Trying to read a file and output text Topic is solved

[Sashabot]

Hello, I am trying to send keyboard outputs depending on the information in a text file, I am very new to AutoHotkey and I am unsure where this information would be I read FileAppend & file-reading loop and am unsure of how to go about this.
I am pretty new to AHK but this is what I have and it just flat out looks wrong to me.

My example of what I have:

Code: Select all

ESC::ExitApp

#SingleInstance, Force

    F7::
    Loop, read, C:\Users\M\Desktop\logger.txt
    If line, $Test {
        Send, Hello!
    }
    else line, $Hello
        Send, How are you!
    }
    else line, $how are you
        Send, Fine!
}

Hello,

Yeah, that is a mess indeed
But it's doable.

Where do you want to send the commands to?
What are the commands? Text? Keypresses?

FileAppend is meant as file appending, not reading.
It outputs the data (variable) to a file.

Do you want to build a chat-bot, is that it?

Yes, sir/ma'am! it's sort of a chat-bot!
I just want some replies, I already have a way of outputting text from the program,
I just need to have a script that finds certain keywords and reply to the messages!

Well, that's kind of a BIG way to get started in AHK..

Little warning, you have a LOT of work in front of you

I can use this to read a file and output keyboard inputs?

[Sashabot]

I found the commands I was looking for

Code: Select all

Loop, Read, C:\Users\M\Desktop\logger.txt  ; reads through the file
{
    if InStr(A_LoopReadLine, "$Test") ; "" anything in the quotaions will be checked
        send,O ; sends o
