Ok, the topic is probably not crystal-clear but I will try to explain what I want to achieve.

At work we use a simple Telnet-prompt for picking orders witch looks like this: Posted Image

The problem is that the Item-number that is printed on the boxes are not the same as the Item-number in the Telnet-prompt.

If logging is enabled in telnet, is it possible to scan that file and make a gui with some info and picture pop up depending on what the last item-number is in the file?

The log looks like this:

Item      :30105901
UOM       :TH
Qty       :14
From Sub  :DJ
From Loc  :DJ.34..
To LPN    >STO222135008
To Sub    :UTLAST
To Loc    :UTLAST...
 
<Drop>
<Discrepancy>
<Skip Task>
<Cancel>
 
Item      :30112608
UOM       :TH
Qty       :2
From Sub  :DJ
From Loc  :DJ.38..
To LPN    >
To Sub    :UTLAST
To Loc    :UTLAST...
<Drop/Next>
<Drop>
<Discrepancy>
<Skip Task>
<Cancel>

The only thing that is interesting is the last 13 lines of that file. I do not want anything to show if it does not match and I want to be able to add different pictures+info for each item-number. The last 5 rows in that example is the only thing that does not change.

Is that possible and could someone point me in the right direction?

i can't write a nice example, but TF_Tail (hugoV's TF library) and Regex should get all the data you want from the log file.

Ok, I am trying baby-steps here. Why does this not work when trying it on the logfile?

FileRead, File_String, C:\telnet.txt
StringRight, Last_15, File_String, 15
if InStr(Last_15, "Item") != 0
   MsgBox True
else
   MsgBox False

I am trying to get the script to read the 15 last rows and check for the word "Item"

15 is 15 characters not 15 lines as you think it does in your code above.
http://www.autohotke... ... rsandfiles see the two tail links. Search the forum for tail and you'll find 15 or so more tail functions ;-)

Damn, it feels like this could take years to understand how it works. There should be an marketplace in the forum for beginners like me to buy complete solutions

If you are using AHK_L you may "buy" my FileTail() function. :wink:

Can anyone give me some examples or explain how to firstly make the script identify this sequence:

Item      :30112608
UOM       :TH
Qty       :2
From Sub  :DJ
From Loc  :DJ.38..
To LPN    >
To Sub    :UTLAST
To Loc    :UTLAST...
<Drop/Next>
<Drop>
<Discrepancy>
<Skip Task>
<Cancel>

It is always 13 lines and starts with "Item" and ends with "" and make it so it only looks for it in the bottom of the text-file as it updates constantly.
