OMG no one knows it?

Do some one know if it can be done with autoit?

(if no one answers, i can suppose that i cant be done with autoit.

Anything can be done with AutoIt. It's just either no-one has seen your topic, or is just a too simple question, they aren't answering.

IniReadSection, can be used to find the number of things, and then change that into a int.

[au3scr]

but IniReadSection

returns always 1, how i get other variables?

It is not written in help

[d2addict4]

It returns an array.

IniReadSection

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Reads all key/value pairs from a section in a standard format .ini file.

IniReadSection ( "filename", "section" )

Parameters

filename The filename of the .ini file.

section The section name in the .ini file.

Return Value

Success: Returns a 2 dimensional array where element[n][0] is the key and element[n][1] is the value.

Failure: Sets @error=1 if unable to read the section (The INI file may not exist or the section may not exist)

Remarks

A standard ini file looks like:

[sectionName]

Key=Value

The number of elements returned will be in $result[0][0]. If an @error occurs, no array is created.

Only the first 32767 chars are taken in account in an section due to Win9x compatibility.

Example

$var = IniReadSection("C:\Temp\myfile.ini", "section2")

If @error Then

MsgBox(4096, "", "Error occurred, probably no INI file.")

Else

For $i = 1 To $var[0][0]

MsgBox(4096, "", "Key: " & $var[$i][0] & @CRLF & "Value: " & $var[$i][1])

Next

EndIf

I cant get this example work.

It returns

Error occurred, probably no INI file.

or

my modified version returns

Code please ... and ini file structure

You get that error there because there is no such array$var[0][0] : IniReadSection failed and no array was created.

Without code I can't see how somebody could help.
