Hi, I don't know what should be the proper title for this question

I'm trying to create a way to change the output order by using a .ini file, the problem is using the correct "row" from the array and passing it as a variable, don't know how to explain it properly so here's what I done so far, and is not working:

Global $ini = @ScriptDir & "\test.ini", $x
IniWrite($ini,"Test","CustomView","#name# (#yold#) - #contry#")
Dim $aListMembers[5][3] = [['19','Tiago','Brazil'], _
                            ['34','GUILERMO','Spain'], _
                            ['25','NICOLAO','Spain'], _
                            ['20','ELENA','Italy'], _
                            ['18','KRISTEN','Germany']]
$sConfig = IniRead($ini,"Test","CustomView","#contry# - #name# (#yold#)")
FileDelete($ini)
$list = StringReplace($sConfig,"#contry#",$aListMembers[$x][2])
$list = StringReplace($sConfig,"#name#",$aListMembers[$x][1])
$list = StringReplace($sConfig,"#yold#",$aListMembers[$x][0])
For $x = 0 To UBound($aListMembers)-1
    ConsoleWrite($list&@LF)
Next
Exit

the array is not being read correctly, the output (from the code above) is:

#name# (19) - #contry#
#name# (19) - #contry#
#name# (19) - #contry#
#name# (19) - #contry#
#name# (19) - #contry#

the expected output is:

Tiago (19) - Brazil
GUILERMO (34) - Spain
NICOLAO (25) - Spain
ELENA (20) - Italy
KRISTEN (18) - Germany

This even possible to do? :(

thanks

Heroes, there is no such thing

One day I'll discover what IE.au3 has of special for so many users using it.

If you want this result:

Tiago (19) - Brazil
GUILERMO (34) - Spain
NICOLAO (25) - Spain
ELENA (20) - Italy
KRISTEN (18) - Germany
make it this way:
Global $ini = @ScriptDir & "\test.ini", $x
IniWrite($ini, "Test", "CustomView", "#name# (#yold#) - #contry#")
Dim $aListMembers[5][3] = [['19', 'Tiago', 'Brazil'], _
        ['34', 'GUILERMO', 'Spain'], _
        ['25', 'NICOLAO', 'Spain'], _
        ['20', 'ELENA', 'Italy'], _
        ['18', 'KRISTEN', 'Germany']]
$sConfig = IniRead($ini, "Test", "CustomView", "#contry# - #name# (#yold#)")
FileDelete($ini)
For $x = 0 To UBound($aListMembers) - 1
    $list = StringReplace($sConfig, "#contry#", $aListMembers[$x][2])
    $list = StringReplace($list, "#name#", $aListMembers[$x][1])
    $list = StringReplace($list, "#yold#", $aListMembers[$x][0])
    ConsoleWrite($list & @LF)
Next
Exit

AutoBert,

That addresses the array problem, however, it looks like the OP is trying to integrate an INI file.

@DiOgO,

INI file keys have to be unique. Is the following code what you are trying to do?

#include <array.au3>

; this is how I would create the ini file.  The numbers are suffixed to the keys because each key has to be unique

local  $ini = @ScriptDir & "\test.ini"

Dim $aListMembers[5][3] = [['19','Tiago','Brazil'], _
                            ['34','GUILERMO','Spain'], _
                            ['25','NICOLAO','Spain'], _
                            ['20','ELENA','Italy'], _
                            ['18','KRISTEN','Germany']]

iniwrite($ini,'CustomView','Total Users',ubound($aListMembers - 1)) ; used to provide a reference for # of entries to read

For $x = 0 To UBound($aListMembers)-1
    iniwrite($ini,'CustomView','Name' & stringformat('%03i',$x),$aListMembers[$x][1])
    iniwrite($ini,'CustomView','Age' & stringformat('%03i',$x),$aListMembers[$x][0])
    iniwrite($ini,'CustomView','Country' & stringformat('%03i',$x),$aListMembers[$x][2])
Next

shellexecute($ini)

; this is how you can read the ini file

local $total_users = iniread($ini,'CustomView','Total Users',0)

if $total_users = 0 then
    msgbox(0,'ERROR','Total Users key not found')
    Exit
endif

; display all users and values

for $1 = 0 to $total_users- 1
    ConsoleWrite(stringformat('%-30s%-30s%-30s',iniread($ini,'CustomView','Name' & stringformat('%03i',$1),0), _
                                                iniread($ini,'CustomView','Age' & stringformat('%03i',$1),0), _
                                                iniread($ini,'CustomView','Country' & stringformat('%03i',$1),0)) & @crlf)
next

using your way works, thx :)

Hi kylomas

I read the array from other place and show the output as the same order as it is read from the ini file, in the example the order is: "#name# (#yold#) - #contry#", but can be changed to other like "#contry#, #name# (#yold#)", etc...

The idea is change the order(or number) of results :)

Heroes, there is no such thing

One day I'll discover what IE.au3 has of special for so many users using it.

DiOgO,

Cool, my mistake, good luck.

kylomas

no problem ;)

if you know a way to "byref" variables it would improve script speed :)

props

Is not possible to replace it with "pointers" and use stringformat? (I'm looking into strformat help file, and is more complicated than SRE's :s)

DiOgO,

stringformat is nowhere near a complicated a regexp...what are you trying that isn't working?

kylomas
