As far as I know the 's' switch looks for a line starting with the specified word. Is there a line in readme.txt that starts with mIRC? The following works for me: //echo -a $read(versions.txt,s,mirc,1) (I inserted a line beginning with mIRC for testing purposes).

//echo -a $read(versions.txt,w,*mIRC*,1) works fine for me too.

Tested on 6.15\XP Home.
