I am looking for a simple way to find a complete sentence where a name is found in.
And load this sentence to a variable.

I've tried to write a sentence from "all.txt" to the variable "$result" where "franse" is true :

$result = SHELL '%comspec% /c findstr /I /C:"franse" A:\all.key'

But it does not work.

Sugestions?

Thanks,

Frans

p.s.

Might want to give the Pipe UDF a quick try, it submits a command to the shell and automatically redirects the output to an internal kixtart array. Here's an example:

Script Code:

$occurences = pipe('find /i "franse" c:\test.dat')

if ubound($occurences)
 for $i=1 to ubound($occurences)
  ?"found=" $occurences[$i]
 next
endif

Here's a link to Pipe()

You might also want to try to open the text file in kix and then use the ReadLineEx function to find the line, read it, manipulate it, etc etc.

brings me to a new idea, udf (WriteLineEx ..???) to write a line to a file on a specific line number (somebody probably made that already ... ??? )
