How to read part of line?

With the earlier answers plus my idea, you should be able to make this work. I have no time ATM. I'm sure you'll figure it out.

That's good to hear

For parsing lines of code, most String functions are generally useful. You may sometimes need to trim spaces from one, or both ends, of each line using StringStripWS() before doing anything else.

Using more advanced features like StringRegExp() will take a lot of study, but ffirst check out all the simpler String functions and learn what they all do. That will bring you forward in your project.

Good luck with this.

Here's an example of how I might do it.

;

Local $sLineFromFile = "msg NOTIFICATION, Hello World"
Local $sTrimLine = StringStripWS($sLineFromFile, 1) ; Strip leading white spaces (just in case there are any)
Local $aText ; Array variable to hold split line sections

If StringLeft ($sTrimLine, 4) = "msg " Then
    $sTrimLine = StringTrimLeft($sTrimLine, 4) ; Get rid of 'msg '
    $aText = StringSplit($sTrimLine, ",") ; Split the line
    MsgBox(0, $aText[1], $aText[2])
EndIf

;

Oops, spotted two stupid mistakes. Fixed. Any questions about the code, just ask.
