Global $Uge

    $Y = 0
    $Uge = "19"
    
    Do
        $Uge = $Uge + 1
        $Y = $Y+1
        If $y = 1 Then
            FileWrite("Menu.txt",">>>> Menu uge " & $Uge & " <<<<" & @CRLF)
            Else
        FileWrite("Menu.txt","" & @CRLF & ">>>> Menu uge " & $Uge & " <<<<" & @CRLF)
        EndIf
        _Retter()
        Until $Y = 4
    Exit

;Funktionen udvælg retter
Func _Retter()
    $i = 0
    $NumberOfLines = _FileCountLines(@ScriptDir & "\Retter.txt")
    Do 
        $i = $i+1
    $Retter = Random(1,$NumberOfLines,1)
    $Read = FileReadLine("Retter.txt", $Retter)
;Checker at den samme ret kommer 2 dage i træk
        If $Read = "chilisuppe" Then
        $i = $i +1
    EndIf
    If $Read = "Pizza" Then
        $i = $i + 1
        EndIf
    FileWrite("Menu.txt", $Read & @CRLF)
Until $i = 7
EndFunc

this i my code, can any one help me to do a check so i dont get the same dinner 2 days in a row

    FileWrite("Menu.txt", $Read & @CRLF)
  
   ;reacord the meal to check for same meal in next loop iteration
     $prev_meal = $Read

Until $i = 7
EndFunc

I added a nested loop to keep generating random meals until one that doesnt match the previous one is generated.

I'd try to do the same thing, i only forgot to put the "clear" var in the loop (no wondering it dn't work :"> )
