EOF function ? TIME$ function ?

[JustDoIt]

Newbie here. I am looking for AutoIt's function that does "EOF". Can someone tell me what that is ?

Also, does AutoIt have something similar to BASIC's TIME$ function ?

Thank you.

Hi,

EOF = end of file?

$time= ???

What do you want to do?

So long,

EOF = end of file?

Yes.

$time= ???

What do you want to do?

To return the system time.

#Include <Date.au3>
_NowTime ( [$sType] )

$sType

Default: 3 = Display a time using the time format specified in your computer's regional settings.

4 = Display a time using the 24-hour format (hh:mm).

5 = Display a time using the 24-hour format (hh:mm:ss).

Thanks Christ for pointing out _NowTime function

Is this code considered EOF function ?

$x = FileReadLine("C:\someFile.txt")
If @error = -1 Then

This will work to get the last line of a file:

#include <File.au3>

$lines = _FileCountLines("file.txt")
$line = FileReadLine("file.txt", $lines)

Yes in what you are doing if @error returns -1 then you have reached the end of file

From the help file...

Sets @error to -1 if end-of-file is reached.

You can just put that in a loop:

Do
    $x = FileReadLine("C:\somefile.txt")
Until @error = -1

But instead of doing the loop, which could take a while, try the way I suggested earlier. Only one FileReadLine, because if the file was big this method would take a loooooooong time.
