The quotation marks look strange and non-standard.
Most likely, it should be " instead of “ and ”. Edit: Now fixed by BoBo

Untested.

it works but it keep looping. and pop out.
i need to send msg to 1st line, then only trigger 2nd line.

The same general syntax should also work with your variable named line that you used above.
The loop was just an example.

The main reason why I’ve changed to a Loop from FileReadLine is that the OP has used A_Index what if used intentionally is only available within a Loop, AFAIK.

The built-in variable A_Index contains the number of the current loop iteration. It contains 1 the first time the loop's body is executed. For the second time, it contains 2; and so on. If an inner loop is enclosed by an outer loop, the inner loop takes precedence. A_Index works inside all types of loops, including file-loops and registry-loops; but A_Index contains 0 outside of a loop.

use RunWait instead of Run

In your original script, A_Index is null because a loop is not being used. The following will work. I removed &text=, but you can add it if needed.

Code: Select all

lineNum := 0, addresses := A_Desktop "\wsend.txt"

F1::
FileReadLine, line, %addresses%, % ++lineNum
If ErrorLevel {
 MsgBox, 48, Done, There are no more addresses.
 lineNum := 0
} Else Run, chrome.exe https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=601%line%
Return
