How to combine multiple line read from Filereadline to a single variable output

[dkwokgs]

Hi There,

How to combine multiple line read from Filereadline to a single variable output

Is this correct? please advise Thanks

eg.

$output=$line+$output

I saw something like "&=" or "=&" somewhere?

Best Regards

Daniel

The easiest would be to use _FileReadToArray and then _ArrayToString.

#include <Array.au3>
#include <File.au3>

_Main()

Func _Main()
    Local $aArray, $sFilePath = @ScriptFullPath
    _FileReadToArray($sFilePath, $aArray)
    Local $sString = _ArrayToString($aArray)
    MsgBox(4096, "", $sString)
EndFunc   ;==>_Main

$line = $newline & $line

Hint: Read the autoit helpfile

If you want the complete file in a single variable you can use this:

$lines = FileRead("file.txt")

Isn't using FileRead() simpler than using _FileReadToArray()?

[guinness]

I misread, I thought they wanted to add a delimiter too so yes FileRead would be probably what they were looking for.

[czardas]

For example:

Local $sOutput = "New Line" & @CRLF ; New line plus line break

Local $hFile = "test.txt" ; Path to file
$hFile = FileOpen($hFile, 0)
If $hFile = -1 Then _ErrorMsg("Unable to open file.")

Local $sData = FileRead($hFile)
If @error Then _ErrorMsg("Unable to read file.")
FileClose($hFile)

$sOutput &= $sData ; Concatenate

ConsoleWrite($sOutput)

Func _ErrorMsg($sMessage)
    MsgBox(0, "Error", $sMessage)
    Exit
EndFunc

czardas,

You're missing FileClose.

[czardas]

czardas,

You're missing FileClose.

So I am LOL. Fixed it now.

Sorry guy. I think I did not make it clear.

I am doing selective filereadline with the while loop in filereadline and I want to combine the selective filereadline into a single variable with @CRLF. Thanks in advance.

If you are ready with your fileread commands, then you can concatenate your variables by using : $a = $a & $b or in short $a &= $b
