An example:

If WinExists("[Class:Notepad]", "") Then
    Local $Text = ControlGetText("[Class:Notepad]", "", "Edit1")
    Local $iLineNum = 6
    Local $username6 = "username6"
    Local $sLine = StringRegExpReplace($Text, "(\V+\v+){" & ($iLineNum - 1) & "}(\V+)(?s).+$", "\2")
    Local $aLine = StringSplit($sLine, " | ", 3)
    MsgBox(0, "Results", 'Given Line "' & $iLineNum & '";  Gets ' & 'User Name: "' & $aLine[0] & '";   Password: "' & $aLine[1] & '"' & @LF & _
            " Or" & @LF & _
            'Given User Name:  "' & $username6 & '";  Gets Password: "' & StringRegExpReplace($Text, "(?s)(?:.*)" & $username6 & "\h*\|\h*(\V+).+$", "\1") & '"' & @LF)
Else
    MsgBox(0, "Error", "Notepad does not exist")
EndIf

You're right, better do it for him.

An example:

If WinExists("[Class:Notepad]", "") Then
    Local $Text = ControlGetText("[Class:Notepad]", "", "Edit1")
    Local $iLineNum = 6
    Local $username6 = "username6"
    Local $sLine = StringRegExpReplace($Text, "(\V+\v+){" & ($iLineNum - 1) & "}(\V+)(?s).+$", "\2")
    Local $aLine = StringSplit($sLine, " | ", 3)
    MsgBox(0, "Results", 'Given Line "' & $iLineNum & '";  Gets ' & 'User Name: "' & $aLine[0] & '";   Password: "' & $aLine[1] & '"' & @LF & _
            " Or" & @LF & _
            'Given User Name:  "' & $username6 & '";  Gets Password: "' & StringRegExpReplace($Text, "(?s)(?:.*)" & $username6 & "\h*\|\h*(\V+).+$", "\1") & '"' & @LF)
Else
    MsgBox(0, "Error", "Notepad does not exist")
EndIf

so how do open the notepad file, for example: this is the location: C:Usersname pcDesktopautoitproject

[FireFox]

notepad.exe C:\Users\name pc\Desktop\autoit\project

[Arclite86]

notepad.exe C:\Users\name pc\Desktop\autoit\project

like this?:

If WinExists("[Class:notepad.exe C:\Users\name pc\Desktop\autoit\project]", "") Then
    Local $Text = ControlGetText("[Class:Notepad]", "", "Edit1")
    Local $iLineNum = 6
    Local $username6 = "username6"
    Local $sLine = StringRegExpReplace($Text, "(\V+\v+){" & ($iLineNum - 1) & "}(\V+)(?s).+$", "\2")
    Local $aLine = StringSplit($sLine, " | ", 3)
    MsgBox(0, "Results", 'Given Line "' & $iLineNum & '";  Gets ' & 'User Name: "' & $aLine[0] & '";   Password: "' & $aLine[1] & '"' & @LF & _
            " Or" & @LF & _
            'Given User Name:  "' & $username6 & '";  Gets Password: "' & StringRegExpReplace($Text, "(?s)(?:.*)" & $username6 & "\h*\|\h*(\V+).+$", "\1") & '"' & @LF)
Else
    MsgBox(0, "Error", "Notepad does not exist")
EndIf

Hello Arclite,

It sounds like you want to read from a text file, not from Notepad itself.  In which case, you don't need to open Notepad, or refer to any windows.

Instead, have a look at FileReadLine.  Once you have a grip on that, check out StringSplit or even _FileReadToArray in order to achieve what you're trying to do.

I could write the function for you, but it would be better if you studied the help file and learned how to use this tool for yourself.

Best of luck,

Val.

Sry for everyone and sry for the original topic maker (Arclite86), but i do not wanted to make a new topic for my question, cause it is similar for this.

My question is, how do i can get how many lines a file have?

I can real lines with FileReadLine it is no problem, but i dont wana get that data. For this function, i need only the number of lines in the file. I was searching in help file, but i could not find the solution.

Probably i am just lame, and approach it from wrong direction.

I tried to put it in a loop... but after i made the loop i mess up it with wrong order.

So i get back nothing, just errors

[TrickyDeath]

Ahh forget... I was the lame. Found my solution in another topic.

_FileCountLines

probably what i need. (somehow i did not saw this order in help list)

Lame Tricky
