Help Please!

Hi,

If someone can help me it would be much appreciated.

Here is what I’m trying to do:

I have 2 ini files: “ext.ini” and “trg.ini” each one has: a section; multiple keys with a different value (from 1=32345, 2=42321 … to 3000=342214 <ext.ini>) and (from 1=54587, 2=45367 … to 3000=64332 <trg.ini>). Now I want to take, in turn, the first key in the “ext.ini” and compare it with all the keys in “tgr.ini” then the second, an so on.

What I’ve done so far:

I have created 2 .au3 files “ext.au3” and “tgr.ini”:

$ext1 = IniRead( "ext.ini", "ext", "1", "")

$ext2 = IniRead( "ext.ini", "ext", "2", "")

$ext3 = IniRead( "ext.ini", "ext", "3", "")

$ext4 = IniRead( "ext.ini", "ext", "4", "")

……………………………………………………………

$ext3000 = IniRead( "ext.ini", "ext", "3000", "")

And

$trg1 = IniRead( "trg.ini", "trg", "1", "")

$trg2 = IniRead( "trg.ini", "trg", "2", "")

$trg3 = IniRead( "trg.ini", "trg", "3", "")

$trg4 = IniRead( "trg.ini", "trg", "4", "")

……………………………………………………………

$trg3000 = IniRead( "trg.ini", "trg", "3000", "")

And a 3-rd .au3 file called “run.au3”:

#include "ext.au3"

#include "trg.au3"

Now what should I use to compare (here is where I’ve got stuck)

$ext1 = $trg1 to $tgr3000

……………………

and then

IniWrite("new.ini", "new", "1", $ext1)

IniWrite("new.ini", "new", "2", $ext2)

IniWrite("new.ini", "new", "3000", $ext3000) – that is, if it finds one (or several) that doesn’t match.

Thank you very much for your help.

... some knowledge about arrays will make your life much easier ...

Read about IniReadSection (the example there will give you an idea about For - Next ... you need to use that later in your script)

Once you have 2 arrays filled up from your ini files, you need to nest 2x For-Next loops to do the comparison; I'll give you a code sample:

$ext = IniReadSection("my ini", "my section")
$trg = IniReadSection("my ini", "my section")

For $i = 1 To $ext[0][0]
    $match = 0                                  ;match found or not
    For $j = 1 To $trg[0][0]
        If $ext[$i][1] == $trg[$j][1] Then
            $match = 1                          ;match found
            ExitLoop                            ;go to next $ext
        Else
            ContinueLoop                        ;go to next $trg
        EndIf
    Next
    If $match = 0 Then IniWrite("my ini", "new", $i, $ext[$i][1])
Next

Good luck,

Thank you very, very much.
