Forums Scripts & Popups $read is acting strange upon a certain file.

I am writing an addon for my webserver (programmed in mIRC lol) that will basically draw a chart on a webpage, given various points/formulas...

In the process the script generates a datafile with the following contents:

[c:\graph.dat]
1
320
1
1
320
1
320
320

This is fine, however when I go to read it, mIRC acts strangely. If I were to do an //echo -s $read(graph.dat,1), the 2nd line is returned. By the same token, if I were to do $read(graph.dat,0) it reads the first line - which is usually not the case . Of course, if I try to read the last line, //echo -s $read(graph.dat,8), I get an error. Why is the count starting at 0? All other files I've ever used start at $read(file,1)

I've tried several different files, and even different versions of mIRC (I have the latest, 6.2 btw), and the same problem is produced.

(I posted this under the scripts section because I'm not 100% sure that it is actually a 'bug').

Please get back to me soon.
Thanks in advance, Qb_Master.

If you read the help file about $read, you will notice this note:



So, use $read(filename.txt,t,1) and you'll get the first line, even if it's a number.

Thanks, I accidentally skipped over that line, found out a few hours later lol. Thanks for the help
