Need Help - Modify .txt

[Orbiter]

I have a huge .txt with names (each name begins on a new line) I would like to put into an array. The way I thought of doing this was to write a small program that modifies the existing .txt and adds [0], [1] etc in front of all the names.

Problem is that I cannot seem to get the array number in front of the names, they either replace the line, or generates a new line.

Snippet:

#Include <file.au3>
$lines = 1000
$File = FileRead("C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\text.txt")
For $i = 1 to $lines
    FileWriteLine("C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\text.txt", "[" & $i &"]")
Next

I have tried this also with the _FileWriteToLine function.

#Include <file.au3>
$lines = 1000
$File = FileRead("C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\text.txt")
For $i = 1 to $lines
        _FileWriteToLine("C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\text.txt",$i ,"[" & $i &"]")
Next

_FileReadToArray()

_FileReadToArray()

Won't that put all the names into just one array?

It does not look like you have a FileOpen in your script. Don't forget to open it in write mode.

"... I would like to put into an array"

You used the singular form.

To clarify: I have a .txt file formatted like this

Aarne
Aaron
Aase
Aba
Abai
Abaoub
Abas
Abay
AbayomiAbaz
AbayomiAbazaj

I need a macro or script that converts the .txt file into something like this:

[0]Aarne
[1]Aaron
[2]Aba
[3]Abai
[4]Abaoub

<br>_FileReadToArray()<br>

<br>names.txt

Aarne
Aaron
Aase
Aba
Abai
Abaoub
Abas
Abay
AbayomiAbaz
AbayomiAbazaj

#include <file.au3>
#include <array.au3>

Local $aNames
_FileReadToArray("names.txt",$aNames)
_ArrayDisplay($aNames)

</array.au3></file.au3>
