select part of the text

[dickjones007]

is it possible to write the code that will open text file, then find specified word and move cursor to it.

then select all text after that word and delete it?

Try this:

If @OSArch = "X64" Then
    $au3dir = RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\AutoIt v3\AutoIt", "InstallDir")
Else
    $au3dir = RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\AutoIt v3\AutoIt", "InstallDir")
EndIf
$sFile = FileRead($au3dir & "\Examples\_ReadMe_.txt")
$sSearch = "installed."
$sLen = StringLen($sSearch) - 1
$sNew = StringLeft($sFile, StringInStr($sFile, $sSearch) + $sLen)
MsgBox(0, "New Text", "Before: " & @LF & $sFile & @LF & @LF & "After: " & @LF & $sNew)

It will load the _ReadMe_.txt from AutoIt\Examples dir, search for "installed." and copy the text from start until "installed.".
