FileReadLine

[zvd 0]

Hello, in the following example, exclude.txt has 5 lines of text. The message box pops up 5 times to display each line of text. How can I make just one message box pop up with all 5 lines of text on one line?

Thanks|

$file = FileOpen("c:\temp\exclude.txt", 0)
If $file = -1 Then
   MsgBox(0, "Error", "Unable to open file.")
   Exit
EndIf

While 1
   $line = FileReadLine($file)
   If @error = -1 Then ExitLoop
   MsgBox(0, "Test", $line)
WEnd
FileClose($file)

Just store each line into a variable

Global $total
$file = FileOpen("c:\temp\exclude.txt", 0)

If $file = -1 Then
    MsgBox(0, "Error", "Unable to open file.")
    Exit
EndIf

While 1
    $line = FileReadLine($file)
    If @error = -1 Then ExitLoop
    $total = $total & @CRLF & $line
WEnd

FileClose($file)

MsgBox(0, "Test", $total)

Edit:

Code mistake fixed.

MsgBox(0, "Test", FileRead("c:\temp\exclude.txt"))

You're example would only ever read the first line anyway. You never increase $line.

$sString = StringReplace(StringStripCR(FileRead("c:\temp\exclude.txt")), @LF, ' ')
MsgBox(64, 'Info', $sString)

The Carriage Returns/Line Feeds are replaced by spaces.

$file = FileOpen("c:\temp\exclude.txt", 0)
Global $Line[6]
If $file = -1 Then
   MsgBox(0, "Error", "Unable to open file.")
   Exit
EndIf

While 1
   $Message = ""
   For $i = 1 to 5
   $line[$i] = FileReadLine($file,$i)
   $Message= $Message&$Line[$i]&@CRLF
   Next
   If @error = -1 Then ExitLoop
   MsgBox(0, "Test", $message)
WEnd
FileClose($file)

Yeah, I was beat...

Thanks! One thing - the number of lines in the text file may change....

i use file read to array

from help

#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[/color]

Yes, I tried working with that but had the same problem - trying to get just one message box with all the text on just one line (no CRLF's).

I gave you the answer then.

Not true.

If he hadn't used FileOpen but given FileReadLine the filename instead, it's true however.

When FileReadLine is given a handle it loops through the file, line by line.

$sFile = FileOpenDialog("", "", "Text (*.*)")
If @error Then Exit

$hFile = FileOpen($sFile, 0)
If @error Then Exit

While 1
    $sLine = FileReadLine($hFile)
    If @error Then ExitLoop
    
    MsgBox(64, "", StringLeft($sLine, 40) & "...")
WEnd

MsgBox(64, "", "Finished")

I can honestly say, I didn't... I didn't even know that ... thanks. Edited January 20, 2007 by SmOke_N
