how to use ReplaceStringInFile

[zoub99]

hi,

i have a txt file (ipstation.txt) who contains this chain:

192.192.192.192;255.255.255.255;192.168.0.1

i want to replace the string "192.192.192.192" by "192.168.0.2"

my script

;=======================================================

; creation du fichier ipstation.txt en ecriture

$FICHIPSTATION = FileOpen("C:\temp\clone\ipstation.txt",2)

If $FICHIPCONFIG = -1 Then

MsgBox(0, "Erreur", "Il n'a pas été possible de créer le fichier!")

Exit

EndIf

$IP="192.192.192.192"

ReplaceStringInFile ($FICHIPSTATION,$IP,$IPPC)

;=======================================================

$IPPC is the chain "192.168.0.2"

but it doesn't work

thanks for your help

1. FileOpen('FileName', 2) Deletes the current files content

2. You don't need to do that with ReplaceStringInFile. (Also the UDF needs an underscore in front of it)

#include <File.au3>
_ReplaceStringInFile ("C:\temp\clone\ipstation.txt", '192.192.192.192', '192.168.0.2')

Is all you need. Edited February 14, 2007 by SmOke_N

Tsk tsk, Smoke, you need to heed your own advice. You forgot the underscore in your [code] example.

No doubt I did!! I had an error in posting ... the code came out jumbled so I "fixed" it (yeah... some fix!)

Thanks Saunders - Editing it now.

thank's for your answers........but it doesn't work's

my new script (is name is "recup adresse mac.au3")

#include <File.au3>

ReplaceStringInFile ("C:\temp\clone\ipstation.txt", '192.192.192.192', '192.168.0.2')

is the line "#include <File.au3>" important for ReplaceStringInFile ?

in that case can i put in the script "#include recup adress mac.au3"

sorry for my stupid questions but i begin with autoit

Yes, File.au3 is neceassey since the _ReplaceStringInFile() function is a user defined function that is stored in file.au3

The code above didn't work because you removed the underscore( "_" ) from be beginning of the function. A user defined function has an underscore in front of it to let the programmer know that the function is not a native autoit function.

#include <File.au3>
_ReplaceStringInFile ("C:\temp\clone\ipstation.txt", '192.192.192.192', '192.168.0.2')

Try that to the character^.
