FileReadLine

[mmikeww]

can replace

FileReadLine, line, C:\My Documents\ContactList.txt, 5

with

Loop, Read, C:\My Documents\ContactList.txt
{
   if (A_Index = 5)
   {
      line := A_LoopReadLine
      break
   }
}

or using file objects

file := FileOpen("C:\My Documents\ContactList.txt", "r")
Loop 5
   line := file.ReadLine()
file.Close()

[mmikeww]

what about this from the v1 help file?

Loop
{
    FileReadLine, line, C:\My Documents\ContactList.txt, %A_Index%
    if ErrorLevel
        break
    MsgBox, 4, , Line #%A_Index% is "%line%".  Continue?
    IfMsgBox, No
        return
}

that would mean something like this

Loop
{
    i := A_Index
    Loop, Read, C:\My Documents\ContactList.txt
    {
       if (A_Index = i)
       {
          line := A_LoopReadLine
          break
       }
    }
    if ErrorLevel
        break
    MsgBox, 4, , Line #%A_Index% is "%line%".  Continue?
    IfMsgBox, No
        return
}

but this code is also checking ErrorLevel, really not any good solution

This is the correct conversion (not yet implemented) if ErrorLevel is not present in the script, we can skip the setting of it.

try{ ErrorLevel := 0 Text_FileRead := FileRead("C:\Users\Dimitri\Documents\FTsPLog.txt") line := StrSplit(Text_FileRead,"n","r")[A_Index] } Catch{ line := "" ErrorLevel := 1 }
