Get Lines From Text File With Regex

[noname 2]

what i want to do is get what ever line from a text file

 

i know how to use list to get it but i want to use regex and text file only

 

i have a text file that has numbers like this in it

 

1092880787
1815132654
1940572
1508015041
100009639188331
31105080
100000190745991
655229634
100003094469917

 

i want to set numbers in a variable and i want to get it from a text line

 

i can get the first line like this now

 

set(#row1,$find regular expression($list from file("c:\\numbers.txt"),"\\A.*"),"Global")

set(#test,"whats up {#row1} my number ","Global")

 

this is how i want it

 

whats up 1092880787 my number

 

 

i can also get other lines too like this

 

set(#row5,$find regular expression($list from file("C:\\numbers.txt"),"(.*)(?=(\n.*)\{5\}$)"),"Global")

set(#test,"whats up {#row5} my number ","Global")

 

but that breaks the line and my output looks like this

 

whats up 100009639188331

my number

 

 

is there a command like

\A.*

so i  can get the second, third, forth and so on

Why does it have to be regex is there other stuff in the file besides numbers?

[noname 2]

no only numbers, if there is something else besides regex thats fine

 

but i dont want to add it to a table or to a list

 

just want to pull it from the text file

 

if there was a way to delete the first line after getting it than that would work too

You can use this plugin to read part of a file: http://www.ubotstudio.com/forum/index.php?/topic/15579-free-plugin-advanced-file-clipboardhandle-big-lists-in-text-files-and-more/

 

Just read one line at a time I guess.

 

Why don't you just want to use a list though? That is normally the right way to do it.

thanks i think that should work, but the reason why i dont wan to do a list or a table is because ive been having some problems with it in multithread

 

eaiser to write the files to disk with a random file name and read it from there

 

 

Thanks

here is an alternative

 

save to file("{$special folder("Desktop")}\\test-read.txt", "1092880787
1815132654
1940572
1508015041
100009639188331
31105080
100000190745991
655229634
100003094469917")
alert($list item($list from text($read file("{$special folder("Desktop")}\\test-read.txt"), $new line), 4))

why not add the txt file to a list, and then use "set list position" to grab data?

why must you use ragex inside a txt file?
