Reading a .txt file

[Shinies]

Hey, i have been trying to get the text inside a .txt file, and storing it into a $var. I was using this code to test if it would work

$fileread = FileOpen("123.txt", 0)
If $fileread = -1 Then 
Exit
EndIf
While 1
    $txt = FileRead($fileread, 1)
    If @error = -1 Then ExitLoop
Wend
FileClose($fileread)

Run("Notepad.exe")
WinWaitActive("Untitled - Notepad")
Send($txt)

But all it writes to the notepad is "¼" ..? is there another function i can use to accomplish this? or is there another way to do this? plz help

thanks

Try The Following:

$file = FileOpen("test.txt", 0)
$cnt = FileGetSize("Test.txt")
If $file = -1 Then 
Exit
EndIf
$txt = FileRead($file, $cnt)
ClipPut($txt)
FileClose($file)

Run("Notepad.exe")
WinWaitActive("Untitled - Notepad")
;Send($txt);Uncomment this line to send the text one character at a time
;Send("^v");Uncomment this line to paste the text into notepad all at once

why not just use

$txt = FileRead('test.txt', FileGetSize('test.txt'))

If @error then Exit

clipput($txt)

why not just use

$txt = FileRead('test.txt', FileGetSize('test.txt'))

If @error then Exit

clipput($txt)

and... if you'd like to read just one line at a time, check out: FileReadLine ( filehandle or "filename" [, line] )

The first one worked perfectly, i spose where i went wrong was not getting the file size? anyways, thank you so much for your help
