Hi,

I have a script below with an If statement that is not counting correctly. When I run the script I need it to begin with the $BeginCount thru the $EndCount. If I run the script with numbers in the varibles $i, $BeginCount, and $EndCount it works right but when I use and ini file it skips over the first $BeginCount number. Why does my script skip over the first $BeginCount number when using the ini file?

IfTest.ini File

[count]
icount=4
;=> Begin Count (CHANGE)
bcount=4
;=> End Count (CHANGE)
ecount=10
[code=auto:0]


AutoIt Script

[code=auto:0]
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <GuiButton.au3>

Opt("MustDeclareVars", 1)

Global $btn, $sIni, $i, $BeginCount, $EndCount


$sIni = @ScriptDir & "\IfTest.ini"

$i = IniRead($sIni, "count", "icount", "NotFound")              ;4
$BeginCount = IniRead($sIni, "count", "bcount", "NotFound")     ;4
$EndCount = IniRead($sIni, "count", "ecount", "NotFound")       ;10

MsgBox(0, "Debug 1", "$i = " & $i & @CRLF & "$BeginCount = " & $BeginCount & @CRLF & "$EndCount = " & $EndCount)


_Main()

Func _Main()    

    GUICreate("If Test", 510, 400)  

    $btn = GUICtrlCreateButton("Next", 10, 10, 100, 50)

    GUISetState()
    
    While 1
        Switch GUIGetMsg()
            Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                ExitLoop
            Case $btn               
                MsgBox(0, "Debug 1", "Test If statement - $i = " & $i)
                If $i >= $BeginCount And $i <= $EndCount Then
                    MsgBox(0, "Debug 2", "Test If statement - $i = " & $i) ;<<= Here will not start with 4...
                EndIf
                $i += 1             
        EndSwitch
    WEnd

    Exit
EndFunc   ;==>_Main

jfcby,Your problem is arising because the returns from the IniRead lines are strings, not numbers.  So the comparisons are using the ASCII values of the first characters and not the numerical values.Just change the IniRead lines like this:$i = Number(IniRead($sIni, "count", "icount", "NotFound")) ;4
$BeginCount = Number(IniRead($sIni, "count", "bcount", "NotFound")) ;4
$EndCount = Number(IniRead($sIni, "count", "ecount", "NotFound")) ;10

And all will work as you thought it would. :(

Not having typed variables is one of AutoIt's strengths - and one of its weaknesses. You just have to be careful - it cannot read your mind, so you have to make sure at times. :)

jfcby,

Your problem is arising because the returns from the IniRead lines are strings, not numbers. So the comparisons are using the ASCII values of the first characters and not the numerical values.

Just change the IniRead lines like this:

$i = Number(IniRead($sIni, "count", "icount", "NotFound")) ;4
$BeginCount = Number(IniRead($sIni, "count", "bcount", "NotFound")) ;4
$EndCount = Number(IniRead($sIni, "count", "ecount", "NotFound")) ;10

And all will work as you thought it would. :(

Thank you Melbay23 worked like a charm. I looked in the help file and did not find any examples that matched your code. Where can I find examples of your code for future reference?

Thanks,

jfcby,

Those lines are nested functions:

$i = Number(    IniRead($sIni, "count", "icount", "NotFound")    )
     ^1    (    ^2                                          )    )

The 2 functions are Number and IniRead.

jfcby,

A pleasure. :(

By the way, when you reply please use the "Add Reply" button at the top and bottom of the page rather then the "Reply" button in the post itself. That way you do not get the contents of the previous post quoted in your reply and the whole thread becomes easier to read. :)
