Forums Scripts & Popups Random and Chosen quotes

ok, I've searched and I've manually had a look and didn't find anything.
A few years back, I had some code in aliases.ini to pull quotes from a text file.
One line would quote a chosen line (e.g. <Username> Quote #12: You're not as real as you think you are) while the other would just go random (e.g. <Username> Random Quote #233: This house is protected by killer dust bunnies.)
Anyhow, took a break from mIRC for a year or two, new computer, downloaded latest mIRC. But now I can only get the random quotes to work.
These are the two lines I have in aliases.ini:

/qq /say Quote $read-1 $+ $$1(C:\Program Files\mIRC\quotes.txt)
/quote /say Random Quote $read(C:\Program Files\mIRC\quotes.txt)

They were copied from the original ini file.

I honestly Don't see how that's ever worked.
the code to read a certain line would be

.. where in you'd use /qq LineNumber and it'd message the channel with the quote on that line number.

try it like this, see if it works

/qq say Quote Number $$1 $read -l $+ $$1 quotes.txt
/quote say Random Quote: quotes.txt

usage
/qq 12
posts line 12 of quotes.txt with "Quote Number (the number)" in front

/quote
posts a random line from quotes.txt with "Random Quote:" in the front.

Thank you all for your help. I ended up using MikeChat's suggestion with a minor modification.

I forgot that I had numbered each quote (e.g. #7: blah blah blah), so it came up with the quote number twice. By having just;

/qq say Quote $read -l $+ $$1 quotes.txt

it now comes up with Quote #7: blah blah blah. Perfect.

I backspaced a few too many

/quote say Random Quote: quotes.txt
should be
/quote say Random Quote:$read(quotes.txt)
