$selectin = @destopdir & "\selectedrecs.txt"

$selectinh = fileopen($selectin,0)

$recin = filereadline($selectinh)

msgbox(0,"",$recin)   ;   this displays only  3245641  not john phillips

Check with an HEXEDITOR whether there is a 00 character after 3245671 .... or attach the file so we can check.

sorry am not allowed to attach file, (company security), however i have manually modified the file first line (as presented in the initial post)

i typeed aaaaaaabbbbbb in the first line, saved the file, and ran the code and what displayed with msgbox was aaaaaaa  the bbbbbb did not show up.

i took this code . out of the original script and put it in a simple script by itself and ran it. and it ran ok. so there is nothing wrong with the file.

note there is nothing in front of this code in the original script except a 

while 1

 

$selectin = @destopdir & "\selectedrecs.txt"

$selectinh = fileopen($selectin,0)

$recin = filereadline($selectinh)

msgbox(0,"",$recin)   ;   this displays only  3245641  not john phillips
