"IniRead Section" not reading mor that 1000 keys ?!

[SYRAU3]

Hi all,

I have a script that reads an INI file's section with more than 14000 keys and inserting them

into a combobox, but unfortunately it only reads 1000 keys! and i didn't find any notes about

this in the command help remarks, any notes please?

Only the first 32767 chars are read for legacy reasons.

Why not Try with sqlite database files

I saw it, but that's not working!

What is not working?

Why not Try with sqlite database files

the problem is that i had a data base at first, but sqlite commands are not taking it as a database, an error shows that the file is encrypted or not a database, but i tried many databases extension, also didn't work, so i tried to read the INI file's keys and insert it into a new AutoIt-database, but i couldn't edit it with any program, like MSACCESS 2012 or MSEXCEL..

so what to do? even with SQL, is there any solution?

Split the section into sections of less than 32767 chars

What is not working?

it only reads 1000 keys

[SYRAU3]

the chars are less than 10, but the keys are 14000

[JohnOne]

I'm not following here, perhaps it's a language thing.

If you have 14000 keys which are just "0=0"

Then that alone is 42000 chars, 10000 more that it will read.

thank you very much, what about the sql db issue?

You can't use SQLite with an ini file, you have to create a database first, and then add your data to it. That would take a bit of knowledge of how to use SQLite first though.

I know how to use SQLite, and i know i cant use it with ini, the problem is i can't edit the databases that AutoIt creates with any program! so i transformed the db into an INI file, but i had that problem too.

You could give a try to bypass the 32K limitation.

that's great thank you! it solved my first part of the problem, the second one, is that my INI file has unicode charts, so i can read form it but i cant write using INIWrite, so i tried FileWrite, it's the only command that writes to files without damaging their data using FileOpen, but unfortunately i need to write to an exact line, i tried _FileWriteToLine but it damages the unicode ini file, and can't work with FileOpen.

Help please..

the problem fixed with INIReadSectionEx, but i can't use INIDelete or INIWrite as the file is protected (unicode chars inside)
