How is this any different from your other topic Please stick to one at a time, otherwise we're doing double duty for the same subject. Also, a little effort on your part wouldn't hurt.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

Like Send command or send into console. And by random line I mean random number of line like line 2 where text file consists 6 lines.

I thought it's a different kind of script. Thought how to do it for many days but couldn't come up with anything. No idea how to delete from text file what been sent.

address,

Go and read the Help file pages about _FileReadToArray, Random, Send, _ArrayDelete, _FileWriteFromArray. Then try to write something yourself. :)

Come back if you run into difficulties, but not for at least 12 hours to give you time to actually do what I have just suggested. ;)

Different from what exactly? Because you're asking the same thing you asked in the post I linked to. What is this script for anyways? It sounds like a spam tool. Also, where is the code from what you've already tried?

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

Pasting in your code would help as well. Giving vague descriptions of a problem without code is like wanting to walk forward with your face against a brick wall: You'll get nowhere fast and in the end your face is sore =/

;read random line from text file then send it, then delete what was sent

#include <file.au3>
#include <Array.au3>

For $i = 1 to 6
$sFile = @ScriptDir & "Test.txt"

_FileReadToArray($sFile, $arraywherewhattextcontainsstores)

Send ($arraywherewhattextcontainsstores)
_ArrayDelete($arraywherewhattextcontainsstores, $i)

address,

That was only 9 hours! ;)

You have the basis of a script to do what you want there, but you need to learn more about arrays - I recommend the Arrays tutorial in the Wiki. :)

Next, I see no sign of Random in that script - and that was one of your requirements. Once you have learnt about arrays you will quickly see how Random will help you choose from the various lines of the file stored in the array. And although you have _ArrayDelete to remove the line from the array, you still need to rewrite the changed array back to the file - I suggested _FileWriteFromArray so take a look at that as well. :)

So, a bit more work needed from you yet. But you have made a good start - spend the next 3 hours looking at those points and see how far you get. ;)

address,

You are definitely getting there. :)

I would do it like this: ;)

#include <File.au3>
#include <Array.au3>

Global $aArray, $sFile = @ScriptDir & "test.txt"

; Just to test - here is the content of the file BEFORE we run the script
MsgBox(0, "File Before", FileRead($sFile))

; Read the file into the array
_FileReadToArray($sFile, $aArray)

; How many lines are in the file - this is set when we read the file
$iMax_Index = $aArray[0]

; Pick one at random
$iIndex = Random(1, $iMax_Index, 1)

; Send it
;Send($aArray[$iIndex])
MsgBox(0, "Line Sent", $aArray[$iIndex]) ; We show it for testing

; Delete it from the array
_ArrayDelete($aArray, $iIndex)
; Reduce the count
$aArray[0] -= 1

; Now rewrite the file - note we use the base parameter of 1 to avoid writing the count
_FileWriteFromArray($sFile, $aArray, 1)

; And again just to test - here is the content of the file AFTER we have run teh scriot
MsgBox(0, "File After", FileRead($sFile))

I used a file like this to test:

Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
Line 4
Line 5
Line 6

Please ask if you have any questions. ;)

Melba23, thank you very much

Can you help me with this please?

This loop runs 56 times. A randomly selected line from text file is inserted between lines 2 and 4. The previous action is skipped at irregular intervals (factor >0.7). The loop continues to run after all lines have been written to the console. No line occurs twice.

#include <File.au3>
#include <Array.au3>
Global $aArray, $sFile = @ScriptDir & "files.txt"

; Read the file into the array
_FileReadToArray($sFile, $aArray)
$iCount = 0
$iMax_Index = $aArray[0]; How many lines are in the file - this is set when we read the file
; Pick one at random
$iIndex = Random(1, $iMax_Index, 1)

For $i = 0 To 55
    ConsoleWrite("1" & @CRLF) ; Line 1
    ConsoleWrite("2" & @CRLF) ; Line 2
If $iCount < $iMax_Index And Random(0, 1, 1) > 0.7 Then ; Skip the next two lines randomly
  ConsoleWrite($aArray, $iIndex[$iCount]& @CRLF) ; Line 3 is a random line
  $iCount += 1
    EndIf
    ConsoleWrite("4" & @CRLF) ; Line 4


; Delete it from the array
_ArrayDelete($aArray, $iIndex)
; Reduce the count
$aArray[0] -= 1
; Now rewrite the file - note we use the base parameter of 1 to avoid writing the count
_FileWriteFromArray($sFile, $aArray, 1)

Next

Subscript used with non-Array variable.:
ConsoleWrite($aArray, $iIndex[$iCount]& @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite($aArray, $iIndex^ ERROR

address,

How about explaining what you are trying to do first? I do not mind working on complex coding problems, but I like to know why I am spending my time doing it. I can think of no obvious reason for what you are trying to code - so please let me know. :)

address,

This produces as many "blocks" as there are lines in the file and inserts random non-repeating lines from the file into the blocks at random:

#include <File.au3>
#include <Array.au3>
Global $aArray, $sFile = @ScriptDir & "files.txt"

; Read the file into the array
_FileReadToArray($sFile, $aArray)
$iCount = 0
$iMax_Index = $aArray[0]; How many lines are in the file - this is set when we read the file

; Now we run through the loop
For $i = 1 To $aArray[0]

    ; Choose a random index
    If $aArray[0] = 1 Then ; We need this as Random(1, 1) returns 0
        $iIndex = 1
    Else
        $iIndex = Random(1, $aArray[0], 1)
    EndIf

    ; Write the static lines
    ConsoleWrite("Static 1" & @CRLF) ; Line 1
    ConsoleWrite("Static 2" & @CRLF) ; Line 2

    ; Write the line randomly
    If Random() > 0.5 Then
        ConsoleWrite($aArray[$iIndex] & @CRLF) ; Line 3 is a random line
        ; Delete that line from the array
        _ArrayDelete($aArray, $iIndex)
        ; Reduce the count
        $aArray[0] -= 1
    EndIf

    ; Write the final static line
    ConsoleWrite("Static 4" & @CRLF & @CRLF) ; Line 4

Next

Are we getting close yet? :)

Melba23, thank you very much. Now this is too awesome.

Slight problem, when I delete sent lines

#include <File.au3>
#include <Array.au3>
Global $aArray, $sFile = @ScriptDir & "files.txt"
; Read the file into the array
_FileReadToArray($sFile, $aArray)
$iCount = 0
$iMax_Index = $aArray[0]; How many lines are in the file - this is set when we read the file
; Now we run through the loop
For $i = 1 To 55
    ; Choose a random index
    If $aArray[0] = 1 Then ; We need this as Random(1, 1) returns 0
        $iIndex = 1
    Else
        $iIndex = Random(1, $aArray[0], 1)
    EndIf
    ; Write the static lines
    ConsoleWrite("Static 1" & @CRLF) ; Line 1
    ConsoleWrite("Static 2" & @CRLF) ; Line 2
    ; Write the line randomly
    If Random() > 0.5 Then
        ConsoleWrite($aArray[$iIndex] & @CRLF) ; Line 3 is a random line
        ; Delete that line from the array
        _ArrayDelete($aArray, $iIndex)
        ; Reduce the count
        $aArray[0] -= 1
  _FileWriteFromArray($sFile, $aArray, 1)
    EndIf
    ; Write the final static line
    ConsoleWrite("Static 4" & @CRLF & @CRLF) ; Line 4
Next

If no lines left it writes "0" into text file and then gives error. Can it be that instead of 0 it just keeps sending lines 1 2 and 4 until For Next loop ends?

address,

Just change the If line to read:

If $iIndex > 0 And Random() > 0.5 Then

Now if there are no more lines left it skips that part. :)
