Reading from a text file

[DankeronisPalace]

Hi, new to Autoit and I would like to ask for some help from the experienced users here. I would like to read a text file with various number data line by line, and iterate through the values one by one pressing keyboard combinations based on the input given. Could somebody give me any hints on how I could do this?

What I mean is I would like to do one operation for each value separated by a space...

@DankeronisPalace welcome to the forum. To begin, look at FileRead and FileReadToArray in the help file. Both have great examples you should be able to modify to your needs.

Thank you, I'll look into it!

Untested but something like:

Local $aFileLine, $aFileLines = FileReadToArray("<FilePath>")
Local $iLineCount = @extended
    If @error Then Exit
For $i = 0 To $iLineCount
    $aFileLine = StringSplit(StringStripWS($aFileLines[$i], 4), " ")
    If @error Then ContinueLoop
    For $j = 1 To $aFileLine[0]
        ;~ Do whatever for each number in the array
    Next
Next

Thank you very much! I'll test it and make the appropriate changes to get it to work.

@DankeronisPalace if you have questions moving forward please ask, and post your code. Though you wouldn't always know it, we try to encourage people learning and asking questions rather than being spoon-fed code.
