Random $line read and copy

[Alpha1]

Hi, so i am in need of  this func to be able to finish my project, i have found this jewel in old posts from 2011.

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

@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? Help us help you

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.

@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?

I am interested in making this function work, then i can use it in the main script

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

@JLogan3o13 Thank you very much!

Can you help me with sending the result key by key too?

Sure - help file >> Send has several great examples.
