You want to read the ini into a variable, so

$var = IniRead()

That way, your $var will be whatever it picked up from you INI file.

because by just doing this:

$var = "hi"

you are already defining $var as 'hi"

and you are doing nothing with

IniRead("my brain.ini", "ty", $var, "????")

^all you are doing there is reading the file, but not doing anythign with it

$var = IniRead("my brain.ini", "ty","hi", "????")

although, if you DID mean to use $var as your section, you still need to read it to a variable

$var = hi
$var2 = IniRead("my brain.ini", "ty", $var, "????")

ok here is my script

CODE

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

#include <EditConstants.au3>

$Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 325, 343, 269, 155)

$a = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 16, 16, 289, 233)

$b = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 16, 256, 201, 73)

$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button1", 232, 264, 73, 65, 0)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1

$nMsg = GUIGetMsg()

If $nMsg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then

Exit

EndIf

$msnb = ControlSetText("7H3 - ", "", "RichEdit20W2", GUICtrlRead($)

If $nMsg = $Button1 Then

ControlSetText("7H3 -", "", "RichEdit20W1", "")

ControlClick("7H3 - ", "", "Button1")

GUICtrlSetData($b, "")

sleep(7000)

$msn = ControlGetText("7H3 - ", "", "RichEdit20W1")

GUICtrlSetData($a, $msn)

$string = StringSplit($msn, @CRLF)

sleep(500)

If $string[0] >= 9 Then

tooltip($string[9])

$ini = IniRead(@scriptdir & "/my brain.ini", "tv", $string[9], "????")

$msnb = ControlSetText("7H3 - ", "", "RichEdit20W2", $ini)

GUICtrlSetData($b, $ini)

ControlClick("7H3 - ", "", "Button1")

GUICtrlSetData($b, "")

Wrong slash!

[7h331337]

i changed the / to \ still not working

[bogQ]

i changed the / to \ still not working

can you pls tell whats not working

its not reading ini secrot, its not setting data, its not reading data?

[TehWhale]

Did some more testing, and it's because when you have your script, when you click the button, it clears the text from that box, and later reads it, and if its greater than or equal to 9 then it writes, but since the box is cleared, it is 0 so it writes nothing!

[7h331337]

i changed it to

CODE

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

#include <EditConstants.au3>

$Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 325, 343, 269, 155)

$a = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 16, 16, 289, 233)

$b = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 16, 256, 201, 73)

$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button1", 232, 264, 73, 65, 0)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1

$nMsg = GUIGetMsg()

If $nMsg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then

Exit

EndIf

$msnb = ControlSetText("7H3 - ", "", "RichEdit20W2", GUICtrlRead($)

If $nMsg = $Button1 Then

ControlClick("7H3 - ", "", "Button1")

GUICtrlSetData($b, "")

sleep(7000)

$msn = ControlGetText("7H3 - ", "", "RichEdit20W1")

GUICtrlSetData($a, $msn)

$string = StringSplit($msn, @CRLF)

ControlSetText("7H3 -", "", "RichEdit20W1", "")

If $string[0] >= 9 Then

tooltip($string[9])

GUICtrlSetData($b, $ini)

ControlClick("7H3 - ", "", "Button1")

EndIf

still wont work by the way its for msn

[7h331337]

i figured it out u wont believe how stupid it was

in named my ini mybrain.ini but on the script i called it my brain.ini

big thanks to all that helped

[Vindicator209]

try removing the space between my and brain, mayby use an underscore my_brain.ini

I've experienced problems with space before, and it's the only thing I can think of at this point

set up "check points" by placing tooltipsor msgboxes here and there to see where the script starts to fail, perhaps it is MSN that is the problem?

EDIt: damn, you beat me to your own answer, haha
