SpookMeister 1 Report post Posted November 9, 2005 (edited) one way to do that would be (in pseudo-code): Open the file Start a Loop If you have gotten to the end of the file then exit your loop Read a line from the file Search that line for the word you are looking for If you find it then do whatever it is that you want to do Loop back to the start Close your file Look in the help file for words like: FileOpen() FileReadLine() StringInStr() FileClose() Edited November 9, 2005 by SpookMeister [u]Helpful tips:[/u]If you want better answers to your questions, take the time to reproduce your issue in a small "stand alone" example script whenever possible. Also, make sure you tell us 1) what you tried, 2) what you expected to happen, and 3) what happened instead.[u]Useful links:[/u]BrettF's update to LxP's "How to AutoIt" pdfValuater's Autoit 1-2-3 Download page for the latest versions of Autoit and SciTE[quote]<glyph> For example - if you came in here asking "how do I use a jackhammer" we might ask "why do you need to use a jackhammer"<glyph> If the answer to the latter question is "to knock my grandmother's head off to let out the evil spirits that gave her cancer", then maybe the problem is actually unrelated to jackhammers[/quote] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SmOke_N 199 Report post Posted November 9, 2005 um... did you write the .dat file? Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
