The highlighted line was forgotten.

JScript code:

---

function ReadLineFromFile(sFile, nLine)
{
    var f = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").OpenTextFile(sFile, 1 /* ForReading */);
    var s = f.ReadAll();
    f.Close()
    var FileContents = s.split('\r\n');
    return FileConents[nLine - 1];
}
 
function OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage(oChatWnd, sMessage)
{
    var m;
    if (m = /^\/([^ \n\r\v\xA0\/][^ \n\r\v\xA0]*)[\s\xA0]?([\s\S]*)/.exec(sMessage))
    {
        var command = m[1].toLowerCase();
        var parameter = m[2];
        if (command == 'acserv')
        {
            var line = ReadLineFromFile("C:\\Program Files\\AssaultCube_v1.1.0.3\\config\\saved.cfg", 255);
            // line now contains the 255th line from saved.cfg
            line = line.replace('alias "serverinfo [', '');
            line = line.replace(']', '');
            return line;        }
    }
    return sMessage;
}

Nope. It's still not working

You guys are still using the bugged version of ReadLineFromFile(). On the last line, "FileContents" is misspelled, which I already mentioned in my previous post.

Another possible issue could be that the file you're trying to read is saved as Unicode. By default, OpenTextFile reads the file as ASCII so you need to pass in an extra parameter to override this behavior. Therefore, I added an extra parameter to the function which takes care of this. You could try to detect whether a file is saved as ASCII or Unicode, but that requires some Win32 trickery.

Javascript code:

---

function ReadLineFromFile(sFile, nLine, bUnicode) {
    var f = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").OpenTextFile(sFile, 1 /* ForReading */, false, (bUnicode ? -1 : 0));
    var s = f.ReadAll();
    f.Close();
    var FileContents = s.split(/\r?\n/);
    if(nLine > FileContents.length) return false; // implement some error handling here?
    return FileContents[nLine-1];
}
 
function OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage(oChatWnd, sMessage) {
    var m;
    if (m = /^\/([^ \n\r\v\xA0\/][^ \n\r\v\xA0]*)[\s\xA0]?([\s\S]*)/.exec(sMessage)) {
        var command = m[1].toLowerCase();
        var parameter = m[2];
        if (command == 'acserv') {
            var line = ReadLineFromFile("C:\\Program Files\\AssaultCube_v1.1.0.3\\config\\saved.cfg", 255, false); // change false to true if Unicode
            // line now contains the 255th line from saved.cfg
            line = line.replace('alias "serverinfo [', '');
            line = line.replace(']', '');
            return line;
        }
    }
    return sMessage;
}

Not workin, man ._. I don't the MSGPlus can call the function at all.

/acserv

doesn't work.

What version of Windows Live Messenger do you have?

14.0.8117.416

Could you be a bit more specific about what exactly isn't working? When I run the last snippet I posted, it works flawlessly and I'm on the same version of Messenger as well (WLM 2009).

• Are you sure you saved your script files as Unicode (UCS-2 Little Endian)?
  
• Does the script debugger window report any errors?
  
• Have you tried debugging it by adding some Debug.Trace() lines to see what the value of the variables are at certain points?

There it is

I'm a pretty much noob at this debugging and stuff ._. what exactly do I need to do starting from the beginning?

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:

Javascript 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.

Javascript 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.

This is what the script says:

code:

---

Function called: OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage
Function called: OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage
Error: Object doesn't support this property or method (code: -2146827850)
       File: AssaultCube Read.js. Line: 18.
Function OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage returned an error. Code: -2147352567

and this is the cfg file

Also, the connect is added later on in my mIRC alias.
