comparing array to userinput

[gcue 8]

i know that INIReadsectionnames reads the ini sections and returns them to an array

im trying to get userinput for a sectioname, but if it exists i want to prompt the user whether to delete it or not

<not sure what line1 looks like so that it compares to every instance in the array>

heres what i have:

If Guictrlread($location)=(IniReadSectionNames($ini)) Then

$answer = MsgBox(262148, "PC Finder", "Location already exists, overwrite?")

If $answer = 6 Then

IniDelete($ini, $location)

ElseIf $answer = 7 Then

IniWrite($ini, $location, "test_append", "appending")

EndIf

Else

IniWrite($ini, $location, "test_add", "adding")

EndIf

Maybe something like this

$locs = IniReadSection($ini, "LOCATIONS");might already be done somewhere
$match = 0
$selLoc = GUICtrlRead($location);read the location from the input or edit?

For $i = 1 To $locs[0][0];see if $seLoc already in "LOCATIONS" section
    If $seLoc = $locs[$i][1] Then
        $match = $i
        ExitLoop
    EndIf
Next

If $match > 0 Then
    $answer = MsgBox(262148, "PC Finder", "Location already exists, overwrite?")
    If $answer = 6 Then
        IniDelete($ini, "LOCATIONS", $selLoc)
        $match = 0
    ;not sure why delete it if you are going to write it again
    EndIf
EndIf

If $match = 0 Then
    IniWrite($ini, "LOCATIONS", $selLoc, $SelLoC & "_ASSETS")
EndIf

$array=IniReadSectionNames($ini)
for $i=1 to $array[0]
    If Guictrlread($location)=$array[$i] Then
        $answer = MsgBox(262148, "PC Finder", "Location already exists, overwrite?")
        If $answer = 6 Then
            IniDelete($ini, $location)

            IniWrite($ini, $location, "test_append", "appending")
        EndIf
    Else
Next
IniWrite($ini, $location, "test_add", "adding")

running this through SciTE and i keep getting "missing endif statement" - cant see where or why?!

Func Location_Check()
$LOCS=IniReadSectionNames($ini)
For $i=1 to $LOCS[0]
    If Guictrlread($location)=$LOCS[$i] Then
        $answer = MsgBox(262148, "PC Finder", "Location already exists, overwrite?")
        If $answer = 6 Then
            IniDelete($ini, $location)
            IniWrite($ini, $location, "test_replace", "replacing")
        ElseIf $answer = 7 Then
            IniWrite($ini, $location, "test_append", "appending")
        EndIf
    Else
       IniWrite($ini, $location, "test_add", "adding")
Next
EndIf
ShellExecute($ini)
EndFunc

tried rebooting.. windows explorer had died previously.. so i thought maybe that was it..

ran it through scite - still same prob..

please tell me its not obvious.. the more i look at it the more frustrated i get

Looks like your final EndIf statement is outside your For Next loop... that would cause the "missing endif" error if the "If" begins inside the loop... they're overlapping.
