Anna: I would highly recommend to replace all hardcoded file handles with the FREEFILEHANDLE(). The script fragment below will loop until a free filehandle has been received, thus up to ten files can be opened at the same time.
code:
$handle=freefilehandle()
while not $handle
  $handle=freefilehandle()
  sleep 0.1
loop
$rc = Open($handle,"c:\templog.txt",2)
IF $rc = 0
	? "file open"
	$result = ReadLine($handle)
	$x = SUBSTR("$result",20,15)
	? "substr = " + $x
	$ = Close($handle)
ELSE
	? "File not open: Return code = " + $rc
	? "Hit any key to continue"
	Get $
EndIf
