Script not running...

[theguy0000 1]

#include <File.au3>

MsgBox(0, "whats", _FileFindString("C:\test.txt", "whats"))

MsgBox(0, "are", _FileFindString("C:\test.txt", "are", 2))

MsgBox(0, "dude", _FileFindString("C:\test.txt", "dude", 3))

When I run this, it does absolutely nothing at all, and ends immediately. No message boxes, no errors, nothing. It just exists.

Here is _FileFindString:

;$iMode - 
;  1 - Beginning of line (default)
;  2 - Anywhere in line
;  3 - Whole line
Func _FileFindString($zFile, $sSearch, $iMode=1)
    If $iMode <> 1 Or $iMode <> 2 Or $iMode <> 3 Then
        SetError(-3)
        Return -3
    EndIf
    
    If Not FileExists($sPath) Then
        SetError(-1)
        Return -1
    EndIf
    
    If IsString($zFile) Then $handle = FileOpen($sPath, 0)
    
    Else $handle = $zFile
    
    If $handle = -1 Then
        SetError(-2)
        Return -2
    EndIf
    
    For $i=1 To _FileCountLines($sPath)
        If $iMode = 1 Then
            If StringInStr(FileReadLine($handle, $i), $sSearch) = 1 Then Return $i
        ElseIf $iMode = 2 Then
            If StringInStr(FileReadLine($handle, $i), $sSearch) Then Return $i
        ElseIf $iMode = 3 Then
            If FileReadLine($handle, $i) = $sSearch Then Return $i
        EndIf
    Next
    Return 0
EndFunc

What is wrong here?

$sPath?? didn't make sense so changed to $zFile

Commented out the else because that didn't make sense either.

I'm not really sure what your expecting to get back from this, you will only ever get a number back based on the For count.
