caradid caradid Lurker Registered: 2005-07-19 Posts: 4	Hi all, I'm not an expert in kixtart, I want to find how i can check the existence of a worstation name in a file listing them by using the variable @wksta, instead of using the command below if instr(@wksta,"kdpp4zp") or instr(@wksta,"kdwn3dw") with a lot of or instructions. Could somebody help me on this one ? Thanks in advance.

You could use Readline and place the name of the workstations into an array then ASCAN() to find it. _________________________ Home page: http://www.kixhelp.com/hb/

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	heh, resourcefull thinking you got there. actually, the @wksta is not needed in the ini you could have just said: [name] KDWN3DW = 1 kdpp4zp = 1 but now, it actually looks nice. like expression inside the ini _________________________ ! download KiXnet
