#163075 - 2006-06-07 09:16 PM How do I retrieve text from a text file to qualify an If Then statement
corey corey Fresh Scripter Registered: 2006-05-09 Posts: 7	I have been using Kixtart for a few years but I have not tapped many of it's features and am only using kixtart on a limited basis so much of it is unknown to me. I have a csv file that I write information about each computer to when the user logs into the network. Currently each time a computer logs into the network the computer logs another line of the same information to the file. The line is listed below (I shortened it up a little). $LogText="@WKSTA,@USERID,@ADDRESS,@IPADDRESS0" I would like to check the file for a value and if it exists I would like to exit the Kixtart Script and not write a new line. The value I would like to find is the computer name (@wksta) and it is the first value in each row. Is this possible? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank You

This way we can sort records to help us find issues more quickly (like outdated software). I am not sure of all of my options and what would be the best approach so I do appreciate the feedback. If I use an ini file, can I update it or will the file get overwritten each time. I think this option may work though.
