how to read specific line from a string?

If you mean that you have a string with CRLF in it simply use

$aResult = StringSplit($YourString,@CRLF,1)

Gives you an array with the number of "lines" in $aResult[0]

Thanks alot

A better method that also returns an array, but does not count blank lines and can work with any line break (@LF, @CR and @CRLF)

StringRegExp ($sData, "(?:\s*)?(.+)(?:\n)?", 3)

Mat

Edit: It does not return the amount of lines in element "0", you will need to use UBound.

Edit2: Now ignores leading whitespace on lines.

A much improved version, that returns the line as a string.

Func _StringGetLine ($sString, $iLine, $bCountBlank = False)
   Local $sChar = "+"
   If $bCountBlank = True Then $sChar = "*"
   If Not IsInt ($iLine) Then Return SetError (1, 0, "")
   Return StringRegExpReplace ($sString, "((." & $sChar & "\n){" & $iLine - 1 & "})(." & $sChar & "\n)((." & $sChar & "\n?)+)", "\2")
EndFunc ; ==> _StringGetLine
