End Of File Search

Hi,

 

I am trying to search through a text file till I find a specific name. Is there a way to setup a loop till end of file reading line by line.

 

I know that Text File Begin Process can read a line from the file if the line is specified. And there is a repeat folder command that will load all the files in the folder till end but no such command for a file.

 

Thank you,

You can process every line in a text file by using the Text File Begin Process command. You don't need to specify the line, just select 'Process all Records' starting from record 1. Do you what to stop processing the file when you find the name you are looking for? That would be a bit more complicated...

This could be accomplished using the Break command.
Text File Begin Process: "test.txt"
 If Variable %T1% = "A name"
   Break
 End If
Text File End Process
