Variables don't get filled, unless in short script

[leuce]

G'day everyone

I'm trying to fill one variable from two other variables. Those two variables are filled using IniReads. If I make a test script with just the variables in it, the script works fine:

$getjava1 = IniRead ("omtlauncher.ini", "JavaLocation", "javaloc", "ERROR")
$getjava2 = IniRead ("omtlauncher.ini", "OmegaTLocation", "omtloc", "ERROR")

$javarun = '"' & $getjava1 & '" -jar "' & $getjava2 & '"'

MsgBox (0, "Foo", $javarun, 10)

But if I put those *exact same lines of code* into my longer script, the variables don't get filled by IniRead and I get "ERROR" as variables instead.

See attached file with the INI file and the EXE script (drag and drop any file onto it to run the script).

Any ideas what can be wrong???

Thanks

Samuel

PS I don't think this has anything to do with IniRead, because I have had exactly the same problem with FileReadLine in previous trials.

Its has everything to do with what directory you are "working" in. If you dont implicitly designate the paths you have then you are subject to be looking in the wrong place for your INI file.

Beautiful... this works, then:

(@ScriptDir & "\omtlauncher.ini",

Thanks a lot!

Not a problem. I learned that the hard way myself.
