Alter Text In File

[Guest Olli]

Hi Guys,

i started some work with AutoIt and so far it works good for me. But now i have a liitle question.

I'd like to take a text file, go to a desired postion, enter some text and save the new file under a new name. So how can i do this with AutoIOv3??

Maybe there exists a quite simple way, but i'm a newbie and don't know how, so please help me. ;-)

Best regards,

Olli

Or do you have the freedom to indicate the desired position via a token of some sort? Eg ..

The quick brown fox jumps @target the lazy dog

.. and then you can replace "@target" with "Rover," ... ?

EDIT: oops, sorry Larry - I see you got that base covered already

Hi Guys,

thanks for the fast answer. Actually i'm free about how i'll insert my text. One solution would be a a keyword like @target, but it would also be possible to split the hardcoded text in different parts and the variable text would be merge between both parts into a third file, but i think the first way would be the finest. So if you have any ideas or documentation where you could point me, i would be happy. :-))

Best regards,

Olli

aye, for this example, we shall split each word up (by space) off he top of my head.

$file="text.txt"
$text=fileread($file,FileGetSize($file))
$text=Stringreplace($text,@cr," "&@cr); to compensate for lines.
$text=Stringreplace($text,@lf,@lf&" "); to compensate for lines.

$words=Stringsplit($text," ")
for $i=1 to $words[0] 
tooltip($words[$i],0,0) 
if $words[$i]<>"" then sleep(500); display each word for half a second. You can do whatever.
next
