Forums Scripts & Popups I need some help on $read and $readini

i've never had too much luck with the wildcard search
how i get around it is :-
var %line 1
While ($read(file.txt,%line) != Null){
if (%searchtxt isin $read(file.txt,%line)) {
msg $chan $gettok($read(file.txt,%line),2,61)
break or halt
}
inc %line
}


not the best method but it does work (providing the file.txt is not too big
