writing variables to file and read them on request

[daniel02]

Hi,

I would like to write some variables to a file and read them on the next start if wished.

I thought i just use iniwrite and iniread or iniwritesection and inireadsesction but it does not seem to work like I want to have it.

The goal is to just read all the variables again so they are useable with the same variable names:

I wrote them with:

IniWriteSection(@ScriptDir & "\test.ini", "Variables", "posxy" & $posx[0] , $pos[1])

I tried to read them with:

If FileExists(@ScriptDir & "\test.ini") Then

$answer = MsgBox(4, "Test", "There is an test.ini file use it?")

If $answer = 6 Then

IniReadSection(@ScriptDir & "\test.ini", "Variables")

MsgBox(4096, "Result", $posx[0])

EndIf

EndIf

But it says the variable is not delcared?

Can someone help me with this.

Thanks

Daniel

Something like this:

$pos = MouseGetPos()
IniWriteSection(@ScriptDir & "\test.ini", "Variables", "posx=" & $pos[0] & @LF & 'posy=' & $pos[1])

If FileExists(@ScriptDir & "\test.ini") Then
 $answer = MsgBox(4, "Test", "There is an test.ini file use it?")
 If $answer = 6 Then
    $var = IniReadSection(@ScriptDir & "\test.ini", "Variables") 
    For $i = 1 To $var[0][0]
        MsgBox(4096, "Result", "Key: " & $var[$i][0] & @CRLF & "Value: " & $var[$i][1])
    Next
 EndIf
EndIf

Also look at examples for IniWriteSection,IniReadSection in Autoit's helpfile.

Hi Zedna,

thanks for your answer. This looks very good but if I try to use it I get an error.

: ==> Subscript used with non-Array variable.:

For $i = 1 To $var[0][0]

For $i = 1 To $var^ ERROR

And how can I than use again the $pos variable with the two values?

Thanks in advance.

Daniel

Something like this:

$pos = MouseGetPos()
IniWriteSection(@ScriptDir & "\test.ini", "Variables", "posx=" & $pos[0] & @LF & 'posy=' & $pos[1])

If FileExists(@ScriptDir & "\test.ini") Then
 $answer = MsgBox(4, "Test", "There is an test.ini file use it?")
 If $answer = 6 Then
    $var = IniReadSection(@ScriptDir & "\test.ini", "Variables") 
    For $i = 1 To $var[0][0]
        MsgBox(4096, "Result", "Key: " & $var[$i][0] & @CRLF & "Value: " & $var[$i][1])
    Next
 EndIf
EndIf

$pos = MouseGetPos()
IniWriteSection(@ScriptDir & "\test.ini", "Variables", "posx=" & $pos[0] & @LF & 'posy=' & $pos[1])

If FileExists(@ScriptDir & "\test.ini") Then
 $answer = MsgBox(4, "Test", "There is an test.ini file use it?")
 If $answer = 6 Then
    $var = IniReadSection(@ScriptDir & "\test.ini", "Variables") 
    For $i = 0 To Ubound($var,1)
        MsgBox(4096, "Result", "Key: " & $var[$i][0] & @CRLF & "Value: " & $var[$i][1])
    Next
 EndIf
EndIf

Changed this line:

For $i = 0 To Ubound($var,1)

Try this for writing and reading respectively.

;Writing
IniWrite(@ScriptDir & "\test.ini","Variables","posx",$pos[0]
IniWrite(@ScriptDir & "\test.ini","Variables","posy",$pos[1]

;Reading
Dim $pos[2]
$pos[0]=IniRead(@ScriptDir & "\test.ini","Variables","posx")
$pos[1]=IniRead(@ScriptDir & "\test.ini","Variables","posy")
