reading from file comes out backwards - mIRC Discussion Forums

OK, so this script is reading from a text file like this:

---------txtfile-----
line1
line2
line3
line4
.....
---------------------

But the output shows up as: line4, line3, line2, line1
I want it to output like:line1, line2, line3, line4

Here is part of the code

Code:

 

...
if ($read(list.txt,w,$+(*,$nick,*))) {
      var %x = $lines(list.txt), %target
        while (%x) {
          var %target = $addtok(%target, 7 $+ $chr(32) $gettok($read(list.txt,%x),1,32) $+  ,44) 
          dec %x
      }
      msg $chan list is:7  %target
...

thanks

use inc not dec the while loop

try this

Code:

 if ($read(list.txt,w,$+(*,$nick,*))) {
      var %x = 1, %target
        while $read(list.txt,%x) {
          %target = $addtok(%target, 7 $+ $chr(32) $gettok($v1,1,32) $+  ,44) 
          inc %x
      }
      msg $chan list is:7  %target

That did it

Thanks

Now if I only wanted to msg the first 3 lines or 5 lines of the list, what part of the script would change? Thanks

Change this line

Code:

 while $read(list.txt,%x) {

to

Code:

 while ( $read(list.txt,%x) ) &amp;&amp; ( %x &lt;= 3 )  {

** Change 3 to your desired number

I tried it and it doesnt work. If i set it to 5, it outputs numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, it doesnt read the first 5 from the list.

Thanks

That won't work because $v1 is set to the %x in this situation, you can simply reverse your if statement and it will work.

Code:

while ( %x &lt;= 3 ) &amp;&amp; ( $read(list.txt,%x) ) {

That works. Thanks

Oh yeah, that's right. Thanks for fixing it.
