Const

[anixon]

How do I make the the value assigned to $line using FileReadLine a 'Const' for the time that the script is running?

$file = FileOpen("c:\temp\test\xyz.txt", 0)

; Check if file opened for reading OK

If $file = -1 Then

MsgBox(0, "Error", "Unable to open file.")

Exit

EndIf

; Read in lines of text until the EOF is reached

While 1

$line = FileReadLine($file)

If @error = -1 Then ExitLoop

MsgBox(0, "Line read:", $line)

Wend

FileClose($file)

You don't

$s_text = ""
$file = FileOpen("c:\temp\test\xyz.txt", 0)

; Check if file opened for reading OK
If $file = -1 Then
    MsgBox(0, "Error", "Unable to open file.")
    Exit
EndIf

; Read in lines of text until the EOF is reached
While 1
    $line = FileReadLine($file)
    If @error = -1 Then ExitLoop
    $s_text &= $line & @LF
WEnd

FileClose($file)
$s_text = StringTrimRight($s_text,1)
MsgBox(0,"File Read", $s_text)
