INI Files

[MattX]

I'm knocking up a script which will detect if a user is logged on and if so send an E-mail to the helpdesk.

I have a list of users in an ini file - example:

[USERS]
USER01=tuser
USER02=tuser2    
USER03=tuser3

When using iniread, will this place all them into memory as I want to state something like If @UserName  =  any of the names in the ini file do something..

Or do I need to read them in using a different method ?

 

[Danyfirex]

simply this.

@UserName=IniRead("Yourinifile.ini","USERS","USER01","")

Danyfirex that won't work, you can't assign anything to a macro.

You can use IniReadSection to get all of the usernames in the INI file in that section and loop through them to look for the @Username.

Global $aUsers = IniReadSection("myinifile.ini", "Users")
For $Loop = 1 To $aUsers[0][0]
    If @UserName = $aUsers[$Loop][1] Then
        ;do something here
    EndIf
Next

thanks @BrewManNH Maybe I didn't understand the question  I'm still asleep.  

Edit: I meant compare. not assign

That works if the listed @UserName is USER01, what do I need to do to get it it to pick up if the UserName is say user02, user03, user04 etc.

I could repeat the

If @UserName = IniRead(@ScriptDir & "\users.ini", "USERS","USER01", "") Then

 

With a load of ElseIfs but is there a easier way to read in every line in the INI file ?

Not fully sure why an ini file for user name, or what side of the ini file has the actual user name your searching for based on the example.  So I am assuming the key has the user name and the value is a return value you need with INIRead().

 

$aUsers = IniReadSection(@ScriptDir & "\Users.ini", "USERS")
For $i = 1 to $aUsers[0][0]
If StringInStr(@UserName, $aUsers[$i][0]) Then
$sResult = IniRead(@ScriptDir & "\Users.ini", "USERS", $aUsers[$i][0], "")
MsgBox(0, "", $sResult)
EndIf
Next

I think BrewManNH's solution works.

It does indeed - ( BrewManNH ) just tested - it. So did yours Danyfirex but I didn't want a load o ElseIfs ( about 150 to be more accurate )

Thanks all for the assistance - much better understanding of it now.
