Read Variable from Text File?

[Dexter1]

Is it possible for me to grab a variable value from a text file? I have macros that send emails which I have compiled into .exes. The problem is that I have to recompile the macros every time somebody asks to be added or removed from the distribution. If I could just get these values from a text file I wouldn't have to recompile.

Thanks in Advance,
Josh

Use an INI file. Use the ReadIniFile command.

Or for a simple text file use ReadLn.

You could set up an INI file then use the ReadIniFile> function. the Ini file might look something like:

Code: Select all

[recipients]
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
recip4=stop

You would loop through looking at the recips until you run into the one labeled stop.

JRL...How would I loop through the file with the recip's being 1 - 4?.

Code: Select all

Let>n=1
Label>starthere
ReadIniFile>c:\temp\mail.ini,recipients,recip%n%,recip
If>recip=stop,finish
MDL>recip
Let>n=n+1
GoTo>starthere
Label>finish
MDL>It's over!
