ReadLines of txt file and assign values for each line one at a time

[Jecht0dyssey]

Hey Everybody, So I am currently writing a script to help determine outcome probabilities I have most of the script written but where i seem to be running into the difficulties is when trying to read a txt file one line at a time where each line will return the txt from the file and then depending on the number i have if then statements for the script to play out. I have tried every FileReadLine forum post and created a notepad txt file even just for testing called readtest.txt its able to read the first line "13" but then I get ^ Error 1 >Exit code:1 no matter what i do. like I said I've used every test for it that I can find on the forum and still the same happens. I dont even know where to begin at this point because nothing seems to be working. This is where I am at I hope someone can figure out where i go from here or how to accomplish this:

#include <readtest.txt>

$Variable = CurrentLineText

$file = "c:\readtest.txt"

$Number

$CurrentLine =1

FileOpen($file, 0)

Func(GetNextLine)

FileReadLine $CurrentLine

If $Variable = X Then  ;X is any number between 1 and 17

     $Number = X

     $CurrentLine = $CurrentLine + 1

ElseIf $Variable = "Next Set of Actions" Then

     $CurrentLine = $CurrentLine +1

     (Clean Slate) 

EndIf

EndFunc(GetNextLine)

Func(NumbersTest)

      Func(Scenario)

           If $Variable = 1 Then

                     $OutCome= thing 

           If $Variable = 17 Then

                     $OutCome = different thing

           ...

           FileOpen($file2, 0)

           Type in last line $Outcome

           Send (Enter) for a new line for next scenario to be played out and recorded

      EndFunc(Scenario)

      (GetNextLine)

EndFunc(NumbersTest)

Func(CleanSlate)

     ... : resetting all the other variables back to starting

EndFunc(CleanSlate)

I Hope this helps and if i need to clarify anything or if i missed something vital in my description then please let me know. thanks in advance.

Hello @Jecht0dyssey

welcome to the forum.

When you want to process a whole file line by line pls. have a look at the function _FileReadToArray()

 

When posting code, pls use the according button in the edidor's pane here: Button "< >"

The code you posted has several function declarations nested into each other, which are not closed using "EndFunc". Use the SciTE Autoit customized editor and CTRL+t to bring up the messages poining out the missing function closings.

Functions should (have to?) be written in one block, one by another, not nested.

 

 

Regards, Rudi.

My suggestion would be to use au3check first before tidy to get better autoit3 issues listed first, like NO Funcs within an Func.
