I have a text file which contains a list of data that looks like this:
computer-01.xml,Room1
computer-02.xml,Room1
computer-03.xml,
computer-04.xml,Room2
computer-05.xml,Room4
computer-06.xml,
i have another text file which contains just:
computer-01.xml
computer-02.xml
computer-03.xml
computer-04.xml
computer-05.xml
computer-06.xml
computer-07.xml
computer-08.xml
computer-09.xml
computer-10.xml
I want to keep the data in the first list as it contains all the room details but i need to add any extra machines to this list. Is there anyway to do this automatically through MMF2??
In the above examples i would need to add:
computer-07.xml
computer-08.xml
computer-09.xml
computer-10.xml
to the original list.
cheers

I suppose you could load both files into separate Rich Text Edit objects and then:
- Start a fast loop for a number of times equal to the number of lines in the filename-only text file.
- Use the 'On loop' condition in a new event and the 'Find String' condition to search for the line whose number is equal to the loop index from the filename list in the filemame/room list.
I don't have time to finish.

Break the problem down: You want to copy from one file and paste into another. How you would do that by hand? Just recreate that process.

Cheers for the example sumo but not sure you understood, i need it to do this automatically and only transfer lines that were not already in the list. Going to try and do it using Jon Lambert's method but if anyone has any other suggestions then please let me know.

Here it is. Don't ask how it works, it just does . But briefly - it scans through list 2 and checks if the first 15 letters of the current line are found in list 1, if so it adds the line from list 1, if not it adds the the current line from list 2. (This assumes that you have only up to 99 computers. But can easily be adapted if you add more, you just need placeholder zeros like you have.)
I didn't exactly know what you wanted but I tried. There were a few things you didn't explain but hopefully this is what you're looking for.

I think it's ViIIy's site, but I'm not sure. It's an Aquadasoft site. Does Villy work for Aquadasoft?

Thanks again Assault Andy, managed to tweak it so it would work with any number of characters and also found that it removes old items aswell. Fantastic Work!!!
