Read contents of one file to search another file

[Guest jhtech]

I'm working on a script to read each line from a text file and use that line to search another text file for the instance from the first text file. I'm doing a directory listing of two folders and creating the text files. Here is my code that I'm working with.

$folder = "D:\iehotfix\rtmgdr"

$OutnameHF = "D:\iehotfix.txt"

$OutnameSys32 = "D:\system32.txt"

#include <file.au3>

Dim $test

_FileReadToArray($OutnameSys32, $test)

$afile = FileOpen($OutnameHF, 0)

While 1

$read = FileReadLine($afile)

If @error = -1 Then ExitLoop

For $x = 1 to $test[0]

If StringInStr($test, $read) = $read Then

MsgBox(0, 'Test', $test & $read)

EndIf

Next

WEnd

FileClose($afile)

I just want it to post in a message box both instances of the filename being searched for. I can get it to print a . in the message box, but not the name of the file.

Thank you for your help in advance.

I may be wrong but your line:

If StringInStr($test, $read) = $read Then *****<---

should read

If StringInStr($test, $read) Then

do stuff

.....

The stringinstr command returns either 0=false or the position if found.
