ini file problem

[benjamindh]

Hello everyone, I have a problem with an INI file, it happens that this INI file is all saved in a different format, when using the iniwrite it writes it differently in this way [RESOLUTION] and the values in this way screen_x = 1324 screen_x = 680, adding the = sign then saving it doesn't work for me, but removing the = sign and the braces works perfectly, I attached ini file format

 

#

# RESOLUTION

#

screen_x                             1324

screen_y                             680

fullscreen                            0

 

 

 

func Ini()
   $Rlargo = GUICtrlRead($r_largo)
   $Rancho = GUICtrlRead($r_ancho)
   IniWrite("Config.ini","# RESOLUTION","screen_x", $Rlargo)
   IniWrite("Config.ini","# RESOLUTION","screen_y", $Rancho)

 EndFunc

The shown fileformat for that ini file is invalid and not the standard format use in Windows. The IniRead & IniWrite us the standard Windows format.

How would it be to solve this problem or does it not exist in autoit?

[Jos]

Maybe you need to start with defining exactly what the file needs to look like, but if it is anyway close to what you posted then you need to write your own functions for reading and writing the file as it isn't the standard Windows format which looks like:

[topic]
Field=value

this way the original file looks, so with the 2 inputs I need to load the values and save them in the same format

 

[Jos]

So as stated: write some logic to open the file and read the records into variables.

try this code it may help ya 

Global $ste = 1
IniFileWrite("Config.ini","[","RESOLUTION","]","screen_x","=","1324")

Func  IniFileWrite($Filer,$Brace,$section,$Brace2,$keyr,$Equal,$value)
    $File = FileReadToArray($Filer)
    $File = @extended
    For $i = 0 To $File Step 1
       $i = $i + 1
    if FileReadLine($Filer,$i)= $Brace&$section&$Brace2 Then
         $ste = 0
       FileWrite($Filer,$keyr&$Equal&$value&@CRLF)
    Else
      if $ste = 1 Then
       FileWriteLine($Filer,$Brace&$section&$Brace2 &@CRLF&$keyr&$Equal&$value&@CRLF)
       ExitLoop
       EndIf
    EndIf

 Next
 EndFunc

Not pretty like..

Don't know if this is what you mean. It writes the values to the ini file in the format you supplied, not a default ini format.

Config.iniFetching info...

It does not work for me, I have these 2 inputs where I load the ini information when executing the script, as you can see in the image it presents the error because it needs the = sign but as I mentioned before the ini format of the application that I use does not use the = sign

Have you tried the code? There are no downloads for the config.ini and I made a quick gui based on what I could gather from your posts. Post your full code. So if I understand correctly, you want to load the ini values into the inputs, and write them when the button is clicked?

Do you want the format the same as you posted, or a standard ini file?

[benjamindh]

config.iniFetching info...

this is the original ini file

[benners]

Using the file you posted which should be in the same dir as the script I can get the inputs to load and any saved values written to the file.
