Hello Everyone, I am having a bit of trouble getting my FileReadLine function to read all the characters in a specific text file. Here is my code. Func PastePassword() ;Paste Password $file = ('C:\Text\Logins\MacroPWList.txt') FileOpen($file, 0) For $i = 2 to _FileCountLines($file) $line = FileReadLine($File, 2) GUISetState(@SW_HIDE, $wsi_form) Sleep(350) Send($line) Sleep(150) Send("{Enter}") ExitLoop Next EndFunc $line should return the following string "EY@RdJ5S}#<r8rh" However, instead $line is returning "EY@RdJ5S}<r8rh" For some reason it is leaving out the # sign in the string. Does anyone know why that is? Thanks for all your help!

I'm hoping someone can help me. I have a script that grabs the source of an XML page, parses it using _XMLDomWrapper, writes to an INI, and compares that with preparation to use "send" commands to post to a Twitter account. The problem is, when trying to send the title of the XML, message boxes display it correctly but the sent information omits the first character, posts second, then omits two more before posting the rest of it. For instance, the title is stored in a variable and is displayed as when passing it to a message box: #Phishing: Phishing: It Help Desk However, when it is passed to the send command to be typed into a Twitter post, it turns into: ishing: Phishing: It Help Desk It sounds confusing so here's my code. The XML file and INI file will generate automatically. I would suggest, since that's a live feed of XML that you use the XML provided below and opt NOT to update the XML file when asked. Also, each time you run the program, you'll want to delete the INI file so it actually runs the functions to send the information. WARNING: I am not good at coding. I learn by example and most of the code I write is sloppy and could probably be done in vastly fewer lines of code and easier with different functions or techniques. You have been warned that this will be ugly.
