Hi,

It seems there is a bug in FilereadLine Command.

I have a text file and I want to create a new file wich contain only line which contain a certain word (%Status%).
The first script (wich use filereadline) didn't stop (loop) if the last line of text file contain the search word.
The second script use a simple loop to read text and it works.

The first script:

I'm not sure exactly how you're expecting FileReadLine to act, but it will not break from the loop automatically, since there's no way for it to know the Loop even relates to file reading. For that, you must check ErrorLevel and break (or not) accordingly. (Assuming ErrorLevel is set when the requested line doesn't exist; I've honestly never used FileReadLine.)

Thank you for your comment.

My text file is 100 Ko.
Filereadline works fine if the last line doesn't contain the search word.
It make loop only if the last line contain the search word.

You are right about the position of errorlevel. I try to put it just after the filereadline and test.

I'll give you result.

My importantly, FileReadLine is much less efficient. It has to open and close the file every iteration, and read through the file to find the relevant line. Loop,Read, on the other hand, opens the file once and reads each line one at a time. It also automatically stops looping when it gets to the end of the file.

I strongly recommend you replace
