C2A 0 Posted July 23, 2011 Hi john, Thanks for the idea. i could not find _FileRead() but this is what i wrote and it worked. $file = FileOpen("list.txt", 0) $new = FileOpen("new.txt", 1) $chars = FileRead($file) $Replace = StringReplace($chars, ",", "," & @CRLF) FileWrite($new, $replace) Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnOne 1,603 Posted July 23, 2011 At least it worked out for you. Just as a note, you should always check for errors, after your functions.

GEOSoft 67 Posted July 23, 2011 And don't forget to close the file handles. You can actually shorten that code a bit and only have one handle to deal with. $Chrs = StringReplace(FileRead("list.txt"), ",", @CRLF) If @Extended Then $hFile = FileOpen("new.txt", 1) FileWrite($hFile, $Chrs) FileClose($hFile) EndIf GeorgeQuestion about decompiling code?
