Readline Query

Hey Guys,

I am pretty new to Kix, here`s my problem. I have a text file within which is a list of computer names on the network which i piped from net view, what i want to do with this is have ReadLine read each line one after another in some sort of loop so that it returns each line of text one after another from the textfile in order, just can`t seem to get my head round this one i`m afraid... doh any help is greatly appreciated ta!

Re: Readline Query

see these manual links:
open()
readline()

and once you get there (they are the same as in kixtart-manual) read them.

there is simple already made script just for what you are asking.

Re: Readline Query

The example in the manual does exactly what you are asking for:

code:

IF Open(3, @LDRIVE + "\CONFIG\SETTINGS.INI")  = 0
   $x = ReadLine(3)
   WHILE @ERROR = 0
      ? "Line read: [" + $x + "]"
      $x = ReadLine(3)
   LOOP
   Close (3)
ELSE
   BEEP
   ? "Config file not opened, error code: [" + @ERROR + "]"
ENDIF

Or have I misunderstood your query?

Re: Readline Query

It's in the manual:

code:

If Open(1,$file)=0
	$Line=ReadLine(1)
	$ReadError=@Error

	While $ReadError=0
		? $Line

		$Line=ReadLine(1)
		$ReadError=@ERROR
	Loop

	$=Close(1)
EndIf

Oops, too late [Wink]

N00NchieS,
Don't worry. If you posted it in one of the other forums you might have got stomped on, but we're more gentle in Starters. The first time, anyway [Wink]
