INI Read Error

[no4ndth3n]

I am trying to read a setting from an INI file. If I output the INI information BEFORE I update the LISTVIEW control, then it reads the information fine. However, if I update the LISTVIEW control with the PC list first, the INI information will not display. It outputs blanks.

I have a file C:\pcs.txt that contains a list of PC's

I have an ini file that contains

[PSEXEC]
exe=psexec.exe
folder=@scriptDir

[Java 1.4.2_12]
command=C:\Documents and Settings\eito.ARROWHEADCU\Desktop\j2re-1_4_2_12-windows-i586-p.exe
arguments=/s /v" /qn IEXPLORE=0 MOZILLA=0 JAVAUPDATE=0 WEBSTARTICON=0 AgreeToLicense=1 EULA=1"

Now, if I display the results from INIRead before I select the input file, I can display the INI values, but if I upload the file at any time, the values are overwritten with blanks.

You don't specify an explicit path to the INI file so it looks in the working directory. FileOpenDialog() changes the working directory, ergo, you're looking for an INI file in a completely different location than you think.

The moral of the story: Always specify the full path to your files.

Ah yes! Thank you very much. That would have taken me quite a while to figure out.
