IniWrite...

[layer]

this is my first time using iniwrite :"> and say i do this...

$lala= GUICtrlCreateInput ("", -1, -1)
$guiread ($lala)
iniwrite ("C:\lala.ini", "test", "test", $lala)

the first time it's ran, the ini is like this:

[section]

Key= Value

lets just say i have that... now when it writes to that same file because i run it again, it looks like this

[section]

Key= Value

[section]

Key= Value

it writes it again... is there a way to stop this?? so that lets say the value changes, it doesnt write a whole new thing, it just changes the past value?

also how would i make a hidden .ini file?

thanks a billion...

EDIT: errr, why does it work now??? so now it doesnt overwrite, but how can i make it hidden??!

FileSetAttrib ( "file pattern", "+-RASHNOT" [, recurse] )

The file pattern cannot contain spaces!

The attributes that can be modified with the function are + or -:

"R" = READONLY

"A" = ARCHIVE

"S" = SYSTEM

"H" = HIDDEN

"N" = NORMAL

"O" = OFFLINE

"T" = TEMPORARY

(Note that you cannot set the compressed/directory attributes with this function.)

*Copy paste from help.chm under file management*

*another edit, JdeB, we both covered both parts of his question, lol*

You are not writing the value but the handle...

try this:

$lala= GUICtrlCreateInput ("", -1, -1)
iniwrite ("C:\lala.ini", "test", "test", $guiread ($lala))

File hidden as in FileSetAttrib("filename","+H") ?

rofl, nice one =P but i have another question =/ .... heres my code... its for a program called LOC... the purpose of the program is to be able to put a password of the files selected... so when you double click it, an input box appears and you have to enter the passoword... so here it is..

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
GUICreate ("File LOC", 400, 300)
GUISetBkColor (0x102021)
GUISetState ()
DirCreate (@AppDataDir & "\LOC\")
$lab= GUICtrlCreateLabel ("Welcome to FileLoc... FileLoc let's you Lock your files for safe keeping", 1, 1)
GUICtrlSetColor(-1, 0x4A49FF)
$inp= GUICtrlCreateInput ("", 50, 50,"" ,"" , 0x0020)
GUICtrlSetLimit ($inp, 12, 4)
$lab2= GUICtrlCreateLabel ("Enter the password for the file you want to lock:", -1, 25)
GUICtrlSetColor(-1,0xff0000)
$lab3= GUICtrlCreateLabel ("NOTE: 12 characters is the max for passwords and 4 is the minimum.", -1, 80)
GUICtrlSetColor(-1,0xff0000)
$inp2= GUICtrlCreateInput ("", 50, 150)
$lab4= GUICtrlCreateLabel ("Enter the path including the file in it (EX: C:\doc.txt\)", -1, 125)
GUICtrlSetColor(-1,0x00ff00)
$but= GUICtrlCreateButton ("Lock file now!", 50, 200)
$lab5= GUICtrlCreateLabel ("Make sure to copy down your password!", -1, 250)
GUICtrlSetColor (-1, 0xffffff)
Func LOC ()
   $readpass= GUIRead ($inp)
   $readdir= GUIRead ($inp2)
   InIWrite (@AppDataDir & "\LOC\DirPass.ini\", "Password", "Password", $readpass)
   IniWrite (@AppDataDir & "\LOC\DirPass.ini\", "Directory", "Directory", $readdir)
   MsgBox (0, "Password is:", "Your password is:" & @LF & $readpass)
   EndFunc
   
While 1
   $get= GUIGetMsg ()
   Select
  Case $get= $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
      exitloop
   Case $get= $but
      LOC ()
      EndSelect
      WEnd

ok, everything works, but i was thinking... how am i going to make it so when you double click the input box appears? maybe i should make it only LOC Folders? and add some paremeters in the folder properties? but im a little unsure of how to do this...but that wouldn't work, because as far as i know, there is only "targets" in executable files... so im stuck on this... any suggestions? need me to tell you more detailed in what im looking for? im thinking on what i can do right now...
