------------------------------------------------------------------
------------  start closing processes-----------
-----------------------------------------------------------------
--read the text file that contains a proccess name per line for ex line 1: Skype.exe so read this and close al processes listed in the file
-------------------------------------------------------

ch_name = TextFile.ReadToTable("EocScanP.dll");

if (ch_name ~= nil) then
   
   total = Table.Count(ch_name);
   testvar = 1;

   while (0 < total) do
   					--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
					     -----------            cerrar los procesos            --------------

					instances_of_file = 0;
					file_to_check_for = ch_name[testvar]; --buscara ese archivo
					processes = System.EnumerateProcesses();
					
					for j, file_path in processes do
					    file = String.SplitPath(file_path);
					    if (String.Lower(file.Filename..file.Extension)) == file_to_check_for then

What is the name of the text file you are trying to load into a table? Surely the file name isn't EocScanP.dll. A DLL file is not normally a text file. I'm not familiar with that dll - perhaps it creates the text file you are looking for?

yeah it is but i change the extension from txt to dll so lot of people dont try to modify or read it

Try this...

Process_Name_List = TextFile.ReadToTable("D:\\Desktop\\EocScanP.dll");

if (Process_Name_List ~= nil) then
	for e, proccess in Process_Name_List do
		running_processes = System.EnumerateProcesses();
		for j, file_path in running_processes do
			file = String.SplitPath(file_path);
			if (String.Lower(file.Filename..file.Extension)) == proccess then
				System.TerminateProcess(j);
			end
		end
	end
end

Remember that ALL entries in the EocScanP.dll must be in LOWERCASE only.
