Iniwrite() problem

[Hylia]

I'm wondering why it won't write the ini file I think I'm doing everything correctly? (Complete script in spoiler)

Case $msg = $Save
IniWrite("Vars.ini", "Variables", "X", $X[5])

The file could be read-only.

[HeavenlyDemon]

try to set the full path to the ini file

IniWrite("C:\Temp\myfile.ini", "section2", "key", "this is a new value")

[Hylia]

Tried both, File is not read-only, folder also isn't read-only, tried both running as admin and without, also tried with path specified nothing. (and yes, it's with a compiled file)

Are you saying it works when not compiled? You are trying to write a value that can't exist => $x[5]

No, it doesn't.

I want it to write all 5 of the $X[5] to write.

$x only contains 5 elements as shown:

$x[0]

$x[1]

$x[2]

$x[3]

$x[4]

I want it to write all 5 of the $X[5] to write.

Write a separate entry for each element that exists. Edited February 16, 2013 by czardas

$x only contains 5 elements:

$x[0]

$x[1]

$x[2]

$x[3]

$x[4]

Oh didn't know that [0] was also considered one.

[HeavenlyDemon]

ok...got some 9999999999999999 unknoun code there

Changed it to $X[1] still no file is created. :S

Can someone give me something to compile to see if it's my computer?

So I put a message box after the IniWrite() and it never popped up when I clicked save. So that means the code is never even reaching that line.

I replaced the "Save" bar button with a regular button and it reaches the line, but $X[5] exceeds the variable's array range, which means $X's array is smaller than 5. I changed the number to 2 and it worked.

EDIT: Here is your edited code:

The problem is here => GUICtrlCreateMenu. This menu has no items to click on. If you replace that with a button (or add a menu item that can receive clicks using GUICtrlCreateMenuItem), it will create the ini. There is currently no message being received.

Rux, awesome, thanks a lot! and czardas I'll try that.

No problem.
