Hi

Im trying to do a script for searching text inside a txt file, and I if found that text --> then call a function

I have the following txt file with this

Helicopter

Apple

Banana

Microphone

Ak47

Calculator

Light

Television

Pillow

Then I wanna search the word Calculator, and if i found it, call Function1 for example

Function1()
{
FileAppend, , Calculator.txt
Msgbox, the word Calculator was found it
}

Thanks!

FileRead + InInString + Gosub
and what you have there is a label not a function ;-)
If you want to manipulate text files look at

AHK Library with a number of functions to "manipulate" text, both files such as *.txt, *.ahk, *.html, *.css etc AND Strings (or variables). For example you can delete specific lines, replace words or specific lines, number lines, remove or insert columns of text, etc.
