How can I retrieve multi-line data from a gui edit box, then place a constant variable in from of each line? I am creating an inventory program to track servers in my data center. I have created a gui that stores the grid location at %grid%. You then scan all of the servers in that location and the edit box lists all of the servers as I enter them. Just like this.

I need the program to append the data to the end of a .cvs comma delimited file. Like this.

My constant is %grid%

Hi.

You need to use the ControlGetText.

Example using the calc.exe

Well first I need to be able to retrieve the data from the edit box. I keep geting "Error: The same variable cannot be used for more than one control. Specifically: vServers" for the following line of code.

Ok I dropped the "vServers" and use ControlGetText like Extreminador said. Now the code looks like this.

I am not sure what you want to do, but if the edit have only Server2 the only way to modify that result is after the getText you add manualy the rest.
