reading file

[ummmmoto]

I have programming experience but am new with autoit. I was wondering how I could use the file functions to open a text file, and have it look for a certain string within the last 50 lines (its a huge text file that constantly updates).

Take a look at these functions in the helpfile:

• FileRead()
• _FileReadToArray ()
• For Loops
• Ubound

That should get you started.

this is the function I had concentrated my effort on before posting. How can I find out how many lines long the file is?
