Script doesn't continue with next user

[Berend Jan]

Hi all,

I have this script (this is it partially) in which I try to do the same actions for different users. To make it easy for myself I created a .ini file in which I stored the usernames and the corresponding passwords. I want the script to automatically go to the next user. The problem is that it doesn't. It only uses the username and password of the last user and doesn't go further with the others. Does any of you have a clue why?

This is the part of the script:

Global $NumberOfUsers = IniRead ( '.\bankusers.ini', 'MobHeader', 'NumberOfUsers', 1)
Global $UserNumber = IniRead ( '.\bankusers.ini', 'MobHeader', 'NumberOfUsers', 1 )
Global $MobUser = IniRead ( '.\bankusers.ini', 'User' & $UserNumber, 'MobUser', "Unknown User" )
Global $MobPass = IniRead ( '.\bankusers.ini', 'User' & $UserNumber, 'MobPass', "" )


Func _GetNextUser()
$UserNumber = $NumberOfUsers + 1
if $UserNumber > $NumberOfUsers Then
$UserNumber = 1
EndIf
EndFunc

This is the .ini file:

[MobHeader]

NumberOfUsers=3

;If NumberOfUser is less than the number of User Sections
;then only the user sections up to the number will be actioned
;If NumberOfUser is More than the number of User Sections
;then and Error will occur switiching users
;

[User1]

MobUser=monkey1
MobPass=raaar

[User2]

MobUser=monkey2
MobPass=sheep

[User3]

MobUser=monkey3
MobPass=trees

I hope you guys can help me out.

These 2 lines are doing the same thing.

Global $NumberOfUsers = IniRead ( '.\bankusers.ini', 'MobHeader', 'NumberOfUsers', 1)
Global $UserNumber = IniRead ( '.\bankusers.ini', 'MobHeader', 'NumberOfUsers', 1)

You might want to look at INIReadSection() in the help file, but for now try this.

Global $NumberOfUsers = IniRead ( '.\bankusers.ini', 'MobHeader', 'NumberOfUsers', 1)

Func _GetNextUser()
   For $I = 1 To $NumberOfUsers;Will loop 3 times, once for each user
      $MobUser = IniRead ( '.\bankusers.ini', 'User' & $I, 'MobUser', "Unknown User" )
      $MobPass = IniRead ( '.\bankusers.ini', 'User' & $I, 'MobPass', "" )
      MsgBox(4096, "", "User: " & $MobUser & @CRLF & "Pass: " & $MobPass)
   Next
EndFunc

no this doesn't work either:S very strange. it's like he doesn't read the ini file.

[buzz44]

If the INI File is located in the script DIR try, 'bankusers.ini' instead of '.\bankusers.ini'

no this doesn't make a difference. Gives unknown user as output

[buzz44]

That means that the INI file is different then you provided. I tested my example with this.

[MobHeader]

NumberOfUsers=3

[User1]

MobUser=monkey1
MobPass=raaar

[User2]

MobUser=monkey2
MobPass=sheep

[User3]

MobUser=monkey3
MobPass=trees

hmm.. strange. ok he does read the users and passwords now. but what he doesn't do is doing the actions it should do. it just loops until it reaches the last user and then does the action but only on that user. He should be doing it one by one.

"He"????

I used a message box as the output, just change the message box to whatever you want to do for each user.
