You're using the $file var to search it, FileOpen ($File) only returns an handle, not what the text says, look at FileReadLine() or FileRead().

so, something like:

$s_File = FileRead("new.txt", FileGetSize("new.txt"))
ClipPut(StringMid($s_File, 7, 2))

EDIT: Gah, smoke is the fastest gun around here!!
