Convert dos batch to Autoit

[caboose]

Hello, I am very new to autoit, but so far it has made my job so much easier. I need some help in converting a batch file that I have to autoit. Any help on this even just getting started would be great. This batch first tells what database the program I am using is in by finding a key word in the ini and displays it on screen. Then it brings up a cheesy menu that has selections to change the ini thus changing the database. Here is the batch:

:BEGIN

cls

@ECHO OFF

cls

findstr "Prod" c:\windows\program.ini

findstr "Test" c:\windows\program.ini

ECHO.

ECHO *******************************

ECHO ** PLEASE CHOOSE A NUMBER **

ECHO ** FOR THE PROGRAM DATABASE **

ECHO *******************************

ECHO.

ECHO.

ECHO.

ECHO 1. Prod

ECHO 2. Test

ECHO 3. Exit

ECHO.

ECHO.

SET CHOICE=

SET /P CHOICE=ENTER YOUR SELECTION:

if not '%choice%'=='' set choice=%choice:~0,1%

if '%choice%'=='1' GOTO PROD

if '%choice%'=='2' GOTO TEST

if '%choice%'=='3' GOTO EXIT

ECHO "%choice%" is not valid please try again

ECHO.

GOTO BEGIN

:PROD

copy c:\setdb\programprod.ini c:\windows\program.ini

c:\program\program.exe /r (reregisters the program)

cls

EXIT

:TEST

copy c:\setdb\programtest.ini c:\windows\program.ini

c:\program\program.exe /r (reregisters the program)

cls

EXIT

:EXIT

ECHO.

ECHO.

ECHO.

cls

exit

Hi,

to start maybe this:

If Not FileExists("c:\windows\program.ini") Then Exit
$ret = InputBox("Chose:", "1.Prod" & @CRLF & "2.Test" & @CRLF & "3.Exit")
Switch $ret
    Case 1
        FileCopy("c:\setdb\programprod.ini", "c:\windows\program.ini")
    Case 2
        FileCopy("c:\setdb\programtest.ini", "c:\windows\program.ini")
    Case 3
        Exit (0)
    Case Else
        MsgBox(16, "Error", "Chose 1,2 or 3")
EndSwitch

So long,

Mega

Thanks that helped a lot. I ended up doing it a little differently. The only part I need left is some equivilant to the findstr command in dos. Basically I need some thing to search the ini in the windows folder and return something if it is prod or test before I select a database. Here's what I got so far

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

$Label = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Choose a Program Database", 10, 10)
$ProdID  = GUICtrlCreateButton("Prod", 10, 50, 50, 20)
$TestID   = GUICtrlCreateButton("Test", 80, 50, 50, 20)
$ExitID = GUICtrlCreateButton("Exit", 150, 50, 50, 20)

GUISetState()  

Do
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
   
    Select
        Case $msg= $ProdID
            FileCopy("c:\setdb\programprod.ini", "c:\windows\program.ini",1)
            run("c:\program\program.exe /r")
        Case $msg= $TestID
            FileCopy("c:\setdb\programtest.ini", "c:\windows\program.ini",1)
            run("c:\program\program.exe /r")
        Case $msg= $ExitID
    EndSelect
Until $msg= $ProdID or $msg= $TestID or $msg = $ExitID
