iniwrite variable problem

[satanttin]

Alloha,

I have a little problem with saving variables to an .ini file. it works for normal entry's but not for variables i've done it before just forgot how.

the thing is when i save data instead of data it puts numbers in there?

the code for writing data is:

IniWrite("Data Files\CoWorkers.ini", $IName, "Name", $IName)

Hope someone can help me.

The code you posted uses the same variable for the section name and the content of the key. Is this what you want?

That is not a true path.

Where is "Data Files" ?

If you want to write to an Ini file in a subdirectory of the current directory use:

IniWrite(@ScriptDir & "\Data Files\CoWorkers.ini", $IName, "Name", $IName)

yes this is what i want because i need to save more things to each coworker.

@ripdad

 i use ISN autoit studio just the path is correct otherwise i can't even save numbers to it.

IniWrite(@ScriptDir & "\Data Files\CoWorkers.ini", $IName, "Name", $IName)

still only gives numbers to the .ini

Can you post a working example? How do you save numbers?

[satanttin]

Func AddCoWorker()
IniWrite("Data Files\Coworker.ini", $IName, "Name", $IName)
IniWrite("Data Files\Coworker.ini", $IName, "Department", $Department)
IniWrite("Data Files\Coworker.ini", $IName, "Age", $Age)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $Main)
GUIDelete($AddNew)
EndFunc

This is the function i use to save to the .ini file.

just instead of names it puts a 4 or stuff in it like below:

[4]
Name=4
Department=5
Age=6

Looks like you write the ControlId and not the content of the Control?

Can you please post all lines of your script where $IName is being used?

[satanttin]

$IName = GUICtrlCreateInput("Name",51,4,150,20,-1,512)
the input where i can add coworkers.

IniWrite("Data Files\coworker.ini", $IName, "Name", $IName)
What u already saw.

Global $IName

$GName = $IName
cause i think i need to save the input to another variable to print it somewhere on the screen

Usually you have a button on the GUI (OK, Start, Save or whatever) to let the script process the users input.

There you read the data of the controls and store it in a variable.

Example:

$sName = GUICtrlRead($IName)

You then need to use this variable to write to the Ini file.

IniWrite("Data Files\Coworker.ini", $sName, "Name", $sName)
