Array problem

[Dura]

I have a problem with a function and array, it worked for a while and then stoped and now gives me: Subscript used with non-Array variable

I've looked at this code over and over now and i must miss something so i'll post it and see if someone can help me.

Func _CountIni()
    Local $ini = @ScriptDir & "\settings.ini"
    Local $counter = 0
    If Not @error Then
        $sections = IniReadSectionNames($ini)
        For $i = 1 To $sections[0]
            $section = IniReadSection($ini, $sections[$i])
            $counter = $counter + $section[0][0]
        Next
    EndIf
    Return $counter
EndFunc

I get:

Subscript used with non-Array variable

$counter = $counter + $section[0][0]

$counter = $counter + $section^ ERROR

IniReadSection() is returning 2D array, im blind here please give me some pointers

[JFee]

it should be

$counter = $counter + $section[0]

Why do you say it is returning a 2D array?

Also, your counter doesn't make sense. Each time it loops through add the number of sections there are? If you have 5 sections the counter will go 0 5 10 15 20...

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

Total values under that section is element[0][0]

my function do just as you say it counts the total of values in the ini over all sections

This should make it more logical:

Func _CountIni()
    Local $ini = @ScriptDir & "\settings.ini"
    Local $counter = 0
    If Not @error Then
        $sections = IniReadSectionNames($ini)
        For $i = 1 To $sections[0]
            $values = IniReadSection($ini, $sections[$i])
            $counter = $counter + $values[0][0]
        Next
    EndIf
    Return $counter
EndFunc

Edit:

Found my problem , IniReadSection() returns error hence not giving array

Sorry I read the original code you posted wrong But yeah, works fine for me with a dummy INI, I bet your INI is messed up

[Dura]

yeah found the fault, had one section with no values, really need to get better at error management =)
