Bug? with IniRenameSection

[GaryFrost]

Here's the scenario:

if the section is empty and I want to rename the section, but make sure not overwritting another section

I use the 0 flag

example of the ini that is failing

[MySection]

simple and should not fail.

but the following does

$res = IniRenameSection(@ScriptDir & "\My.ini", "MySection", "MyNewSection",0)
ConsoleWrite($res & ", " & @error & @LF)

now if i make the ini

[MyNewSection]
key=1

the above rename works., shouldn't fail if the section is empty (just the section header)

Agree?????

The documentation may need updated. The function will only work with a non-empty source section.

An empty section is equivalent to a section that does not exist. So essentially you're saying "copy this section that doesn't exist".

Thanks for clarifying, figured it should be as you say, but wanted to make sure.

i'm sorry for bumping the old post.

Never thought autoit HELP would have error like this.

Because I spent hours figuring out why IniRenameSection doesn't replace/renew my new section because I have my all sections without key in it.

Thank god i found this topic.

As Gary said, the documentation may need updating, and I agree tha it should be pointed out in the help that an empty section cannot be renamed, so I suggest you report it as a documentation bug/change request.
