Hello,

Try this:
  • run the script
  • press F12 three times
  • check the effect of 3 insertions at Line #8 into the script

Code: Select all

Count := 0


;-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
F12:: InsertLine("; Hi " ++Count, A_ScriptFullPath, 8) ; hotkey for testing
;-------------------------------------------------------------------------------



;-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
InsertLine(Line, File, Pos) { ; insert a Line of text into File at Pos
;-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    FileRead, Content, %File%

    ; split Content into Front and Back
    Loop, Parse, Content, `n, `r
        If (A_Index < Pos)
            Front .= A_LoopField "`n"
        Else
            Back .= A_LoopField "`n"

    FileDelete, %File%
    FileAppend, % Front Line "`n" Back, %File%
}
I hope that helps.

With InStr you can get the nth occurrence of a string.
