IniRead = Stressed out!

[JibsMan]

I'm having problems reading my .ini file.

I can locate it.

I can create it.

I can write to it.

I cannot read it! 

What I do get is Message Boxes with "HTML Path is" and "EXE Path is". I don't even get the defaults I created in the variables... or the default "Fail"...

I'm sure it's something stupid I missed. 

#cs ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

 AutoIt Version: 3.3.12.0
 Author:         myName

 Script Function:
Template AutoIt script.

#ce ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

; Script Start - Add your code below here

#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>
Local $htmlPath = "htmlPath"
Local $exePath = "exePath"

SetIni()

Func SetIni()

   If Not FileExists ("C:\Temp\IniPaths.ini") Then
     MsgBox ($MB_ICONINFORMATION+$MB_OK, "Error", "Unable to find IniPaths.ini. Creating File")
     IniWrite ("C:\Temp\IniPaths.ini", "Validation", "Path", "C:\Temp\validation.html")
     IniWrite ("C:\Temp\IniPaths.ini", "EXE", "Path", "C:\Temp\")
   EndIf


   $htmlPath = IniRead("C:\Temp\IniPaths.ini", "Validation", "Path", "Fail")
   MsgBox ($MB_ICONINFORMATION+$MB_OK, "Info", "HTML Path is ", $htmlPath)

   $exePath = IniRead("IniPaths.ini", "XDMR", "Path", "Fail")
   MsgBox ($MB_ICONINFORMATION+$MB_OK, "Info", "EXE Path is ", $exePath)
EndFunc

Expert (or even beginner if you can fix it) help appreciated!

In your MsgBox, you have a comma near the end of the statement that should be an ampersand. Example:

MsgBox ($MB_ICONINFORMATION+$MB_OK, "Info", "HTML Path is " & $htmlPath) ; Note the '&'

I agree with abberation.  That is why the message box did not work.  Now you need to figure out if it says fail or the info from your file.  If fail, this will show you if you are actually creating the file a failed write returns 0:

If Not FileExists ("C:\Temp\IniPaths.ini") Then
     MsgBox ($MB_ICONINFORMATION+$MB_OK, "Error", "Unable to find IniPaths.ini. Creating File")
     $filewrite=IniWrite ("C:\Temp\IniPaths.ini", "Validation", "Path", "C:\Temp\validation.html")
     ConsoleWrite(@crlf&"This is the value of file write :"&$filewrite&@crlf)

Just for the record the actual temporary directory is at @TempDir, not C;Temp.
