Read list or ini file

[JonCross]

I have a script that I only want run on "Student" computers at my school. so I want to be able to make an INF file that contains user names that the script will look at for user names. Below is what I have for now, but I want to be able to add more user names. Any ideas?

IF @username = "rc-felazarov" Then
Else
MSGBox(48,"ATTENTION", "Please run this scrip on only student accounts!")
    Exit
    EndIF

Create a text file with the user names all on separate lines

rc-felazarov

gp-someone

an-onymous

and name it users.txt

If NOT StringRegExp(FileRead(@ScriptDir & "\users.txt"), "(?m:^)" & @UserName & "\v|$") Then
    MSGBox(48,"ATTENTION", "Please run this scrip on only student accounts!")
    Exit
EndIf

Use a text file like:

Mat
JonCross
MyUsername
User3452345
User337234

and this function:

MsgBox (0, "MyUsername", _CheckUser ("MyUsername"))

Func _CheckUser ($sUsername = @Username)
   Return StringRegExp (FileRead (@ScriptDir & "Usernames.txt"), "(?i)(?:\n|\r|\A)(\Q" & $sUsername & "\E)(?:\n|\r|\z)", 0)
EndFunc ; ==> _CheckUser

Which just checks to see if the specified user exists on a line.

Why are you falling into the trap of over complicating the SRE?
