Make sure you have your variables set in advance, if it's not receiving the variable or the textfile, then it'll show insufficient parameters. A long-shot error you may have is that the first line in your .txt file might be a number? - If the first line in a textfile is a number it will be treated as the number of lines the textfile has.

But I don't know why, it's there when I look manually ? ---------------------------------------------------- I have it working now, thanks guys! I had to do the writeini in a seperate alias for some reason, no idea why lol Last edited by dominic_eddy; 07/04/14 08:41 AM.

Another not so recommended fix is that you can read the first line in the text file if you read line 0 instead of line 1. /help $read Quote: If the first line in the file is a number, it must represent the total number of lines in the file. If you specify N = 0, mIRC returns the value of the first line if it is a number. If the t switch is specified then mIRC will treat the first line in the file as plain text, even if it is a number.
