BTW, isn't there a problem with Count parameter? I just faced the problem with FileRead and it looks, the Count is not "optional"? At least not in the latest AutoIt 3.1.1.92. I had to use "Count" argument in my script, otherwise it doesn't work.

good catch plato

i have the beta AutoIt 3.1.1.92.

it says

FileRead ( filehandle or "filename" [, count] )

and the demo works

8)

Strange, after using this code..

$chars = FileRead("E:\temp\test.txt")

I got this error..

FileRead() [built-in] called with wrong number of args."

while this works OK..

$chars = FileRead("E:\temp\test.txt",FileGetSize("E:\temp\test.txt"))

But if I understand the FileRead function correctly, the COUNT argument should not be required if I need to read entire file?

It looks another user already confirmed this FileRead problem here..

Yes, there are currently problems with the beta's FileRead(), however you are receiving the error you mention because you are running the release version.

To fix this you need to run Start > Programs > AutoIt v3 > Beta > Toggle AU3 Beta.

Edit: Typo.
