reading ini

[bluebearr]

Or you can try this:

$workingdir = RegRead("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Ascaron Entertainment\Sacred Underworld","InstallLocation")
$alltext = FileRead($workingdir & "\settings.cfg", FileGetSize($workingdir & "\settings.cfg"))
$alltextArray = StringSplit($alltext, @CRLF)            ; array, one line per item
For $i = 1 to $alltextArray[0]
    $lineA =StringSplit($alltextArray[$i], " : ", 1)    ; split lines
    if $lineA[0] > 1 Then                               ; Skip blank lines
        If $lineA[1] = "NETWORK_LOBBYLOGIN" Then
            MsgBox(4096, "Test", $lineA[2])
        EndIf
    EndIf
Next

hey guys,

I wanna read a ini file here from a game but can't get it to work.

here's the script that I tried:

$workingdir = RegRead("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Ascaron Entertainment\Sacred Underworld","InstallLocation")
$char = IniRead( $workingdir & "\settings.cfg", "default", "NETWORK_LOBBYLOGIN :", "default")
MsgBox(4096, "Test", $char)

and here's the part of the ini:

NETWORK_LOBBYLOGIN : bananarama

NETWORK_LOBBYPORT : 7066

NETWORK_PLAYER :

NETWORK_PORT_LISTEN : 2005

I want it to display me the bananarama value or whatever that's filled in there.

Note that the ini file doesn't have sections and there's no = but : instead

any ideas please?

the $workingdir points to the correct path for sure since I'm using this already elsewhere in the script.

NETWORK_LOBBYLOGIN : bananarama

NETWORK_LOBBYPORT : 7066

NETWORK_PLAYER :

NETWORK_PORT_LISTEN : 2005

This doesn;t look like a proper ini file so I am not supprised it doesn't work ...

otherwise I would going to need to use OCR to read the name onscreen when he logs in. I just need to check the accountname.

I'm trying to build in a securitymeasure here.

the settings.cfg file gets displayed as a microsoft-office outlook configuration file.

try something like:

$workingdir = RegRead("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Ascaron Entertainment\Sacred Underworld","InstallLocation")
$line = FileRead($workingdir & "\settings.cfg")
$line = StringSplit($line," : ")
MsgBox(0,$line[1],$line[2])
