IniWrite Problem(Solved)

[lordicast]

[OLD]

Why wont this work? my head hurts.

IniWrite("C:\Temp\myfile.ini", "section2", "key", @username @MON @MDAY @MIN)

[NEW]

IniWrite("C:\log.ini", "Greating", "Hi","@Username&"Welcome in to the room")

How do i make it so that each time this ini file is written to it appears on the next line without overwriting?

Is that the reason for posting in the wrong forum ?

IniWrite("C:\Temp\myfile.ini", "section2", "key", @username @MON @MDAY @MIN)

You need to use an & to concatenate the 4 macro values

No the reason was that i was searching other topics in Iniwrite and while on one that was in general Help i hit new topic

BTW

IniWrite("C:\Temp\myfile.ini", "section2", "key", @username& @MON& @MDAY& @MIN&)

doesnt work either

Skip the last &

Now the hard part is adding text in between like

IniWrite("C:\Temp\myfile.ini", "section2", "key", @username& "logged in on" @MON& "/"@MDAY& /@YEAR& "at" @HOUR& ":" @MIN)

Guess you're missing the obvious.

You were told to add an ampersand between the strings/macro's you were trying to concatenate the strings together.

So any string, you want to merge:

$sString1 = "I " & "am " & "a " & "string."

$sString2 = "Your username: " & @UserName & " , is this correct?"
MsgBox(64, "info", $sString1 & @CRLF & $sString2)

IniWrite("C:\log.ini", "Greating", "Hi","@Username&"Welcome in to the room")

How do i make it so that each time this ini file is written to it appears on the next line without overwriting?

You can't write your ini with the same values in the key in one section... You can count the values ($val = IniReadSection ( "filename", "section" ), the total will be $val[0][0]) then write the key with a number +1 ($total += $val[0][0]). Your " at the start of the value, should not be there, unless you have Opt ("ExpandVarStrings", 1) and the " in the middle removed. We won't go into that. In the end, your code where you write the key should look something like:

IniWrite("C:\log.ini", "Greating", "Hi" & $total, @Username & "Welcome in to the room")

Just use what I suggested, and see how you go
