The problem is that is not running the script HotKeySet("q", "read") Func read() $filename = "configs.txt" Dim $ArrayOfURLs[1] _FileReadToArray($filename,$ArrayOfURLs) Local $randomURL = Random(1, UBound($ArrayOfURLs) - 1,1) _IECreate($ArrayOfURLs[$randomURL]) MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, $randomURL, 10) Endfunc What should this do? Should read a random line from "configs.txt", if someone can help me with this, i would appreciate it a lot. #inluded: IE.au3,file.au3,msgboxconstants.au3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators JLogan3o13 Posted May 17, 2018 Moderators Share Posted May 17, 2018 @Alpha1 you should never just take code, especially if you don't understand what it is doing. How about explaining exactly what you need to do. You want to read random lines from a text file, great - to what end? where is the file located? are you simply reading in the line or are you looking for specific text in that line?

BrewManNH Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 You have nothing in the script to keep it running. It starts and immediately ends, unless there's more to it than what's posted. If this isn't the whole script, post the script you're using. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

Help us help you 3 @JLogan3o13, thank you for your answer! Ok, sure thing, so the program must read one line from configs.txt(random) which is placed in the same folder as the script. After reading it has to send the line which was just read, key by key. What will the program read from those lines? 100 101 102 . . . 297 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators JLogan3o13 Posted May 17, 2018 Moderators Share Posted May 17, 2018 You're not providing a ton of information. This snippet will read random lines from a text file 20 times and output to the console, you should be able to modify to your needs: $sFile = @ScriptDir & "\Test.txt" For $a = 1 to 20 ConsoleWrite(FileReadLine($sFile, Random(1,9)) & @CRLF) Next Alpha1 1 "Profanity is the last vestige of the feeble mind.
