Read file list in as an array

[Berkeley 0]

So new to this I dont even know how to ask for help so please only minor flogging

So I have a list of files that I need to open and perform a bunch of repetitive tasks on. I have figured out the script for opening a file and automating the tasks. What I would like to do is load the list of files in as an array and then have autoit perform the tasks for each file in the list. I found _FileReadToArray but cannot get it to work. My text file would look like:

c:\file\fileX.txt

c:\file\fileX.txt

c:\file\fileX.ttx

and so on

perhaps SQlite is my solution. I have not looked at that yet. It does seem wrong to load all of the list to memory so perhaps there is a better way.

Thanks,

Berkeley

$sPath Path to generate filelist for.

$sFilter [optional] the filter to use, default is *. Search the Autoit3 helpfile for the word "WildCards" For details.

Failure: 0

@Error: 1 = Path not found or invalid

2 = Invalid $sFilter

The array returned is one-dimensional and is made up as follows:

$array[0] = Number of Files\Folders returned

$array[2] = 2nd File\Folder

$array[3] = 3rd File\Folder

$array[n] = nth File\Folder
