hey got the following script but the $read bit doesnt seem to be working, basically if %x is already in the text file it shouldnt write it again, but it keeps on writing it



im sure its something simple im missing

Edit: hixxy it actually isnt what your thinking, these are for "book packs" that we offer our customers.

Sorry but this forum doesn't help with filesharing.

Right ok because of this thread I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt.

You had more code than that in your original post and it showed that each line ended with pack: %x, therefore you should be using * %x as a wildcard instead of * %x * in the $read command.

if (!$read(listing $+ $replace($date,/,-) $+ .txt, w, $+(*,%x,*))) {
^ That would find any occurance of %x's contents in the file, however as hixxy said, if your actually looking for %x being on the end of the string with other words then a space before it its.
if (!$read(listing $+ $replace($date,/,-) $+ .txt, w, * %x)) {


Interesting reading these books are they?
