The script seems to write the data, but then just replace it with a new value. How do I prevent this, so after reading the section, the new value that is read form the different ini file will be added at a new line?

I have moved the thread for you, but would ask you to be more careful in future. M23 My bad - thanks. So I thought it might have something to do with the index parameter in iniwritesection, but this didnt work: ; Shows the filenames of all files in the current directory Local $search = FileFindFirstFile("*.ini") ; Check if the search was successful If $search = -1 Then MsgBox(0, "Error", "No files/directories matched the search pattern") Exit EndIf $i = 0 While 1 Local $file = FileFindNextFile($search) If @error Then ExitLoop $data = IniReadSection ($file, "Datanavn") IniWriteSection (@ScriptDir & "/test/test.ini", "Datanavn", $data, $i) $i = $i + 1 WEnd ; Close the search handle FileClose($search) Edited June 9, 2013 by Aarstad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Any time you have keys inside a section and try to write new values to those keys, it will overwrite the value currently set to the key. You can't add new keys with the same name to the same section. If you write to a section (using IniWriteSection) that already contains keys/values, those old keys/values will be lost and new ones will be created for the section. The index parameter of the InWriteSection function only refers to when you use an array as the data parameter, it tells the function which index of the array to start reading the array from.

TheSaint Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Rather than read in and then write out whole sections, you are better reading in every key individually from every ini file, which will take longer of course, but allows much finer control, where you can do comparisons of values, then either replace existing or add to a new key name (possibly with an increment added) .... or even combine if that is suitable. Make sure brain is in gear before opening mouth! Remember, what is not said, can be just as important as what is said. Spoiler What is the Secret Key?
