//echo -a $read(readme.txt,s,mIRC,1) = doesn't work
//echo -a $read(readme.txt,w,mIRC,1) = doesn't work
I've wasted hours trying to track down the problem but I've since checked with a few friends and theirs doesn't work either.

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. Regards,

There are spaces at the start of the lines in readme.txt, that is why the s switch isn't matching.
Use //echo -a $read(readme.txt,s, $+($chr(32), mIRC),1) = doesn't work instead and you'll see it works.
The wildcard match isn't working because you have no wildcards and there's no line in readme.txt containing just 'mIRC'.
Spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, and stupid comments are intentional.

spaces at the begining of lines is not important... because i found out about this error while reading another txt file that has no spaces in the lines at all. thanks for the info

Because the (R) mark is directly next to the abbreviation mIRC $read picks this up - therefore, it needs to be specified in the parameters:
//echo -a $read(readme.txt,s,mIRC(R),1) works fine for me.
..although I don't think the ,1 is mandatory.

thanks again m8... I think I have the grasp of it now. Testing and the hands-on approach is giving me some good experience. Damn this is confusing L L
