$test = 63901

$handle = FileOpen("C:\Zip.txt", 1)

$zip = FileReadLine($handle, Random(1, 42021, 1))

FileClose($handle)

MsgBox(4096, "Test", "zip Code is" & $zip , 10)

why is this not working, if i use $test it works so its obviously not reading the file

Well for a start you are opening the file in write mode.

What do you mean by if you use $test it works? Also, have you checked that the file is being open correctly, that $handle is not -1?

And that your text file really does have 42000 lines in it.

lol yes its a zip code reader and i got them all,

i set $test to 63901 and when i use MsgBox(4096, "Test", "zip Code is" & $test , 10) it says

zip Code is63901

but when i use the $zip it just returns

zip Code is

what would be the proper code to get it to show the zip on that random line?

edit nevermind $handle = FileOpen("C:\Zip.txt", 1) the 1 should be a zero
