[Solved] Variable in string doesn't work

[HAA]

I'm trying to write a line, which includes a variable to a file. I do get an answer via MsgBox but when I open the file and look at the line, variable has not been written into the file.

#include <File.au3>
AutoItSetOption("ExpandVarStrings", 1)
$valuefile = @UserName
$result = StringRegExp(FileRead("C:\tmp\Test.txt"),$valuefile & "\s=\s(.*)", 1)
MsgBox(0, "", $result[0])
_FileWriteToLine("Q:\test\assi.config", 102, '      <setting name="PhoneInterfaceServiceProvider">$result$ (Aastra2380ip)</setting>', True)

HAA,

Welcome to the AutoIt forums.

You need to concatenate the strings like this:

FileWriteToLine("Q:\test\assi.config", 102, '      <setting name="PhoneInterfaceServiceProvider">' & $result & ' (Aastra2380ip)</setting>', True)

Removed extraneous $

Hi M23,

I've also tried that, but it's actually same and does not work

No it isn't the same so show us the code you have now that still doesn't work.

I think you will also find that

_FileWriteToLine("Q:\test\assi.config", 102, "whatever")

requires that file to exist and to have at least the number of lines already in it that you have specified for the insert.

Jos,

I tried both ways and they are not working,  besides I also removed a $ in the string from M23.

here are the both: 

#include <File.au3>
AutoItSetOption("ExpandVarStrings", 1)
$valuefile = @UserName
$result = StringRegExp(FileRead("C:\tmp\Test.txt"),$valuefile & "\s=\s(.*)", 1) 
MsgBox(0, "", $result[0]) 
_FileWriteToLine("Q:\test\assi.config", 102, '      <setting name="PhoneInterfaceServiceProvider">$result$ (Aastra2380ip)</setting>', True)

and 

#include <File.au3>
AutoItSetOption("ExpandVarStrings", 1)
$valuefile = @UserName
$result = StringRegExp(FileRead("C:\tmp\Test.txt"),$valuefile & "\s=\s(.*)", 1) 
MsgBox(0, "", $result[0]) 
_FileWriteToLine("Q:\test\assi.config", 102, '      <setting name="PhoneInterfaceServiceProvider">' & $result & ' (Aastra2380ip)</setting>', True)

the problem is I have the line withot the variable, which looks like that in the line 102 of my file:

     <setting name="PhoneInterfaceServiceProvider"> (Aastra2380ip)</setting>

the line has been written without the variable

What isn't working?
There's not much we can do with that statement. Post a running code snippet we can play with that demonstrates the issue so we can really help you.

HAA,

I missed it the first time, but StringRegExp with the $STR_REGEXPARRAYMATCH returns an array of matches - so just using the array name will not work.  You need to define which element of that array you need - probably something like this:

FileWriteToLine("Q:\test\assi.config", 102, '      <setting name="PhoneInterfaceServiceProvider">' & $result[0] & ' (Aastra2380ip)</setting>', True)
