$read / *string* / line problem - mIRC Discussion Forums

hiho.. i have the followning problem..

Code:

$read(file.txt, w, *string*)

returns the whole line include *string* .. but - the problem - how can i get the line of *string* in the file.txt ?

thx in advance
--CaNNoN

Code:

$read(file.txt, w, $+($chr(42),string,$chr(42)))

thx for your help.. but it returns the same as my line

Code:

$read(file.txt, r, \*string\*)

now comes

Code:

* /echo: insufficient parameters (line 6, script3.mrc)

Code:

//echo -a $read(versions.txt, r, dispatch\*)

The above works fine, so you might have to paste exactly what you're typing.

ic.. but.. i need not the complete line from the txt file .. i need the line number

the txt file contains (e.g.):

Code:

this is the first line..
..second line..
..third line...

$read(file.txt, r, string\*) returns.. "..second line.."

and what i need would be "2" .. $read(file.txt,2) -> "..second line.."

..sorry for my bad english :]

.echo -q $read(file.txt, r, string\*)
echo -a $readn
