Filereadline Nested Within Two Loops

[Gllopc]

Hello, I have a problem in which the FileReadLine($file) code, within the While loop, does not execute each time through the loop after it's read through an entire file once. I think what's happening is there is either a limitation in how many times a nested While will run within another loop, or I need to set the While condition to a different value.

$file = FileOpen(@TempDir & "\hwids2.txt", 0)

$var = IniReadSection("appnics.ini", "ApprovedNICs")

For $i = 1 To $var[0][0]
    While 1
        $line = FileReadLine($file)
        If @error = -1 Then ExitLoop
        If StringInStr($line, $var[$i][1]) Then
            MsgBox(0, "The String", $line)      
        EndIf
    WEnd
Next

FileClose($file)

What I am doing is comparing two files; I want to take the first line from file 1, and see if it appears in any of the lines of file 2. Then move to the second line of file 1, and again see if it appears in any of the lines of file 2, and so on.

Can anyone spot my error?

Thank you!

HI,

what about reading both files into an array and then compare array index 1 with the complete array2 and so on.

So long,

That's a good idea. How many lines can an array hold? The file holds 1037 lines altogethor.
