Hello, it's my first post here, so i would like to greet you all!

I tried to search forums for such a thing but couldn't find anything that suit me.

I Need to open a file with autoit, modify a text (ill provide a pattern) and swap this text with other then save.

For example, i have "text.txt" located in c: drive, i would like to open it, modify line "hello" to "hallo" and save.

Any Hints how could i achieve it?

FileOpen

FileReadLine

FileWriteLine

FileClose

All in help file.

Also look at Loops.

Thanks for it, will it work on server system? I can't modify anything directly on disk (save directly to) So first i have to copy file on desktop, modify, save and copy back to folder on c:)

To copy a file on your desktop folder, just use FileCopy, and FileCopy again to copy back.

Why do you want to open the .js file in a text editor ? You don't need to open it in a external tool, you can directly modify it with your script, using the functions that JohnOne suggest.

Network configuration UDF,  _DirGetSizeByExtension, _UninstallList      Firefox Configuration
Array multi-dimensions, Printer Management UDF

Well i did it in easy way, i needed to open .js file to modify 1 string.

$szFile = "c:tempx.js"
$szText = FileRead($szFile,FileGetSize($szFile))
$szText = StringReplace($szText, "a", "b")
FileDelete($szFile)
 
that's how it works.
 
and to modify it im just copying oryiginal one to temp folder, doing edits and copy it back with override, then delting temp.
 
Thanks for advices guys, close thread.
