String too long?

[SoW]

I have a script that writes to a file, and also gets each line from a file.

The lines are pretty long sometimes, and sometimes contain spaces, % signs, -, ~, etc; many special characters.

I'm using the GUICtrlCreateListViewitem() to list each line, and it was working good, but I notice that some of the longer lines showed until the divider, but when I drag the divider to see the full line, it just DISAPPEARS.

Any idea why?

$line = FileReadLine($file)

is what I am using. I think I need to make it seem like a character or something, but how would I do that?

code my man, we need to see your code. Mind readers we are not. remote viewers of minds we are not. When you share your code, we can gladly help.

Well, I PM'd Volly but I suppose I have to post my code here. I know it's bad, but it's my first day using AutoIt.

I sent you a update of your code back...I fixed a few things...

[SoW]

Received. You said something about Ini (I would assume that would use IniRead() and IniWrite()).

Can somebody explain using Inis to store data please?

[Bert]

take a look at this post.

I read, but it looks like the same that I have done, just with a .ini file.

I don't understand why if I type something like:

"Hoz - 200% ed - Rabbit-Uniques"

minus the double-quotes, it shows up as Hoz - 200... then when I move the bar so I can see the full word, it just disappears.
