Create Unreadable File to Pull

[Knight 2]

EDIT: Hit enter to soon, title is messed up.

Here is what I want to do. Make an external file that will have 2 columns. I want my script to search column1 for a variable and if it finds it then write whats in column2 to a log file.

I have successfuly done this *.csv but those are readable by anyone. I don't want people to be able to read the file at all. I also need it to be relatively quick.

I have searched the forums but came to no conclusion on how about doing this.

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

i am not that experinced with autoit, but you could try using the _StringEncrypt command before putting it in the cvs file, but then you would need a backend side of the script to decrypt it unless you can build a vbs script within excel to auto do that. just my 2cents
