[botanic]

I have an ini file and im trying to read from it the "MODE" this is my code (it always returns "ALL"...):

Send(StringUpper( IniRead($INIFILE, "Trade", "Mode", "ALL")))

the location of the ini file is:

$WORKINGDIR = @ScriptDir & "\";

$INIFILE = $WORKINGDIR & "\Project GremBot.ini"

this is the ini file:

[Trade]

BuyingBotTakes=6

BuyingBotGives=1

BuyingRarity=ANY

BuyingVersion=ANY

Buying=

NumberOwnedSign=>=

NumberOwnedValue=0

Set=ALL

MaxCardsPerTrade=32

NumberOfSameCards=1

NoLands=YES

SellingBotGives=1

SellingBotTakes=1

TradingBotGives=2

TradingBotTakes=1

Mode=BUY

You have repeated the backslash character, try with just one -

$WORKINGDIR = @ScriptDir & "\";<---------------------one

$INIFILE = $WORKINGDIR & "\Project GremBot.ini"<--two

All looks OK to me.

I would check that the file you show really is the file that's being read. If it is then I would edit the file and insert

Mode=Buy

just after

[Trade]

in case there is something funny in the file which you can't see.

Do the other values get read correctly? If not then what happens if you add

If not Filexists($INIFILE) then msgbox(0,'oops','')

Looks to me like there's an error in the path.

$WORKINGDIR = @ScriptDir & "\";

$INIFILE = $WORKINGDIR & "\Project GremBot.ini"

That will return "\\" in the path.

It should be

$WORKINGDIR = @ScriptDir & "\";
$INIFILE = $WORKINGDIR & "Project GremBot.ini"

Edit:

BTW MsgBox(4096, "TEST",<whatever) is your friend. Especially when checking file paths.

MsgBox(4096,"TEST",$IniFile) would have shown the "\\" in the path

Martin is right !

It works fine.

Copy this to a new file called "Project Grebot.ini"

[Trade]

BuyingBotTakes=6

BuyingBotGives=1

BuyingRarity=ANY

BuyingVersion=ANY

Buying=

NumberOwnedSign=>=

NumberOwnedValue=0

Set=ALL

MaxCardsPerTrade=32

NumberOfSameCards=1

NoLands=YES

SellingBotGives=1

SellingBotTakes=1

TradingBotGives=2

TradingBotTakes=1

Mode=BUY

Please create a new directory and place both files (the attachement and the ini you just made) in it.

Then run "Project GremBot.au3"

You'll get a messagebox with the result...

Best regards,

PS. I don't understand the use of the "send", but that's my problem :">

Project_GremBot.au3
