New Line in .ini file


Recommended Posts

How do I read after the last key in an ini and then go to the next line after the key so I can continue writing my ini keys and values. I want it to look like this:

[section]
Key=1,2,3
NewKey=4,5,6

            First off your example hows 2 sections 1 which is unused.  I'm thinking that was just a mistake in the post and you were really trying to create a code box.  To create an entry you just do another IniWrite()  Not that if you choose No to the first Msg boxbelow then A new Section and a new Key are created
$Ini= @ScriptDir & "\my.ini"
If FileExists($Ini) Then FileDelete($Ini);; You will not likely be using this line in actual code
IniWrite($Ini, "Section", "Key", "1,2,3")
If MsgBox ( 36, 'TEST', 'Are you ready to create the NewKey entry?') = 6 Then
   IniWrite($Ini, "Section", "NewKey", "4,5,6")
Else
   IniWrite($Ini, "Section2", "ThirdKey", "7,8,9")
   MsgBox ( 64, 'TEST', 'You chose No in the last msgbox so a ThirdKey entry was created in a new section instead.', 2)
EndIf

It will go to the next line all by itself..

But to find the information in the INI you'll need a fiarly simple loop for read sections but to read the whole INI its a little more complex

This is an example of a whole INI being read to a treeview, which I don't think you will really understand

#NoTrayIcon
DllCall("uxtheme.dll", "none", "SetThemeAppProperties", "int", 0)  ;calls the classic theme
#include <guitreeview.au3>
#include <guiconstants.au3>
Global $Skin_bk = 0x00000
Global $Skin_txt = 0x00ffcc
#Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=
Global $Form1 = GUICreate("To Do", 414, 268, -1, -1, $WS_SIZEBOX, $WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW)
Global $TreeView = GUICtrlCreateTreeView(0, 0, 409, 245)
GUISetBkColor($skin_bk)
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1,$Skin_bk)
GuiCtrlSetColor(-1,$Skin_txt)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
#EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ###
Ini_To_Treeview(@ScriptDir & '\TO_DO.ini',$treeview)
For $i = 0 to 20000
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    EndSwitch
Next

    Func Ini_TO_Treeview($ld_val, $Treeview1, $Progress = '0' )
    _GUICtrlTreeViewDeleteAllItems( $TreeView1 )
    GuiCtrlSetState( $Treeview1, $GUI_Show )
    Global $secs = IniReadSectionNames( $ld_val )
    If IsArray( $secs ) Then
    If $progress = '1' then ProgressOn( "Reading INI 2 Treeview", "Working..." )
    $total = $secs[0]
    Dim $a[999]
    For $i = 1 to $secs[0]-1 step 1
        $a[$i] = GUICtrlCreateTreeViewItem( $secs[$i], $TreeView1 )
        _GUICtrlTreeViewSetIcon( $treeview, -1, 'C:\windows\system32\shell32.dll', 165 )
        $b = IniReadSection( $ld_val, $secs[$i] )
        If @error <> 1 Then
        For $c = 1 to $b[0][0] step 1
            GUICtrlCreateTreeViewItem( $b[$c][1], $a[$i] )
            _GUICtrlTreeViewSetIcon( $treeview, -1, 'C:\windows\system32\shell32.dll', 110 )
        Next
        Endif
    If $progress = '1' then ProgressSet( (($i/$total)*100)-1, "Reading INI 2 Treeview", "Placing into a Treeview" )
    Next
    Endif
    ProgressOff()
    EndFunc

This will only work in 3.2.8.0

But if you just want to read a section like all data under [section_name] then you need to look at the help file under IniReadSection PM me if you still have trouble after that
