_IEReadText() and StringSplit() to separate the usernames from the passwords. Just create a hidden IE window, navigate to that page, read the text,then compare it.

well currently the way my program is written is it reads the text document and assigns them to arrays and compares the arrays to the user's input.

I am just attempting to find a way to get that file to read because currently the file path is just '/list.txt' and i want it to be like 'http://omgwtfbbq.com/list.txt'

1) There is an edit button, please stop double posting. It's considered rude on forums.

2) Did you try my suggestion? Create an invisible IE window, navigate to your file (you said you had it hosted), get the body text, then close the window. You have the text you want then you can still assign it to arrays, StringSplit() returns an array.

Returns an array, the first element ($array[0]) contains the number of strings returned, the remaining elements ($array[1], $array[2], etc.) contain the delimited strings.

If no delimiters were found @error is set to 1, the count is 1 ($array[0]) and the full string is returned ($array[1]).

#include <IE.au3>
#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#include <String.au3>
;
$oIE = _IECreate("ulr", 0, 0, 0)
$text = _IEBodyReadText($oIE)


MsgBox(0, "", $text)
;

for some reason I get a blank

[dbzfanatic]

Duh, you told it to go to the site "ulr", which I'm assuming is supposed to be "url". Either way it's not a valid site address. It must be valid and since you have your file hosted simply put that in for the navigation and use _IECreate("http://someurl.com",1,0,1,0) instead.

Okay, so now I got a new problem because i changed the way i wanna do the program to make it simpler.

so I parsed 3 strings together

username, the seperator and password:

example:

username-password

now my $text = _IEBodyReadText($oIE)

and I want to string split or getline each line seperately because the text it reads is like the following:

Example:

omg-wtf

username-password

help-me

iam-noob

uh-oh

and basically what I want to do is get each line and assign it to an array and have the parsed string be compared to the line taken from the bodytext.

I know in C++ I could easily do this:

int i = 0;
string parse = omg-wtf;
vector<string> line;
bool statement = false;

While(line[i] = text.getline)
{
i++;
}

for(j = 0; j < i; j++)
{
  if(line[j] == parse;
   {
     statement = true;
     j = i;
   }
  else
   {
     statement = false;
   }
}

if(statement)
{
~~~~Run~~~
}
else
{
exit(0);
}

so is there a way i can basically convert that code into autoit? so far I have this much converted:

$i = 0
$parse = omg-wtf
$line
$statement
$oIE = _IECreate("http://blahblah.com/list.txt", 0, 0)
$text = _IEBodyReadText($oIE)

While($line[i] = text.getline)     ;;;;;;;;;;; this is where I am having my trouble how would I do my getline for my $text
{
$i + 1
}

for $j = 0 To $i

  if $line[j] = $parse Then
     statement = true;
     $j = $i
  else
     $statement = false;

Next

if $statement = true
~~~~Run~~~
else
$return 0

[botanic]

could use _FileReadToArray

[leevy]

I'm also interested in it. some guys have the better way except _File?

[ProgAndy]

Well, you could do it this way:

#include <INet.au3>

$Found = False

$find = "  The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog"

$URL = "http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/examples/quickbrown.txt"
$Source = _INetGetSource($URL)


;~ $lines = StringSplit(StringStripCR($Source),@LF)
;~ For $i = 1 To UBound($lines)-1
;~  If $lines[$i] = $find Then
;~      $Found = True
;~      ExitLoop
;~  EndIf
;~ Next

If StringInStr(@LF&StringStripCR($Source)&@LF,@LF&$find&@LF) Then $Found=True

If $Found Then
    MsgBox(0, '', "found")
Else
    MsgBox(0, '', "NOT  found")
EndIf

but it's not very save to use this as Login func. If someone gets to know the address, he has all the usernames and passwords ...
