Readini, but only the first letter.

[Doxie]

Hi,

I use Readini to get some info, but the value is so long, i only need the first letter in the value, is that possible?

For example:

IniRead($sFile,"Software Inventory","MydocumentsPath","")

The value is:

C:\Documents and Settings\YPX5976\My Documents

or

D:\Documents and Settings\YPX5976\My Documents

or in sometimes

H:\Documents and Settings\YPX5976\My Documents

Can i make the iniread to get only the first so the value would be, C, D or H.

Thanks in advance

Read the whole value, then use StringLeft to extract the first letter.

Thanks, it was so easy, but also so far away (for me)

Another problem i got....

When i import data using Iniread and the value got a space in it, it does not import the space, instead it import " " without the ".

This is irretating, cause i import the data directly to excel sheet, and need to make calculations. But excel is not recognize the value as a number.

If i import 32 433 it looks like 32 433

(I can see that when i look in the excel built in script editor)

Is there anyway i can use iniread, to import just numbers???

Thanks in advance

Well, Hmm..... put it into an array?

$i = IniRead ($file, $section, $key, $default)
stringsplit($i, " ")

If line = 32 433

$i[1] = 32

$i[2] = 433

You could then filewrite or send it

Filewrite($file, $i[1] & " " & $i[2])
; or you could send
WinActivate($window)
send($i[1] & " " & $i[2])

That's just a simple solution...I'm sure there's more complex ones out there.

Edit:Added "send"

StringStripWS() + Number()?

Thanks for the fast reply, but i made the calculation in AutoIt, before i import it to excel. It works great.

$usedd = ($dsize-$dfree)
        If $usedd < $cfree Then
            $compa = ("Yes")
                Else
            $compa = ("No")
        EndIf

What i am doing is, it checks if the used space on D: is bigger then the free space on C:

We are about to migrate to XP, and one of our script does only work if it can create a image of D: on C:

Wich then means, it need enough space.
