Var don't work with .init [SOLVED]

[edumanilha]

Hi,

I'm trying to implement init on my script, to save some preferences...The first one was mute, but when I change the script to .init use, my var seens not working...

 

IniWrite ("Config.ini", "Effects", "Mute", "True")
            sleep(200)
            $Mute = IniRead("Config.ini", "Effects", "Mute", "")

I put the sleep cause I tried to eliminate some lag between the write and read...But thats not the problem, when I put msgbox, the var is OK...

My script only work with the basic: $Mute = False/True

edumanilha,

Ini files only store strings - so you would need to convert both the stored and returned value - perhaps like this:

#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

$Mute = False

If $Mute = True Then
    $Mute = 1
Else
    $Mute = 0
EndIf

IniWrite ("Config.ini", "Effects", "Mute", $Mute)

Sleep(200)

$Mute = IniRead("Config.ini", "Effects", "Mute", "")

If $Mute == "1" Then
    $Mute = True
Else
    $Mute = False
EndIf

MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Value", $Mute)

Thanks for your help! Now it works!

I did this:

On func:

IniWrite ("Config.ini", "Effects", "Mute", "1")
~;sleep(200)
~;$Mute = IniRead("Config.ini", "Effects", "Mute", "")
~;If $Mute == "1" Then $Mute = True
$Mute = True

On script start:

$Mute = IniRead("Config.ini", "Effects", "Mute", "")
If $Mute == "1" Then
        $Mute = True
Else
        $Mute = False
EndIf

For learning purposes:

Whats the diference between - $Mute = True for $Mute = "fetch value and return here" (True) ? Because when I do this, I'm not telling $Mute to accept this value?

$Mute = IniRead("Config.ini", "Effects", "Mute", "")

In my thinking the string situation is like: "read something" ($Mute = True) So I'm not "linking" the value to the var, I just read some raw text...

and I saw you kept the sleep, you think I should keep there?

Thanks again for you help!

edumanilha,

Sorry, but I am afraid I do not understand your question concerning the assignment of a value to the $Mute variable.

As to the Sleep - why do you need it at all? You already have $Mute set to the correct Boolean value so why go to all the trouble of re-reading it from the ini file? The Ini* functions are pretty reliable and in my experience I have never had an IniWrite that did not work (if the file has the necessary permissions set).

You're right...I'll put the read just in the script starting...I forgot to rip this part... The sleep was por diagnosis, but thats not the case, so I'll delete this too!

About the assignment, I'm curious about the difference between direct assignment and fetch the True/False in the file...But You said already! So nevermind!

Thanks for your support and time!
