replace string

[kristoff]

Hi everybody,

I'm currently working on a project to deploy an aplication to dedicated targets located in txt file.

Once the software is pushed to the server, I have to modify the unattended file.

The problem, is that the line order can't be changed, if it is, the application is stucked. Using iniwrite will append at the end of each ection. For instance, I need to change the line #30 (servename=Default to servername=StringLower(@ComputerName) ), that's ok but not at line 30

If someone can point me or help me to sort out this, I'll be grateful !!

TIA gang

Instead of using the IniWrite command, try reading it as a standard file using FileRead or the UDF to read a file into an array (each line as an element.) You could do that, search for the ini section, then key you're looking for. Change that element of the array, and then write the file back from your modified array.

Using iniwrite will append at the end of each ection.

.. this is true only if the key does not already exist.

If the key exists already, then the line is updated wherever it is .. try this and you'll see that the position of key01 doesn't change with the second assignment:

INIwrite("_xxx.ini","section","key01","aaaaa")
    INIwrite("_xxx.ini","section","key02","aaaaa")
    INIwrite("_xxx.ini","section","key03","aaaaa")
    INIwrite("_xxx.ini","section","key01","bbbbb");--> key01 stays where it is

exit
