INIRead

I'm using an Input box (not dialog) to take in words. I want to have every word I ever typed in the Input box

stored in a variable and when the program is about to close it will write it to an INI. How do I do this?

Here is what I have so far but it overwrites whatever is in the INI whenever I put in a new word in the

input box.

$Input = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 365, 25, 110, 20)

While 1

$msg = GUIGetMsg()

Select

Case $msg = $OKButton

$savedwords = INIWrite("C:\test.ini", "Section", "Key", GUICtrlRead($Input))

GUICtrlSetData($AddBuddyInput, "") ; just resets the Input box to nothing in it

------------------------------------------------------

Sorry for the title, should be INIWrite...

Try using a counter so that you're ini data looks like this:

[section]

0=Zero

1=This

2=Probably

3=Will

4=Work

Use $var = IniReadSecion("C:\test.ini", "Section")

Then $var[0][0] will be how many items are already in the list.

Consequently you could use something like this to add one more to the list:

IniWrite("C:\test.ini", "Section", $var[0][0] + 1, GuiCtrlRead($Input))

you either need to read the ini key's value in and append to it for your write operation, or create new key /value pairs for each write.

You have to increment the Key or you'll continually overwrite the data.

It will be more than just one num... because you'll have to use IniReadSection() to get the next increment number if you haven't already stored it in the var.

Ok, thanks for all the advice. It works

How do I append to it when I read it and get new values from the Input. Because doing what Piano Man and Smokin said doesn't work...

I'm sure you mean...

"It probably does work, I just have a poor implementation of it" ... which in turn, we would ask to see your implementation.
