StringSplit should work with the way your doing it now.

Not enough info to help any more.

Yes, stringsplit will work...

So will _FileReadToArray()

#include <file.au3>
Dim   $aRecords
If Not   _FileReadToArray("error.log",$aRecords) Then
   MsgBox(4096,"Error", " Error reading log to Array       error:" & @error)
   Exit
EndIf
For $x =   1 to $aRecords[0]
    Msgbox(0,'Record:' & $x, $aRecords[$x])
Next

If you run the following, what do you get?

#include <array.au3>

$WinTitle = "Title of Window" ; <=== Edit for title
$CtrlID = 1234 ; <=== Edit for control ID
$TextIn = ControlGetText($WinTitle, "", $CID)

MsgBox(64, "Read Data", "Text = " & $TextIn)

$SplitArray = StringSplit($TextIn, @CRLF)
_ArrayDisplay($SplitArray, "$SplitArray")

The interesting thing will be how lines are delimited. The above code uses @CRLF, but it might be just @CR or @LF, or some other character.

P.S. It matters what kind of control, to. For example a listview can be read one item at a time by ControlListView() commands.
