Read A File To An Array HELP

[SteveO]

I'm trying to read a file to an array, then outputting the line into a message box. I know it's probably a simple thing that I'm just not seeing....

Dim $aMessages
    $file = FileOpen("messages.txt", 0)
    If $file = -1 Then
        MsgBox(0, "Error", "Unable to open file.")
        Exit
    EndIf
        _FileReadToArray("messages.txt", $aMessages)
        MsgBox(0, "Test" & $ver, $aMessages)
    FileClose($file)

_FileOpen() ... Remove that... _FileReadToArray() already has it in it.

Edit:

Also, once it is done, $aMessages will be an array, you can't check it like MsgBox(0, 0, $aMessage)

It will have elements ie... $aMessage[0] will equal something, $aMessage[1] will equal something etc...

Use _ArrayDisplay($aMessages, "my array") to see the result.

Okay, changed the code too...

Dim $aMessages
        _FileReadToArray("messages.txt", $aMessages)
        MsgBox(0, "Test" & $ver, $aMessages)

Still doesn't wana output the array.

EDIT:

Okay, cool it works! Thanks =)

You need to use _ArrayDisplay for that:

#include <file.au3>
#include <array.au3>
Dim $as_MessageTxt
_FileReadToArray("messages.txt",$as_MessageTxt)
_ArrayDisplay($as_MessageTxt)

You should now be able to see the array.
