Is the file opening? Also you may want a Do...Until.

JS

[t0ddie]

its not even changing the FIRST line.. yeah. its opening.

other than that, i thought it was supposed to run till the end of the file.. hence the @error = -1

i got this from the help file

; 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)

i just changed it a bit to do what i wanted. but yeah.. like i said, i have been at this about 45 min. i tried a few things. any sugggestions?

EDIT: this shouldnt need a do.. until

you're opening the file readonly, is that a problem? There's no point where you're writing the info back to the file, or to another one.

$file = FileOpen("ACCOUNTS.txt", 0)

While 1

    $line = FileReadLine($file)

If @error = -1 Then ExitLoop

StringReplace($line," ",":")

Wend

FileClose($file)

I'm working on it.. so far I copied your code and created a file and I cant even get it to open :-/

JS

[t0ddie]

well, i just run the script from the helpfile

$file = FileOpen("ACCOUNTS.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)

and when i run that, it works. i mean.. i get a message box, with the first line in the .txt file.

it then gives me the second line.. third line... so on so on.

can the stringreplace function see the space i put in the quotes? everything seems to be working fine except for the stringreplace line.

but when i run this script.. it just ends. it does nothitng that i can see.

$file = FileOpen("ACCOUNTS.txt",0)

While 1

$line = FileReadLine($file)

If @error = -1 Then ExitLoop

StringReplace($line," ",":")

Wend

FileClose($file)

exit

so.. yeah. im stuck lol

My code? That's your code... I didn't change it at all.

Edit: Excuse me, my mistake.

You have to assing the return value of StringReplace() to something, it doesn't perform an in-line operation.

[t0ddie]

so, i would have to write them into a new file you are saying? or something like that?

[JSThePatriot]

Okay I figured it out. (Kinda)

You arent writing what you got back to the file...or to another file.

$g_szVersion = "Test 1.0"
If WinExists($g_szVersion) Then Exit; It's already running
AutoItWinSetTitle($g_szVersion)


$file = FileOpen("ACCOUNTS.txt", 0)

While 1
$line = FileReadLine($file)
If @error = -1 Then ExitLoop
$linewrite = StringReplace($line," ",":")
FileWriteLine("ACCOUNTS.txt", $linewrite)
Wend
FileClose($file)
exit

Play with that for a bit let me know how it works out for you.

JS

[JSThePatriot]

LOL you guys beat me to it, but there are some bugs... I just added the filewriteline() and it kept adding lines :-P Lots of them so maybe try writing it to a new file...

$g_szVersion = "Test 1.0"
If WinExists($g_szVersion) Then Exit; It's already running
AutoItWinSetTitle($g_szVersion)


$file = FileOpen("ACCOUNTS.txt", 0)

While 1
$line = FileReadLine($file)
If @error = -1 Then ExitLoop
$linewrite = StringReplace($line," ",":")
FileWriteLine("ACCOUNTS1.txt", $linewrite)
Wend
FileClose($file)
exit

It works...

JS

[t0ddie]

yeah, i ran that first one, and it copied my list to itself, in the new edited version.. with the colon.. over and over. the file was HUGE lol

SECOND version works great

TY!
