winread/line?

[ravenfyre]

Is there any way to make AutoIt read specific text from a window? Finding a key like iniread or more simple yet reading a line like filereadline? WinGetText is great but if the text is long and I start messing around splitting it up and using stringinstr to search for a specific key then it will get processor intense if I need it to be done quickly and frequently. I'm sure there must be something like winreadline, or something with a similar function which I may have overlooked in the help file.

you can stringsplit the text like:

$wtext = WinGetText("?????????")
$wtext = StringReplace($wtext, @CR, "")
$winrec = StringSplit($wtext, @LF)
For $x = 1 To $winrec[0]
   MsgBox(4096, 'debug:', 'record:' & $winrec[$x]);### Debug MSGBOX 
Next

Thanks JdeB for replying. Well I guess no cheap shortcuts, having to read all the text first (WinGetText) is the only way it would seem ^^.

is there a command to get the last line of text from a window ?
