Random + Notepad thing...

[RandomGuest]

How can I make so when I push a button the script will chose 1 of 100 different texts and show one of them in notepad?

(I read the random thing in the manual, didnt understand it tho )

Declare an array..Add texts as elements in it..Then random a # from 0-99 and use as array's index..rest you know

An array is just a way to hold more information in an array.

dim $yourarray[10];10 is the number of "variabels" we want in our array , starting from zero
$yourarray[0]="one";you can now access this text by using $yourarray[0]
$yourarray[1]="two"
$yourarray[2]="three"
;So to get some random text:
msgbox(0,"",$yourarray[random(0,3)]);if random returns 0 the msgbox will say one, if 1 then it will say two if 2 it will say three

You did read the Help file example for Random() and Dim where it also talks about arrays? Help file example code for Random()

;Random letter
If Random() < 0.5 Then
    ;Capitals
    $Letter = Chr(Random(Asc("A"), Asc("Z"), 1))
Else
    ;Lower case
    $Letter = Chr(Random(Asc("a"), Asc("z"), 1))
Endif

How can I make so the text(one,two,three) shows in notepad and not in a messagebox?

If it must display in an "open" window, look at ControlSetText() or ControlSend() to set/send the information.

If it's something you just want to open with the data showing, look at FileWrite()+ShellExecute().

P.S.

You've been here, a part of this forum for 6 months, that's more than enough time for knowing the basic questions as you have presented in this post. Show some effort next time, just saying you are "new" doesn't make you immune to reading and comprehending the help file, it's an insult to those of us that have spent a lot of our time to learn what it is that we need to know, to accomplish what we want to achieve.
