total Number of Records (2) : " & $strcount2)
FileWriteLine($RepPath, "Total Amount 1     : " & $TotAmt1)
FileWriteLine($RepPath, "Total Amount 2     : " & $TotAmt2)
FileClose($_RepPath3)

To this:

$_RepPath3 = FileOpen($RepPath)

FileWriteLine($_RepPath3, " ")
FileWriteLine($_RepPath3, "Summary :")
FileWriteLine($_RepPath3, "")
FileWriteLine($_RepPath3, "Total Number of Records (1) : " & $strcount1)
FileWriteLine($_RepPath3, "Total Number of Records (2) : " & $strcount2)
FileWriteLine($_RepPath3, "Total Amount 1   : " & $TotAmt1)
FileWriteLine($_RepPath3, "Total Amount 2   : " & $TotAmt2)
FileClose($_RepPath3)

And this:

$_SumPath = FileOpen($sumPath, 10)
FileWriteLine($sumPath, "TCode=" & $LocCode)
FileWriteLine($sumPath, "TID=" & $ShortCode & StringRight($YYYY, 2) & Chr(64 + $MM) & $DD & $Fseq)
FileWriteLine($sumPath, "Total1=" & $TotAmt1)
FileWriteLine($sumPath, "Total2=" & $TotAmt2)
FileWriteLine($sumPath, "1Count=" & $strcount1)
FileWriteLine($sumPath, "2Count=" & $strcount2)
FileClose($_SumPath)

To this:

$_SumPath = FileOpen($sumPath, 10)
FileWriteLine($_SumPath, "TCode=" & $LocCode)
FileWriteLine($_SumPath, "TID=" & $ShortCode & StringRight($YYYY, 2) & Chr(64 + $MM) & $DD & $Fseq)
FileWriteLine($_SumPath, "Total1=" & $TotAmt1)
FileWriteLine($_SumPath, "Total2=" & $TotAmt2)
FileWriteLine($_SumPath, "1Count=" & $strcount1)
FileWriteLine($_SumPath, "2Count=" & $strcount2)
FileClose($_SumPath)

In fact, just replace the entire bloody lot:
