[aeau2080]

i have a program that backup my files and upload it to gmail accounts.... and i need many gmail accounts so i am trying to make this macro to semi-automatically creates gmail accounts (of course i have to enter the capchars)...

1- i created a file namelist.txt with the logins i want to create one per line

2- i created a file password.txt with the password i will use with all the accounts

3- i created a file created acccounts.txt to save the created accounts to it

4- i have been working on it for a couple of days with the help of the user oMBRa on this forums, the help file and google

5- after many rewrites and retries i got it to work but not as it should

"i know the code is a mess but that's the best i could do as a n00b"

the problems are

1- if the username is already taken it should reset the value to the next username and re enter the password...but it does not the username is still the same and the password field is empty... it seems like a problem with the multilevel while loops...

[Roman9]

Where you have

$Username = FileReadLine($NameList, 1)

Replace it with

$Username = FileReadLine($NameList, $line)
$line+=1

And don't forget to add Global $line = 1 at the top of your script.

thanks roman9 but it didn't help ... still the same problem...
