    @m4zuper Thank you, thank you, thank you! It was so simple. It's really hard not knowing BAS very well.

    I'm struggling to understand "notreuse" on resources

    "notreuse" should be understood in context of THREAD life.
    So if you use "notreuse", it will always use new value from
    resource during 1 THREAD execution. And if it is not used
    same thread will use same resource value during 1 thread
    life cycle.

    You just have to understand how to use BAS for your user case.
    BAS is already preconfigured to handle certain types of problems.

    So propper way to handle your problem in BAS would be as follows:

    Define resource list with your user:pass data in txt or csv format.
    Resource should be "Lines from file" and setting "Use each line
    one time" should be checked, along with "Only read" setting.

    You dont need to convert resource to list, since you want to use
    each line of resource in one thread. Simply parse resource line and
    use user and pass as you need in thread.

    That is how BAS handles such user problems.

    When you convert "Resource to List" it becomes a list suitable to be
    proccessed WIHIN ! THREAD. So in some cases this is desirable behavior.
    For example when you need to cycle through a list in ONE browser instance -
    aka in a single THREAD.

    But your user case means that you need new browser instance - new THREAD
    for each application of your user:pass combination. So you wouuld need to handle
    such behavior with LOOP and to use NOTREUSE, so in each iteration you get
    new line from list. In a word, you can achieve the same behavior if you follow
    default BAS behavior described under 1 and 2.

    So hope that you understood that you simply need to solve given user
    problems according to default BAS behavior.

    @ev0 said in I'm struggling to understand "notreuse" on resources:

    Also, second question: If I create the resource to "delete line" after each use, does it actually delete it? or just remove it from resources available?

    If you use "Delete line after use" resource parameter, the line will be deleted
    only after script is finished or restarted. During script execution lines in resource
    will remain undeleted, but BAS will "know" that those lines are already used and
    ready for deletion (scheduled for deletion), so BAS will delete ALL resource lines
    at once - at the end of script execution or when you forcibly stop the script.
    The developer said that such behavior is intended in order to reduce write-delete
    to local or remote HDD. So such functionality saves your local disk usage and speeds up script execution by not interupting its execution every time line from
    resource needs to be deleted.

    I fixed my problem by deleting the first row everytime Im done with it. So now I create a excel file, everytime script works on first row, it deletes it and second row becomes first one and works like that.

    Select "Mix Lines" in the resource, that way all the lines are mixed and thus it will have a random line. Or you can use javascript to mix the array list using function shuffle to get a better constant randomization. I believe there's also the option "Shuffle List" under the "List" option
