RE: Read Text from a file
Where are you pasting the snippets into? Are you using the built-in script editor of Plus! Live? If so, does it say "Script has successfully started" in the debugger when you click "Save All"?

What exactly is at line 255 of that saved.cfg file of yours? I see you were doing something with /connect for your mIRC script, perhaps it fails because the line read from the file starts with a slash?

With debugging, I mean trying to get an idea about what state the script is in at certain points during execution. For example, it might be interesting to place a Debug.Trace call just after the command parser, to check whether the command is correctly detected:
js code:
// ...
if (command == 'acserv') {
    Debug.Trace('Found command /acserv');
    var line = ReadLineFromFile( //...
Another interesting value to check is what is sent to the chat window. Just before the return statement, you could throw in a Debug.Trace call and see what the value of line is.
js code:
line = line.replace(']', '');
Debug.Trace('line = '+line);
return line;
These are just some examples of how one could find out what's happening inside the script. Ultimately, you should be able to pinpoint the location where something doesn't go as planned and to fix the problem. And that is how we program stuff, through trial and error. :)
