Reading text file to variable

[R0B45]

Im quite new, and I was just wondering the possibility of reading a text file line by line into a single variable.

After each iteration the variable reads the next line in the text file based on a counter. If this is possible, suggestions or the code would be awesome.

Thanks

Check out "FileReadLine" in the manual. It may be exactly what you want =]

CODE

a$file = FileOpen("test.txt", 0)

; Check if file opened for reading OK

If $file = -1 Then

MsgBox(0, "Error", "Unable to open file.")

Exit

EndIf

; Read in lines of text until the EOF is reached

While 1

$line = FileReadLine($file)

If @error = -1 Then ExitLoop

MsgBox(0, "Line read:", $line)

Wend

FileClose($file)

FileReadLine seem the obvious choice but you might consider also _FileReadToArray included into File.au3 UDF

That one will read all the content of the file into an array, each array element being a text line.
