hi everyone . Learning more and more of autoit and i have to say it is VERY powerful. now im into a small automation project Here is what i plan : i want , using while/ wend to monitor a log file of an application and when there is a line added i need that auto it " exports" that line i need this for an automation of my ftp server. it checks sfv files and when an upload is " COMPLETE " the ftp server logs it . i need that when there is written this log entry to extract it and run unrar is some regex parameters are met. the hard part is the real time monitoring at the moment my code is very unsuccessful (if required i can paste it here) plus after 40 sec of run time i usually get an out of memory error can you please me show some effective ways of to monitor a file and extract last written line (guess using readline -1) in real time ? thx and regards

Good Afternoon All Let me start by saying... I'm not sure if this belongs in the GUI part of the forum as it's more of a loop / code / dynamic GUI layout issue. I understand if you move it though. I have been doing some crazy things in AutoIT lately and one of them just so happens to be an accidental infinite loop. I am dynamically populating my GUI labels... so that means if I have a users ip address I create $L_PP1_WhoISSearch However, if I assign a function to a non existent label... for instance a user has no ip address or it is invalid, I get an infinite loop / crash. The While loop below just goes crazy running ShellExecute. Since the label $L_PP1_WhoISSearch doesn't exist, the function WhoISSearch() just runs ShellExecute to infinity... What should I do differently??? Is there a trigger I can set in the Gui to ignore missing cases??? Sorry, I can only provide "snippets" of my code since it's for work. Thanks you all!!! ; This is my loop of doom if the $L_PP1_WhoISSearch doesn't exist in my gui. While 1 $nMsg = GUIGetMsg() Switch $nMsg Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit Case $L_PP1_DashboardLink DashboardLink01() Case $L_PP1_WhoISSearch WhoISSearch() Case $B_PP1_BACK02 GUIDelete() Gui01_PP_INC() Case $B_PP1_EXIT02 Exit EndSwitch WEnd Func WhoISSearch() ShellExecute('http://whois.arin.net/rest/nets;q=' & $PP1_SourceIPClick01 & '?showDetails=true&showARIN=false&showNonArinTopLevelNet=false') ;MsgBox (0, "", 'WTF') EndFunc; This is my dynamic label for my Gui. ElseIf $i = 5 Then $L_PP1_SourceIP = GUICtrlCreateLabel($LabelVariable & ' ' & $aArray_Variable_PP_Gui01[$i], 10, $L_PP1_Var_StartHeight, 316, 19) GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 10, 800, 0, "Calibri") $L_PP1_Var_StartHeight += 22 $L_PP1_WhoISSearch = GUICtrlCreateLabel('WhoIS Search: ' & $PP1_SourceIPClick01, 10, $L_PP1_Var_StartHeight, 316, 19) GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 10, 800, 0, "Calibri") GUICtrlSetColor(-1, 0x0000FF) $L_PP1_Var_StartHeight += 22
