Or you could run a program using file.runwait() - the program could be ping.exe itself or cmd.com with arguments /c "ping.exe > c:\pingout.txt" and read c:\pingout.txt afterwards with file.readall() ... >> Also, at work we have a password that changes every day. >> That password is stored in a .txt file all alone. >> Is there any way of making a button that gets the password from the >> textfile every day and displays the password as the button's text? > > Yes. :-) use file.readall() > How you want to do it is up to you but my advice is to hit the > expressions help page (now it's called "functions")... there's all sort > of really useful stuff there.
