Suggestions for this please

I've got this script which looks for error windows on a computer, if a specific window appears it grabs the text and sends it via TCP/IP to another computer, which then displays the message and asks the user if they wish to connect to the computer with the error on. Via a 3rd party application.

My question is..

Currently there are 4 windows which are looked for, they are hard coded. The script has the begining part of the text I know appears, if that window appears it gets the text and sends it. It also sends the computer name and a Title to use based on the pc name, these are split by pipes and split into an array at the other end. (you didn't need to know that but I thought I might get questions)

What I would like to do is to be able to make the list of error windows expandable via an ini file, but I don't know how to go about making it happen in the script dynamically based on ini entries.

Can someone give me a hand in doing this.. Thanks

Don't necessarly need an ini file. A file with each window title on a separate line could suffice

W-

I-

E-

X-

Then use arrays. Note: I didn't test this code.

#include <File.au3>

Global $listOfErrors = @ScriptDir & "\errorList.txt";set path as needed
Global $windowTitle
_FileReadToArray($listOfErrors, ByRef $windowTitle)

$Server = "Bay6server"
$Port = "8000"
Global $MainSocket

While 1
    
    For $i = 0 to UBound($listOfErrors)-1
        If WinExists($windowTitle[$i]) Then
            $Textread = WinGetText ( "" , $windowTitle[$i] )
            SendData($TextRead)
            WinWaitClose ("", $windowTitle[$i])
        EndIf
        sleep(100); prevent maxing out the CPU
    Next

    SLEEP (500)
Wend
