Arraying ini file ?

[korsg 0]

Hello i am making a little backup script at my work that copies specific files from different network places.

I made an GUI as an control panel that writes the IP adresses of locations to a INI file..

Heres a little view of the ini file:

(backup.ini)

------------------------------

[1]

IP=\\172.16.23.10\hc

[2]

IP=\\172.16.22.10\hc

[3]

IP=\\172.16.21.10\hc

[4]

IP=\\172.16.4.10\hc

[5]

IP=\\172.16.14.10\hc

[6]

IP=\\172.16.2.10\hc

-------------------------------

And then one of my attempts look like this

$source = IniRead("C:\Backup\backup.ini", "1", "IP","error")
$dest = "C:\backup"
 
 
$var = IniReadSectionNames("C:\Backup\backup.ini")
If @error Then 
    MsgBox(4096, "", "Error occured, probably no INI file.")
Else
    For $i = 1 To $var[0]
    $var = RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /c xcopy "'& $source & '"\file.exe"' & '" "' & $dest & '"  /Y',@TempDir)
    Next
EndIf

But this attempt just loops the coping of destination 1.

Just to make it clear the goal of my script is to read all the IP adresses of the INI file and copy the chosen files from every location to a local directory.

I cant figure out how the array thing work, even though been searching through forums and help file, so i really hope you can help me..

$source = IniRead("C:\Backup\backup.ini", "1", "IP","error")
$dest = "C:\backup"


$var = IniReadSectionNames("C:\Backup\backup.ini")
If @error Then
    MsgBox(4096, "", "Error occured, probably no INI file.")
Else
    For $i = 1 To $var[0]
    $copy = RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /c xcopy "'& $source & '"\file.exe"' & '" "' & $dest & '"  /Y',@TempDir)
    Next
EndIf

Just don't mess with $var if you still use it.

This should work for you....

$dest = "C:\backup"

$var = IniReadSectionNames("C:\Backup\backup.ini")
If @error Then 
    MsgBox(4096, "", "Error occured, probably no INI file.")
Else
   For $i = 1 To $var[0]
      $source = IniRead("C:\Backup\backup.ini", $var[$i], "IP","error")
      If $source <> 'error' Then
         RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /c xcopy "'& $source & '"\file.exe"' & '" "' & $dest & '" /Y',@TempDir)
     EndIf
   Next
EndIf

Edit: Fixed Typo

I will replace this line $var = RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /c xcopy "'& $source & '"\file.exe"' & '" "' & $dest & '" /Y',@TempDir)

for this one FileCopy($source & '\file.exe', $dest, 9)
