cookiemonster Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 Hey all, this must be a very silly question... Ive got a script below which I'm trying to return $sLine so it appears in the main results message box but it wont return it out of the function... Can anyone help me? Global $file = "C:\Users\James.Q\Desktop\MyFile.txt", $search = "the dog jumped" Global $iLine = 0, $sLine = '', $iValid = 0 Call ("colorfinder",$file,$search,$iLine,$sLine,$iValid) msgbox(4096,"Main result",$sLine) Func colorfinder($file,$search,$iLine,$sLine,$iValid) Global $hFile = FileOpen($file) While 1 $iLine += 1 $sLine = FileReadLine($hFile) If @error = -1 Then ExitLoop ; test the line for the $search string until the flag $iValid is set If StringInStr($sLine, $search) Then $iValid = 1 EndIf If $iValid Then $iValid = 1 msgbox(4096,"result1",$sLine) ExitLoop EndIf WEnd msgbox(4096,"result2",$sLine) Return $sLine FileClose($hFile) EndFunc ;colorfinder
