raca Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 First the code $ad_file = @UserProfileDir & "\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Desktop.htt" ; ad_file = active desktop file If Not FileExists($ad_file) Then MsgBox(16,"Error","Active desktop file doesn't exist") EndIf $ad_file_handler = FileOpen($ad_file,0) If $ad_file_handler = -1 Then MsgBox(16, "Error", "Unable to open active desktop file.") EndIf dim $eof_flag = False Do $line = FileReadLine($ad_file_handler) ;$line = FileRead($ad_backup_file_handler, 10) if @error = -1 Then $eof_flag = True Else MsgBox(0,"Readed",$line) EndIf Until Not $eof_flag Expected behaviour: to show the file contents in a msgbox, the same text like i see them when i open the file with wordpad Real behabiour: It's just show's this: "ÿþ<" (with no quotes) The same happen with FileRead and FileReadLine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpm Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 .htt file is not a plain text file so you need to extraxt the text befor building the text rhat you can use in the MsgBox NOBUG PS You should have post first in the "Help & Support" Forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raca Posted November 23, 2006 Author Share Posted November 23, 2006 (edited) Sorry... i knocked my head so much with this.. i thought it was an error I see the problem now, only know i when to check the encodding on the file, normal editors don't even show that detail. Anyway, autoit only reads text files. Isn't a way of read the file contents with autoit? Edited November 23, 2006 by raca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
