Currently I have a semi-working script. The goal of this script is to write the values of the combo box into an INI file and read said INI files. So far it does this.. but the issue is, It writes over line 1. The goal is to write on a new line each time to create a continuous log of submitted data.

Hi, i'm trying to save data in an ini key that contains @LF and @CRLF (to use in an edit control). But @LF and @CRLF cause error in ini files (because it breaks the line). Then im trying to find a workaround. Here's the script thanks in advance: #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> #Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form= $Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 615, 438, 192, 124) $hEDIT = GUICtrlCreateEdit("",11,11,600,400) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) #EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ### IniWrite("JustATest.ini","TestSec","TestKey","TestValue " & @CRLF & "Testing" & @LF & "test") $sData = IniRead("JustATest.ini","TestSec","TestKey","") GUICtrlSetData($hEDIT,$sData) While 1 $nMsg = GUIGetMsg() Switch $nMsg Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit EndSwitch WEnd

Hello, i have question. How to save and read data from "GUICtrlCreateEdit" to ini file ?. Problem is: IniWrite write only first line of text and IniRead read only first line text. How to do it? Thanks for answer. $text = GUICtrlCreateEdit("Text", 20, 165, 120, 50) Func save() Local $ini_file, $workingdir ; save workingdir $workingdir = @WorkingDir ; save file dialog $ini_file = FileSaveDialog('Save', @ScriptDir, 'Ini (*.ini)|All (*.*)', 10, 'Config.ini', $Form1) ; check if return is valid If @error Or $ini_file == '' Then FileChangeDir($workingdir) Return SetError(1, 0, '') EndIf ; write to ini file IniWrite($ini_file, "Data", "Text", GUICtrlRead($Text)) EndFunc$text = GUICtrlCreateEdit("Text", 20, 165, 120, 50) Func load() ;natiahne nastavenia z .ini Local $ini_file, $workingdir ; save workingdir $workingdir = @WorkingDir ; open file dialog $ini_file = FileOpenDialog('Open', @ScriptDir, 'Ini (*.ini)|All (*.*)', 1, 'Config.ini', $Form1) ; check if return is valid If @error Or $ini_file == '' Then FileChangeDir($workingdir) Return SetError(1, 0, '') EndIf ; read from ini file GUICtrlSetData($text, IniRead($ini_file, "Data", "Text", "")) EndFuncThis not working, read and write only firt line

These functions handle ANSI and unicode inifiles similar to IniRead, IniWrite and IniDelete. _WinAPI_WritePrivateProfileStringW _WinAPI_GetPrivateProfileStringW So you can read from unicode inifiles created from other programs or perhaps read and write to your own inifiles. I was unable to figure out how the API function of WritePrivateProfileStringW can create a unicode file initially so I instead used FileOpen to create a unicode file and write the 1st entry to achieve this. Further use uses WritePrivateProfileStringW is ok to handle the unicode entries. ANSI file creation is done by WritePrivateProfileStringW by default. Deletion of keys and sections may need use of Null which is in AutoIt 3.3.9.0 and later. I put comments with the code so hopefully understandable to you. The functions use a similar parameter syntax to IniRead and IniWrite. _WinAPI_WritePrivateProfileStringW has an additional parameter to handle the flag passed to FileOpen for the initial creation of the inifile. _WinAPI_GetPrivateProfileStringW has an additional parameter in case you want the buffer that holds the return value within the UDF to be larger. The example has some russian text in it so you need to save it in a unicode script for correct testing. Example ; show message if script is not unicode. Unicode text in this script requires it to be UTF encoded. ; if needed in Scite, use menu bar, File -> Encoding -> UTF (any UTF type that suits you) and save the script. If Not FileGetEncoding(@ScriptFullPath) Then MsgBox(0, @ScriptName, 'Script is not unicode') ; write to ini file $return = _WinAPI_WritePrivateProfileStringW("test.ini", 'russian', 'Open', 'Открыть', 0x21) _Notify('Write', $return) ; read from ini file $return = _WinAPI_GetPrivateProfileStringW("test.ini", 'russian', 'Open', 'Default') _Notify('Read', $return) #cs AutoIt 3.3.9.0 or later using Null keyword ; setting $sValue parameter with Null keyword will delete a key using AutoIt 3.3.9.x or later. $return = _WinAPI_WritePrivateProfileStringW("test.ini", 'russian', 'Open', Null) ; setting $sKey parameter with Null keyword will delete a section using AutoIt 3.3.9.x or later. $return = _WinAPI_WritePrivateProfileStringW("test.ini", 'russian', Null, Null) ; setting $sSection parameter with Null keyword will flush using AutoIt 3.3.9.x or later. $return = _WinAPI_WritePrivateProfileStringW("test.ini", Null, Null, Null) #ce ; More info of an API that mimics these functions and explains use of Null at http://code.google.com/p/privateprofilestring/ Func _Notify($title, $return = 0, $error = @error, $extended = @extended) ; notify results from other function calls MsgBox(StringRegExpReplace($error, '-{0,1}([1-9])[0-9]*', '0x30'), $title, _ '@error = ' & $error & @CRLF & _ '@extended = ' & $extended & @CRLF & _ '$return = ' & $return _ ) EndFunc User defined functions ; #FUNCTION# ==================================================================================================================== ; Name...........: _WinAPI_WritePrivateProfileStringW ; Description ...: Write to ANSI and unicode encoded ini files ; Syntax.........: _WinAPI_WritePrivateProfileStringW($sFileName, $sSection, $sKey, $sValue[, $iMode = 1]) ; Parameters ....: $sFileName - The filename of the .ini file ; $sSection - The section name in the .ini file ; $sKey - The key name in the in the .ini file ; $sValue - The value to write/change ; $iMode - Refer to FileOpen mode parameter ; Return values .: Success - Not 0 ; Failure - 0 ; @error 1 to 5 - Refer to DllCall ; @error 6 - FileOpen failed to open a handle to create the file ; Author ........: MHz ; Modified.......: ; Remarks .......: Similar to IniWrite but uses unicode API calls.

Hi guys, I'm trying to add a startup script using autoit. One of the steps is writing to the "C:\Windows\System32\GroupPolicy\Machine\Scripts\scripts.ini" file. Problem is even though I run the code it doesn't change the actual file, and it returns "1" meaning it was successful. $ini = "C:\Windows\System32\GroupPolicy\Machine\Scripts\scripts.ini" $val1 = IniWrite($ini, "Shutdown","0CmdLine", "C:\Scripts\USBReminder.exe") $val2 = IniWrite($ini, "Shutdown","0Parameters", "") MsgBox(0, "", $val1 & @CRLF & $val2) Thanks!!

Ok so here's my "evil plan" lol: I am working on making a test to help me study for the A+. The idea is that I want to make it modular so I can specify a battery of tests. My bright idea was to make an ini file generator, since that has built functions and a method for sorting. The generator is mostly done, it's a basic one to make multiple choice questions. Here's the tricky bit: I want to be able to mark each answer with 1, 2, 3, and 4 so I can then have the test program grab the answers at random, but still relevant to each question, and not show the numbers so it's harder to tell which ones are which. Example: Q. Who founded Apple Computer, Inc? 1) Steve Ballmer 2)Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak 3) Bill Gates and Steve Jobs 4) Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers but have that be in a different order everytime I take the test, so I can't cheat even though I'm writing the test lol. I have that figured out as far as how it's organized with the questions, just need to figure out how to grab the questions and answers, but do it in a way that it's not seen in the test, so I can randomize them. So far I'm sure I can randomize the question order, but still not sure on how to keep it from repeating a question. Here's my code so far for the ini generator, the Test portion I'll be working on as soon as I can think of a way to have it pick a question at random. Partially why I'm here #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> ;Constants for GUI Events #include <WindowsConstants.au3> Global $Answer, $Answer_input[4], $counter = 0, $Build_bttn, $Question, $Question_input _Create_GUI() Func _Create_GUI() ;To implement a reset function, make everything in the GUI first, THEN put all the case stuff inside ;_Main().
