Clark 2 Posted May 3, 2011 So this little piece of code opens a file and then reads it in line by line. #include <File.au3> $message = "Please select a file to convert" $initialDir = "W:\Testing\Tools\Diehard" $InputFile = FileOpenDialog($message, $initialDir & "\", "All (*.*)", 1 ) If @error Then MsgBox(4096,"","No File(s) chosen") exit Else $InputFile = StringReplace($InputFile, "|", @CRLF) EndIf While 1 $line = FileReadLine($InputFile) if @error = -1 then ExitLoop msgbox(0, "Line read: ",$line) WEnd Fileclose($InputFile) FileClose($OutputFile) Problem is, it just keeps displaying the first line of the file over and over again. I've attached the file that it is reading in, in case it helps diagnose the issue. TIArandom-10k.txt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
water 2,392 Posted May 3, 2011 (edited) FileOpen is missing. I guess FileReadLine opens the file, reads a line and closes the file. And does this over and over again. You need something like: $hFile = FileOpen($InputFile) While 1 $line = FileReadLine($hFile) if @error = -1 then ExitLoop msgbox(0, "Line read: ",$line) WEnd FileClose($hFile) Edited May 3, 2011 by water My UDFs and Tutorials: Spoiler UDFs:Active Directory (NEW 2020-10-10 - Version 1.5.2.1) - Download - General Help & Support - Example Scripts - WikiOutlookEX (NEW 2020-12-15 - Version 1.6.3.1) - Download - General Help & Support - Example Scripts - WikiOutlookEX_GUI (2020-06-27 - Version 1.3.2.0) - DownloadOutlook Tools (2019-07-22 - Version 0.6.0.0) - Download - General Help & Support - WikiExcelChart (2017-07-21 - Version 0.4.0.1) - Download - General Help & Support - Example ScriptsPowerPoint (2017-06-06 - Version 0.0.5.0) - Download - General Help & SupportExcel - Example Scripts - WikiWord - WikiTask Scheduler (2019-12-03 - Version 1.5.1.0) - Download - General Help & Support - WikiTutorials:ADO - Wiki, WebDriver - Wiki Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
