IniReadSection


Recommended Posts

I've got different keys in my .ini that are actually the names of buddies. They keys values are the tables the buddy is currently sitting at. Also appended to the tables are keys, so it could look like this for example:

[OnlineBuddies]
Nemo=Table1;Table2;Table3;~2-3-08
Ando=Table4;Table5;Table6;~2-3-08

I have a listview that I want each date to appear in a certain column which I can do if I specify an exact keyname to read, but I can't. And it's because I want ALL the dates from ALL the buddies to appear in the listview. So I created a For Loop so I can do it for each buddy.

$readsection = IniReadSection("C:\buddies.ini", "OnlineBuddies")
If IsArray($readsection) Then
     For $w In $readsection[0][0]
          $sIni = IniRead("C:\buddies.ini", "OnlineBuddies", $readsection[$w][0], "")
          MsgBox(0, "", $readsection[$w][0])
      $var0 = StringSplit($sIni, "~")
      $var1 = StringSplit($sIni, ";")
      $date_ = StringTrimLeft($var1[UBound($var1)-1], 1)
Next
For $value In $var0
    $dateitems = _GUICtrlListViewSetItemText($nListview, 0, 2, $date_); Sets the date from the INI file
Next
EndIf

When I check what each key is, if I have two keys in there, it will return the name of the first key twice, same if I have three keys, it will return the name of the first key three times.

What's wrong with my loop?

$readsection[$w][0] = Key

$readsection[$w][1] = Value

I don't see anywhere that you change the second dimension.

Okay I reread the question and I don't understand it. What I'm saying is you are just getting keys your not getting any values.

I'm confusing you and myself. :) I'm getting the keys because I want to read all of them and at the same time write to them.

But the again, I would have to get the values after I get the key then read it. Maybe it would be easier if I just asked how to I read all keys in a section and for each one write all the data into a listview?

When you do an IniReadSection it returns the Keys And the Values, as I explained the 2D Array.

Run this

$readsection = IniReadSection("C:\buddies.ini", "OnlineBuddies")
If IsArray($readsection) Then
     For $w In $readsection[0][0]
          MsgBox(0, "", 'Key: ' & $readsection[$w][0] & @CRLF & 'Value: ' & $readsection[$w][1])
      $var0 = StringSplit($readsection[$w][1], "~")
      $var1 = StringSplit($readsection[$w][1], ";")
      $date_ = StringTrimLeft($var1[UBound($var1)-1], 1)
Next
For $value In $var0
    $dateitems = _GUICtrlListViewSetItemText($nListview, 0, 2, $date_); Sets the date from the INI file
Next
EndIf

I'm getting an error on the For In line with readsection[0][0]. It says variable must be a type of 'object'? Edited by FireLordZi

Now it says For statement is badly formatted.

$readsection = IniReadSection("C:\buddies.ini", "OnlineBuddies")
If IsArray($readsection) Then
     For $w To $readsection[0][0]
          MsgBox(0, "", 'Key: ' & $readsection[$w][0] & @CRLF & 'Value: ' & $readsection[$w][1])
      $var0 = StringSplit($readsection[$w][1], "~")
      $var1 = StringSplit($readsection[$w][1], ";")
      $date_ = StringTrimLeft($var1[UBound($var1)-1], 1)
Next
For $value To $var0
    $dateitems = _GUICtrlListViewSetItemText($nListview, 0, 2, $date_); Sets the date from the INI file
Next
EndIf

Same error... :)

Shouldn't there be a '= 1' after the For $w?

Here look at this

Global $Text
$Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 633, 447, 193, 125)
$ListView1 = GUICtrlCreateListView("Tables|Date", 56, 32, 417, 273)
$readsection = IniReadSection(@DesktopDir & '\some.ini', "OnlineBuddies")

If IsArray($readsection) Then
     For $w = 1 To $readsection[0][0]
      $Date = StringSplit($readsection[$w][1], "~")
      $Tables = StringSplit($Date[1], ";")
    For $i = 1 To UBound($Tables) - 1
          $Text &= $Tables[$i] & ','
      Next
      GUICtrlCreateListViewItem(StringTrimRight($Text,2) & '|' & $Date[2],$ListView1)
      $Text = ''
  Next
  EndIf
  
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit

    EndSwitch
WEnd

Okay what are you trying to do in the first place because if this is your complete code then I have no idea what your doing. And why you are using for loops for the last part?

$var0 has to be a NUMBER as well. If $Var0 returns a string or something the last for loop won't do anything. Even though the last for loop all it is doing is setting the same exact text over and over

I took out the second For loop, I thought about what you said and it wasn't needed. $var0 is a string, it is the value to the key currently being read.

Again, I'm trying somehow to get this code to read all sections, starting with the first one, write the value into a listview, and do the same for the second one and for all of them.

Just a little touchup. It sets the value for the first key but not for the second:

If IsArray($readsection) Then
    For $w = 1 To $readsection[0][0]
        MsgBox(0, "", 'Key: ' & $readsection[$w][0] & @CRLF & 'Value: ' & $readsection[$w][1])
        $var0 = StringSplit($readsection[$w][1], "~")
        $var1 = StringSplit($readsection[$w][1], ";")
        $date_ = StringTrimLeft($var1[UBound($var1)-1], 1)
        $dateitems = _GUICtrlListViewSetItemText($nListview, 0, 2, $date_); Sets the date from the INI file
    Next
EndIf

        $dateitems = _GUICtrlListViewSetItemText($nListview, 0, 2, $date_); Sets the date from the INI file
    Next
EndIf

because you aren't changing where it is setting.

I recommend using GuiCtrlCreateListViewItem.

I'm getting an error at line 14 saying Array variable has incorrect number of subscripts or subscript dimension range exceeded.
