hello everyone...

can someone please let me know how to do this..

i need to read a log file named history.log

if the logile has the text "AppReg.dll" in it, then i'll have it do some commands..

i've read files in the past but dont know how to seach within it for a line of text. this is not a .ini file so i cant use iniread.

any and all assistance will be appreciated.

$file = Fileopen(...)
$string = fileread ($file)
$test = stringinstr ($string,"AppReg.dll")
If $test <> 0 then 
do stuff
endif
