Read from a text file?


Recommended Posts

I want my script to read from .txt file or .ini and perform different actions on the items in the text file.

For example,

test.txt contains

C:\ak.txt

D:\b.txt

E:\c.txt,

I want my script to copy the file that's on the first line(i.e, C:\ak.txt), delete the file on the second line and move the file on the third line.

I was able to read from the text file but I only can perform one operation. Is there any way to do this?

Thanx in advance!

I am not sure I understand. Have you looked at?

What I need my script file to do is to perform different actions on the files that are in the test.txt file.

I want it to copy the file that is on the first line (C:\ak.txt)

Delete the file on the second line(D:\B.txt)

Move the file on the third line(E:\c.txt)

So if you write the path of your file on the first line, it will be copied and if you write the path of your file on the second line it will be deleted and so on.

Use this

For $i=1 to 500
$var=FileReadLine("x:\test.txt",$i)
If $var="" Then ExitLoop

If $i=1 Then FileCopy($var,"c:\temp\file.txt"); copies that file to temp folder
If $i=2 Then FileDelete($var); delete file on 2nd line
if $i=3 Then FileMove($var,"c:\temp\file.txt"); moves file on 3rd line
