Operator help

[BrainSurgery]

So here I am with my first post and I know its something so simple I am going to regret asking :">

Starting off with $Runs at 0 and $SetRuns at 10 everything works fine until $Runs hits 2. At this point the second case is always selected and it does not matter what number between 2 and 10 is used.

I have the feeling I might be using the Operators incorrectly but to my eyes it looks ok...

Thank you in advance!

CODE

Func RunCheck()

$Runs = IniRead(@SCRIPTDIR & "\Config.ini", "MAIN", "Runs", "")

Sleep(1000)

$SetRuns = IniRead(@SCRIPTDIR & "\Config.ini", "MAIN", "SetRuns", "")

Sleep(1000)

Select

Case $SetRuns > $Runs

$Runs += 1

IniWrite(@SCRIPTDIR & "\Config.ini", "MAIN", "Runs", $Runs )

LogEvent(1, "Not yet time")

Sleep(1000)

Exit

Case $SetRuns = $Runs Or $Runs > $SetRuns

$Runs = 0

IniWrite(@SCRIPTDIR & "\Config.ini", "MAIN", "Runs", $Runs )

LogEvent(1, "Starting up!")

Sleep(1000)

Case Else

LogEvent(1, "Runs or SetRuns not specified!! Setting both to default!!")

IniWrite(@SCRIPTDIR & "\Config.ini", "MAIN", "Runs", 0 )

IniWrite(@SCRIPTDIR & "\Config.ini", "MAIN", "SetRuns", 10 )

EndSelect

EndFunc

$SetRuns = $Runs

I would use ==

[BrainSurgery]

$SetRuns == $Runs

Did not think of that because I was not comparing strings but still it does not work.

Thanks for the reply

Well your ini must be wrong somehow

$Runs = 2
$SetRuns = 10

Select
    Case $SetRuns > $Runs
        MsgBox(0,0,"1 case")
        Exit
    Case $SetRuns = $Runs Or $Runs > $SetRuns
        MsgBox(0,0,"2 case")
    Case Else
        MsgBox(0,0,"3 case")
EndSelect

I think i got it.. When you read from an INI the var is treatet like a string not a number and "2" > "10" but 2 < 10

So you have to convert the string to a number

[Shevilie]

And the solution is

Func RunCheck()

$Runs = IniRead(@SCRIPTDIR & "\Config.ini", "MAIN", "Runs", "")
$Runs = Int($Runs)
Sleep(1000)
$SetRuns = IniRead(@SCRIPTDIR & "\Config.ini", "MAIN", "SetRuns", "")
$SetRuns = Int($SetRuns)
Sleep(1000)

Select
Case $SetRuns > $Runs
$Runs += 1
IniWrite(@SCRIPTDIR & "\Config.ini", "MAIN", "Runs", $Runs )
LogEvent(1, "Not yet time")
Sleep(1000)
Exit
Case $SetRuns = $Runs Or $Runs > $SetRuns
$Runs = 0
IniWrite(@SCRIPTDIR & "\Config.ini", "MAIN", "Runs", $Runs )
LogEvent(1, "Starting up!")
Sleep(1000)
Case Else
LogEvent(1, "Runs or SetRuns not specified!! Setting both to default!!")
IniWrite(@SCRIPTDIR & "\Config.ini", "MAIN", "Runs", 0 )
IniWrite(@SCRIPTDIR & "\Config.ini", "MAIN", "SetRuns", 10 )
EndSelect
EndFunc

Yep that solved the problem!!! Thanks!!

I did not know that reading from the ini file the values were treated as "strings"......

Thanks again!!
