I have a script to write an ini file and Im trying to make one to read it correctly

When I run script to create it, it looks like this after some fields have been entered

Posted Image

Not all the fields need to be filled for my purposes but after running the script to read the ini I get this

Posted Image

As you can see it also returns the commas without even having data in them

My goal is to have it return just the data between the commas (am I right in thinking data is supposed to be separated with commas ?)

The values will be strings rather than integers

Can anyone help me with this ?

I cant even figure if its something I need to change\add in the gui or the readini script.

Code for gui

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <EditConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
Global $Form1_1 = GUICreate("Test box", 230, 181)
Global $Label1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("1", 8, 40, 39, 17)
Global $Input1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 48, 40, 25, 21)
Global $Label2 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("2", 80, 40, 39, 17)
Global $Input2 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 120, 40, 25, 21)
Global $Label3 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("3", 152, 40, 39, 17)
Global $Input3 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 192, 40, 25, 21)
Global $Label4 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("4", 8, 72, 39, 17)
Global $Input4 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 48, 72, 25, 21)
Global $Label5 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("5", 80, 72, 39, 17)
Global $Input5 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 120, 72, 25, 21)
Global $Label6 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("6", 152, 72, 39, 17)
Global $Input6 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 192, 72, 25, 21)
Global $Label7 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("7", 8, 104, 39, 17)
Global $Input7 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 48, 104, 25, 21)
Global $Label8 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("8", 80, 104, 39, 17)
Global $Input8 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 120, 104, 25, 21)
Global $Label9 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("9", 152, 104, 39, 17)
Global $Input9 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 192, 104, 25, 21)
Global $Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Cancel", 8, 144, 75, 25, $WS_GROUP)
Global $Button2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Next", 136, 144, 75, 25, $WS_GROUP)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $Button1
            Exit
        Case $Button2
    $nData = "thekey = " & GUICtrlRead($Input1) & ", " & GUICtrlRead($Input2) & ", " & GUICtrlRead($Input3) & ", " & GUICtrlRead($Input4) & ", " & GUICtrlRead($Input5) & ", " & GUICtrlRead($Input6) & ", " & GUICtrlRead($Input7) & ", " & GUICtrlRead($Input8) & ", " & GUICtrlRead($Input9)
    $sIni = @ScriptDir & "\AutoIt-Test.ini"

; create a new section using a variable  as input.
IniWriteSection($sIni, "Section", $nData)


    EndSwitch
WEnd

Code for read

$var = IniRead(@ScriptDir & "\AutoIt-Test.ini", "Section", "thekey", "no data")
MsgBox(4096, "Result", $var)

Also, is there a control to auto tab the fields in the gui after two charactors\numbers are entered ?

Sorry for the novice questions.

John

you can split $nData, try StringSplit($nData,",")

then:

If isArray($nData) Then

$maxindex = $nData[0]

for $i = 1 to $maxindex

$SplittedData = $maxindex[$i]

msgbox(0,$i,$SplittedData)

next

Endif

this will give you values 11 to 44 one by one.

For your second question,

add a little code to while.

if strlen(guictrlread($input)) >= 2 then

send("{TAB}") or guictrlsetstate($input2,$GUI_FOCUS)

endif

I appreciate your help mate

But I having a problem

I assumed The script to add would be in the read script and so $nData would be $var

I put it like this

$var = IniRead(@ScriptDir & "\AutoIt-Test.ini", "Section", "thekey", "no data")
StringSplit($var,",")
If isArray($var) Then
$maxindex = $var[0]
for $i = 1 to $maxindex
$SplittedData = $maxindex[$i]
msgbox(0,$i,$SplittedData)
next
Endif

;MsgBox(4096, "Result", $var)

The script runs without returning any errors but no msgbox appears, so not sure if its even reading it.

Is there an #include I need to add for arrays ? (never used them before)

So It looks $var isn't an array, cause of no data return with iniread or returned data doesn't contains commas.

can you say what you got with MsgBox(4096, "Result", $var) command ?

if there isn't any key in ini file, you have to use : inireadsection. try again with inireadsection(@ScriptDir & "\AutoIt-Test.ini", "Section"), if i guess right, you will get what u want.

btw, you dont need to include array lib if you dont use _Array ... commands

If I comment away the if loop but leave stringsplit in I get same result as before

$var = IniRead(@ScriptDir & "\AutoIt-Test.ini", "Section", "thekey", "no data")
StringSplit($var,",")
;If isArray($var) Then
;$maxindex = $var[0]
;for $i = 1 to $maxindex
;$SplittedData = $maxindex[$i]
;msgbox(0,$i,$SplittedData)
MsgBox(4096, "Result", $var)
;next
;Endif

EDIT:

My ini file looks like this

[Section]
thekey = 11, 22, 33, 44, , , , ,

you have to continue declare the variable, it must be :

$var = IniRead(@ScriptDir & "\AutoIt-Test.ini", "Section", "thekey", "no data")

$var = StringSplit($var,",")

then you can use $var[1] , 2 , 3 , 4 at msgbox

but if $var isn't an array, you get error with this way

After a lot of reading around forum\help files and mistakillas help

I managed to get to the point where the iniread code will splitt the strings and return the result.

But it only returns the result of the indexes I ask it to

$var = IniRead(@ScriptDir & "\AutoIt-Test.ini", "Section", "thekey", "no data")
$var2 = StringSplit($var, ",")
MsgBox(0, "Result", $var2[1] & $var2[2] & $var2[3] & $var2[4])

Can anyone help me understand the code to use in getting it only return the fields with data in ?

EDIT:

This seems to work, just not returning empty values

$var = IniRead(@ScriptDir & "\AutoIt-Test.ini", "Section", "thekey", "no data")
$var2 = StringSplit($var, ",")
;If $var2[0] <> 9 Then
;   Exit
;EndIf
MsgBox(0, "numofelements", $var2[0])
MsgBox(0, "Result", $var2[1] & $var2[2] & $var2[3] & $var2[4] & $var2[5] & $var2[6] & $var2[7] & $var2[8] & $var2[9])

Is this the correct way of going about this, or is there a simpler way ?
