settings app

[Syviel]

Hi there,

I recently started using autoit so it is currently a little hard wrapping my brain around it.

But what I need autoit to is to replace or rather change some text in a file.

The situation is that I have a settings file that is structured like this

[Configuration]

Server=127.0.0.1

WebHost=auto

Nickname=Whatever

And I would like to have an application that changes the server setting to another ip without having to edit it in notepad

I found something that has a similar purpose and it is a realmlist changer for world of warcraft.

my problem is that I cant figure out how to change it so it fits my needs.

p.s. Sorry if my English isnt top notch, it is my second language

Here be lyin´ code

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#include <ComboConstants.au3>
GUICreate("Realmlist", 400,400,100,100)
$open=FileOpen ( "C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\realmlist.wtf", 0 )
$realm = FileReadLine($open,1)
$mylist=GUICtrlCreateList ("", 75,200,250,97)
GUICtrlSetLimit(-1,200) ; to limit horizontal scrolling
GUICtrlSetData(-1,$realm)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("current realms",85,180)
$realms=GUICtrlCreateCombo ("", 10,10,250) ; create first item
$button1 = GuiCtrlCreateButton("Set Realm", 30, 90, 130, 20)
$var = IniReadSection("realm.ini", "realms")
If @error Then 
    MsgBox(4096, "", "Error occurred, probably no INI file.")
Else
Select 
Case $var[0][0]=1
GUICtrlSetData($realms,$var[1][1])

GUICtrlSetData($realms,$var[1][1])

$selected=GUICtrlRead($realms)
$file=FileOpen ( "C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\realmlist.wtf", 2 )
FileWrite($file, $selected)
GUICtrlSetData($mylist,"")
GUICtrlSetData($mylist,$selected)   
EndSelect
WEnd
FileClose($open)

IniWrite("Settins.ini","Configuration","Server","New IP Here")

[Syviel]

But how can I incorporate that into the script I already have?

First you have to write some code, as far as I can see you have just copied and pasted some random code, so it is not going to do anything at all for you.

Just read about Ini Files in the help file then start your code all over. Pay particular attention to the IniReadSection() IniRerad() and IniWrite() functions.
