Copying and pasting text

[AustrianOak]

How do I copy text from an ini file and paste it into an input box. I have no idea where to start and I already looked in the helpfile.

Maybe I didn't lok well enough.

I know I can use IniRead to get whatever value I want but how can I paste that value in an input.

Copy it then paste it into the input box

To copy press {CTRL}{c} from the ini file using notepad. Then when the input box appears press {CTRL}{v} to get it into the box.

Something along those lines, you could use ClipPut instead of ctrl-c, then you can use ctrl-v

I recommend you to read on the User Defined Function Reference under Clipboard Management to find a way to get a understanding or it else to write them to a blank file save the file and recall the file whenever you want that thing again

Use IniRead() to get the value and then GUICtrlSetData() if your inputbox is created with AutoIt or use ControlSend()/ControlSetText() if it's from another application. Edited June 17, 2008 by AdmiralAlkex

Yeah, I think you're looking more for file reading functions rather than copying/pasting.

Yeah, I think you're looking more for file reading functions rather than copying/pasting.

What about using a variable like it says in the help file?

#include <EditConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

$var0 = IniRead("C:\myfile.ini", "sectionname", "key0", "NotFound")
$var1 = IniRead("C:\myfile.ini", "sectionname", "key1", "NotFound")
$var2 = IniRead("C:\myfile.ini", "sectionname", "key2", "NotFound")


$Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 186, 145, 193, 125)
$Input1 = GUICtrlCreateInput($var0, 32, 32, 121, 21)
$Input2 = GUICtrlCreateInput($var1, 32, 64, 121, 21)
$Input3 = GUICtrlCreateInput($var2, 32, 96, 121, 21)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)


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

    EndSwitch
WEnd

Sorry, I'd put it into an array, but I actually opened this topic because I thought I might find an answer to the problem with ini array's that I'm having

As far as copying and pasting goes, for my problem, it is solved. I used ClipPut in combinations with Send("^v")
