Based on this support topic: FileReadLine problem read a very big line ​http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=84354

FileReadLine() uses a 64K buffer that will return a longer single line as multiple 64K lines. For example, 96K line will be read out as a 64K line, then a 32K line.

Jon indicates this is not a bug, so documentation should be updated reflect the limitation.

Demo:

Global $sFile = "test.txt", $hFile, $n
Global $sLine = "012345467890"
FileDelete($sFile)

; Create large line
Do
    $sLine &= $sLine
Until Stringlen($sLine) > 2^16
ConsoleWrite("Actual line length = " & StringLen($sLine) & @LF)

; Open file
$hFile = FileOpen($sFile, 2) ; Overwrite
For $n = 1 To 10
	; Write 10 lines
    FileWriteLine($hFile,$sLine)
Next
FileClose($hFile)

; Test with FileReadLine()
$n = 1 
While 1
	$sLine = FileReadLine($sFile, $n)
	If @error Then ExitLoop
	ConsoleWrite("Line " & $n & " length = " & StringLen($sLine) & @LF)
	$n += 1
WEnd

It would be easier to control the spawned process if the Pid is available. For compatibility reasons, you should introduce a sixth Parameter named showpid with the default of 0=no (return 1)

I need to build dll library with Autoit to use it after in DllCall, DllOpen ...
