Get a total from ini

[qazwsx]

I am trying to get the total number of something from an ini. The ini has many sections and each section has a key called number and a coresponding value. This is what i ahve so far to get the total.

Func _updatecount ()
    Local $count = 0
        $names = IniReadSectionNames(@ScriptDir & "\winelist.ini")
    For $i = 1 To $names[0];For each array..
        $count = $count + IniRead(@ScriptDir & "\winelist.ini", $names[$i], "Number", "")
    Next
    GUICtrlSetData($numberofbottles, "")
    GUICtrlSetState ($numberofbottles, $gui_show)
    GUICtrlSetData($numberofbottles, $count, "Error")
    
EndFunc

I think the problem is that Ini read is returning a string not a number. The label does not display anything it is not visible. If you need more code jst ask.

does this work for you ?

Func _updatecount()
    Local $count = 0
    $names = IniReadSectionNames(@ScriptDir & "\winelist.ini")
    For $i = 1 To $names[0];For each array..
        $count += Number(IniRead(@ScriptDir & "\winelist.ini", $names[$i], "Number", ""))
    Next
    GUICtrlSetData($numberofbottles, $count)
EndFunc  ;==>_updatecount
