pingthis 0 Posted April 28, 2004 (edited) Ok I am fairly new to AutoIT but have been getting along so far. I am trying to make an entry in the system.ini file under the [mci] section. I can not get it to work at all. I get no error message, nothing. if I change the section to any of the oter sections or create a new section the ini file edit works correctly. Here is the line, with $Files being the full path to the system.ini: IniWrite($files, "mci", "poop", "true") What gives? Anyone else run across this?

CyberSlug 6 Posted April 29, 2004 (edited) Strange... Really strange. Same behavior here on Windows XP Pro sp1. I can write to other sections but not mci.... My system.ini file looks like: ; for 16-bit app support [drivers] wave=mmdrv.dll timer=timer.drv [mci] [driver32] [386enh] woafont=dosapp.FON EGA80WOA.FON=EGA80WOA.FON EGA40WOA.FON=EGA40WOA.FON CGA80WOA.FON=CGA80WOA.FON CGA40WOA.FON=CGA40WOA.FON Edit: It does not even work on a copy of the file Bug in IniWrite?

Jon 1,012 Posted April 29, 2004 Not unless you can see a bug in the code, which is tiny: void AutoIt_Script::IniWrite(VectorVariant &vParams, Variant &vResult) { char szFileTemp[_MAX_PATH+1]; // Get the fullpathname (ini functions need a full path) Util_GetFullPathName(vParams[0].szValue(), szFileTemp); if (WritePrivateProfileString(vParams[1].szValue(), vParams[2].szValue(), vParams[3].szValue(), szFileTemp)) WritePrivateProfileString(NULL, NULL, NULL, szFileTemp); // Flush else vResult = 0; // Error, default is 1 } // IniWrite() Deployment Blog: https://www.autoitconsulting.com/site/blog/ SCCM SDK Programming: https://www.autoitconsulting.com/site/sccm-sdk/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Valik 478 Posted April 29, 2004 I get messed up results on this particular file all the way around. I can't even begin to explain it, but I can actually get it to set stuff that doesn't appear (IniWrite) then read that back in (IniRead), yet my text editor (Nor DOS edit) show any of what I'm reading/writing.
