Hello,

How to read the specified line using File.ReadLine() ?

For example, read the third line of a text file, what should I do?

Thanks.

I have a notepad testing.txt containing this:
this is the 1st line
this is the 2nd line
this is the 3rd line
this is the 4th line

Code: Select all

fileread, contents,  %A_Desktop%/testing.txt	;reads the notepad
loop, parse, contents, `n	;read notepad line by line
{
	if a_index = 3	;if line number = 3
		line%a_index% = %a_loopfield%	;assign var
}

msgbox %line3%

;#######################################################################
exitapp
esc::ExitApp

Code: Select all

MsgBox % readLineNum(3, FileOpen("C:\mylongasstxtfile.txt", "r"))

readLineNum(lineNum, fileObj) {
	Loop % lineNum
	{
		line := ""
		readLine := fileObj.ReadLine()

		Loop 
		{
			line .= readLine

			if !(StrLen(readLine := fileObj.ReadLine()) == 65535)
			{
				line .= readLine
				continue 2
			}
		}
	}

	return line
}
