Send command read file

[TuMiM]

I have a script that uses the send command to send a bunch of text to a program. The text has about 5000 entries every time with one entry on each line. Currently, i have to do some find and replace in order to get the send command before and after each entry on the line to make a script out of it. Is there a way to have a script read each line in a text file and send each line with a TAB after each line? I hope that makes sense.

Here is what my script looks like now

WinWaitActive("System 08.12", "Build Scan List")

Send("3003759{TAB}")

Send("00000120156{TAB}")

Send("00000123909{TAB}")

Send("00000105653{TAB}")

Send("4002860{TAB}")

Send("4002872{TAB}")

Send("4002860{TAB}")

Send("4002872{TAB}")

untested, but try this... in the end, $tmp will contain a large string with tabs after each line...

Dim $blah, $tmp = ""
_FileReadToArray("c:\test.txt",$blah)
$x = 1
While $x < $blah[0]
    $tmp = $tmp & $blah[$x] & Chr(9)
    $x = $x + 1
WEnd
$tmp = $tmp & $blah[$x+1]

That gives me an error and I am not sure why.

I have attached the error

haha, laughing at myself sorry, did things the hard way... try this one..

#include<file.au3>
#include<array.au3>
Dim $filearray,$filestring
_FileReadToArray("c:\test.txt",$filearray)
$filestring = _ArrayToString($filearray,Chr(9))

That works great! Thanks. The only thing is that the first entry it makes is a number of how many entries there are. So for example 3 entries outputs

3 12345

54321

65432

Is there any way to get rid of the 3?

my bad, i forgot to include the optional base parameter on the _ArrayToString, that line should actually read:

$filestring = _ArrayToString($filearray,Chr(9),1,$filearray[0])
