Questions regarding .ini configuration

[ACrapid]

Hi guys, recently I started to mess around with C++, and I ended up with a 270line failure of a tool which I made.

The sole purpose of this code, was to open a game, in this case Warcraft 3.

Then to press the button "B" to enter the logon menu, which you could enter in a config.ini file, then to write the values written there, example:

[config]

username=usernamehere

password=passwordhere

Then the program would automaticly enter the Username given in the ini, press TAB, write the password and hit enter.

I did manage to make it work more or less, just that the prog pressed the wrong buttons.

Now, to my point, is it possible to make a ini reading executable that does such as stated above?

And in addition, somewhere along the lines in the ini, point to the destination of the exe and run it?

If anyone could point me in the right direction, that'd be helpful thanks.

I'm not asking for an entire source code, just pretty much for the ini write/read and enter it part

Thanks, sincerely

Alex.

Take a look at IniRead, IniWrite, and IniReadSection. Those should give you what you need to edit any .ini file.

I don't generally get involved in threads that reference games but for the INI part of it, have a look in the help file for IniRead() and IniWrite.

$sIni = @ScriptDir & "\config.ini"
$pass = IniRead($sIni, "Config", "username", "")

I already have, but I can't seem to find any code where it WRITES from the ini, and to a active window.

Get it to read the desired section of ini to a variable, and then use the "Send" function to send the key presses

[ACrapid]

Thanks for the quick reply JohnOne.

May you give me an example of a variable? thanks.

EDIT: Searched the help section, got 137 hits for "Variable." though none of them strikes me as "THIS IS THE ONE"

;$Variable = IniRead(put in the parameters here)

$Variable = "THIS IS A VARIABLE"

ConsoleWrite($Variable & @CRLF)

[ACrapid]

Haha, thanks guys.

I'm sorry for my noobyness, but at this

"THIS IS A VARIABLE"

What should I put in THISISAVARIABLE ?

The sections of the .ini or what?

whatever you want. The equals sign assigns whatever is to the left to the variable on the right. You need to search the help file now because every example in the help file uses variables.

[JohnOne]

Defines a variable Is your section of ini Is the key you want to read that will be sent as a variable

$R = IniRead($sIni, "Config", "the particular key", "")

Then you would use Send($R) I think cant quite remember

[ACrapid]

So, "The particular key" in this case, would be "Username="

But, there's two sections, username and password

[dantay9]

The Section would be "Config". This is the only section from this example:

[config]

username=usernamehere

password=passwordhere

The Key would be either "username" or "password".
