Want to create ini's - Problem with Arrays...

[neo van matix]

Heyho,..

Some Explanation at start...

I write a tool that helps me to install Programs on new workstations at work.

The "Basic" Script is works for many weeks, and now, i wrote an other Script with GUI.

The Idea is the following: I've a list of ~20 Programs (like msoffice, msvisio, and so on..), behind of each entry is a checkbox and a inputbox for priority.

Now i want to click the entries i like to install, and set a priority.

Then, i want to check, which entries are checked. The result of this check (like msoffice,..) will be inserted into an array. Now i read out the priority of the programs in array.

Yet, i will sort the array, and generate an ini-file with div. sections, write sorted desc by the priority into an ini-file.

So, lil example...

MS Office [checkbox] [priority]

MS Visio [checkbox] [priority]

Input:

MS Office -checked- [2]

MS Visio -checked- [1]

Now i want to write the ini:

[MS Visio]

...

[MS Office]

...

u see, the parts with lower priority are behind of parts, with higher priority... u understand?

My Problem...

Func WRITECONFIGS()
    $programme = _ArrayCreate("_msoffice2000", "_msvisio2000", "_msprojekt2000")
    
    For $i = 0 to 2
        $prog2check = "$check"&$programme[$i]
        IF GUICtrlRead($prog2check) = $GUI_CHECKED Then
            msgbox(0, "", $prog2check&" blabla = 1")
        EndIf
    Next
EndFunc

The checkbox names are $check_msoffice2000, $check_msvisio2000, ...

Could it be, that i cannot create variable-names like above shown ?

Hi,

first of all - why do you want to have a prio? I think there must be a reason why all of the apps should be installed, so it doesn't matter which one is first.

To get a solution I'll have to look a bit closer. :">

So long,

It matter, which will be installed first...

I've finaly 21 programs, which will be installed on new workstations... like winrar, nero, office, visio, acrobat, and so on

The first thing, y i need a exact order to install programs: I must do it in a given order,...

The Second: Some programs have dependencies to others. Example: Before i can install the Acrobat-Updates, i need Acrobat. Or: Before i can install Acrobat, i need to install a postscript-printer.

My code has a length of 1000 rows... and i didnt want to paste all of them into a board...

What u need, to look a bit closer?

I think, i gave u enough information, about the script, i'm writing for...

Additional: I havent much more code, that attended to my problem...

i'm sorry for my bad grammatical english

I just sent you a PM that should do what you need. Let me know if you have any questions on the code I sent you. Hope it helps.

Thanks vollyman, but, i think, i've a solution, that appears easier to solve my problem...

Maybe, its a lil bit more Copy&Paste (because i write 21 if-clauses *G*), but i think, its the better way.

Now, my idea works fine for now... but i've another problem...

I want to write these art of ini's:

[Office]

path = xyz

name = xyz

priority = X

Yet, i've 21 sections, each with a prioritylevel.

How should a script appears, which call each path of each section in the order of the priorities ?

Example:

[Office]

path = \\bla\office

name = Office

priority = 3

[Acrobat]

path = \\bla\acrobat

name = Acrobat

priority = 1

[Wirar]

path = \\bla\winrar

name = WinRar

priority = 2

These are the informations in the ini file. But for now: With wich way, i can call Acrobat before Winrar / Office ?

You could try to use a array on a group of GUICtrlCreateCombo controls. One control would be listed becide each app. The range in the control would be 1-21. Your script would look to see what program has the highest priorty, and run that one first. (and so on)

Take a look at this script. It has the layout I'm talking about. I didn't build it using a array, but you should get the idea.

GUICtrlSetData($Combo_8,"1|2|3|4","")
$Button_9 = GuiCtrlCreateButton("Run", 20, 190, 70, 30)
$Button_10 = GuiCtrlCreateButton("Exit", 120, 190, 70, 30)

GuiSetState()
While 1
    $msg = GuiGetMsg()
    Select
    Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
        ExitLoop
    Case Else
        ;;;
    EndSelect
WEnd
Exit

This also allows for any apps to be added without much coding.

Ahh,,.. i dont have to sort each entrie in an array in an order...

Its enough to write a lil loop, that searches for the var with the lowest value, then write that part to the ini and delete the var / value from the array...

Harrr!!! I like it.. ^^
