Copy file contents to outlook express body.

[jfcby]

Hi,

I'm tring to copy the contents of a file to Outlook Express body.

I'm using _FileReadToArray() from the help file which I can not get to work.

The file array.txt is located in the script directory. It always errors out with error 1 (Error opening specified file). I've tried these: _FileReadToArray("array.txt",$aRecords) & _FileReadToArray(@ScriptDir & "\array.txt",$aRecords)

CODE

#include <GuiConstants.au3>

#include <Array.au3>

#include <file.au3>

Dim $aRecords

If Not _FileReadToArray(@ScriptDir & "\array.txt",$aRecords) Then

MsgBox(4096,"Error", " Error reading log to Array error:" & @error)

Exit

EndIf

_ArrayDisplay($aRecords, "as read")

I also searched the forum and found the following script.

CODE

#include <GuiConstants.au3>

#include <Array.au3>

#include <file.au3>

;************

;make array

;************

Dim $MyArray[1]

For $n = 101 to 105

_ArrayAdd($MyArray, $n/10 )

Next

$MyArray[0] = Ubound($MyArray) - 1

;***********************

;display original array

;***********************

_ArrayDisplay($MyArray, "array")

;************************

;save array to text file

;************************

_FileWriteFromArray("array.txt" , $MyArray,1)

MsgBox(0, "", "array was written to text file ")

;**************************

;read array from text file

;**************************

Dim $NewArray

If Not _FileReadToArray("array.txt",$NewArray) Then

MsgBox(4096,"Error", " Error reading Array error:" & @error)

Exit

EndIf

;**********************************

;display array read from text file

;**********************************

_ArrayDisplay($NewArray, "as read")

But, I need this part of the script and it does not work either:

CODE

;**************************

;read array from text file

;**************************

Dim $NewArray

If Not _FileReadToArray("array.txt",$NewArray) Then

MsgBox(4096,"Error", " Error reading Array error:" & @error)

Exit

EndIf

;**********************************

;display array read from text file

;**********************************

_ArrayDisplay($NewArray, "as read")

How can I the contents of a file to a varible using an array?

Thank you for your help,

I don't see anything wrong with your use of the _FileReadToArray() function. The error is more likely some kind of permissions or path error to the particular file.

Try testing your path with FileExists() first, then a simple read with FileRead() to a string.
