Read line

[kristoff]

Hi gang,

I'm beat stuck with this. During soft installation, I 've added a sleep, but sometimes the sleep value is not enough. So I thought than testing if a line is present in a report log file. Report file use ini format. I was looking for a soltuion wich test if the line 9 (last one ) is here or not, whatever the result ( 0 is ok 1 :"> not good ).

So I wrote a script with

$returncode = iniread($setuplog,"ResponseResult","ResultCode","") and if the $returncode value is empty then loop.

Problem is cannot exit from the loop

Any experience or clue ....

cheers mates

Is your log a standard ini file with this shape?

Filename equal to $setuplog

[ResponseResult]

ResultCode=0

or

[ResponseResult]

ResultCode=1

If it is not, this is your problem

Also: maybe the program keep the .log file open? And so Autoit cant access it?

Since you know that the line is always the 9th you can try:

$returncode = 'ResultCode=1'
While $returncode = 'ResultCode=1';It will leave when the line change.
   $returncode = FileReadLine($setuplog,9)
   Sleep(1000)
WEnd

Well in fact I don't mind about the results at this stage, just want to check if the line 9 is here or not. Thanks for point me on file is open by the setup process ;-)

I have no problem check return value by application , I do this later in the script. I don't want to use a sleep, because the installation duration depend on hardware performance, so I would prefer using a loop to test if line 9 is here or not which means installation is over or not.

I check later in my script the return value.

cheers

If it enough knowing if the line is there or not just use:

While 1
   FileReadLine($returncode,9)
   If not @error Then Exitloop
   Sleep(1000)
WEnd

here's my script:

Opt("TrayIconDebug", 1) ;0=no info, 1=debug line info

Opt("TrayIconHide", 0) ;0=show, 1=hide tray icon

$setuplog = ("setup.log")

$line_code = 9

;$file = FileOpen($setuplog, 0)

;MsgBox(0, "....FILE....", $setuplog)

$returncode = iniread($setuplog,"ResponseResult","ResultCode","")

MsgBox(0, "....FILE....", $returncode)

While 1

FileReadLine($returncode,$line_code)

If not @error Then Exitloop

MsgBox(0, "....RESULT CODE....", "the valut NOT exist")

Sleep(300)

WEnd

MsgBox(0, "....RESULT CODE....", "THE VALUE EXIST")

exit

Well, this a loop of death, infinite, even when I update the source file and save of course.

Please help I'm stuck ;-)

you are trying the read the $returncode as it were a file in FileReadLine() ... Sound strange.
