Forums Scripts & Popups $read identifier does not work

I have a .txt file in the main directory of mIRC but when I check the file with //echo -a $exists(myfile.txt) it returns $false and because of that the $read identifier doesn't work.

I also checked that the name was well written

¿why is this happening to me?

Thanks in advance.

Which directory? Program files? Use $mircdir instead.

Or try /write myfile.txt sometext

Make sure the myfile.txt is in the same directory as mIRC.exe (same as $mircdir).
If it is not, you should provide the fullpath in $exists().

in the status windows write:


that's your main mirc directory. save your file overthere.
