New Line

[Shorty]

I am writing a program that grabs the song title from VLC media player when I'm playing streams so I can write down the name of songs I like. I need the FileWrite Function to write a new line to the file after it writes the title to my file so it isn't one giant string but I cant seem to figure out how to do that. Any help would be great.

have a look at @CR and @CRLF in the help file.

Usage like - ConsoleWrite("The button is " & $oButton & @CRLF)

Shorty,

Look at FileWriteLine - it adds the @CRLF for you.

Oops, Stupid mistake, I had that earlier just used incorrectly rofl. Thanks Alot!

Now I have another question. How can I make it so that it wont write repeats to the file? (Such As The Same Song Twice)

I think you'll have to check that manually.

You can use an array of strings check each element before you insert it. There is no distinct function here that I know of

I know there isn't a function to do it, Let me reword. What would be a basic layout to check if the title is already listed or not?

Here is a very quick example - not the best i'm sure but its a good start.

It may not compile but i'm sure you can fix that. The idea is to search the array for the item to see if its there before you try to enter a new item.

Once you are done you can use a loop to write out the array to a file.

Global $aArray[1]
aArray[1] = "First Title" ; you need to do this to make sure an array is declared. 

Global $inputText ; you can fill this

if (_ArraySearch($aArray, $inputText) == -1) ; see if its there or not - i'm sure there is a better way to do this
    _ArrayInsert($aArray, $inputText)
EndIf
