Having Problem with Inetget, iniread, and msgbox

[sumkid]

What i want this to do is download the settings.ini file so that it can read what I want the message box to say. so this is what it should do (in order)

1. Download settings.ini

2. if settings.ini reads "enable=1" then it will continue

3. then if settings.ini reads "command1=msg" then it will make a msgbox with the title being whatever i set it as in the settings.ini and same with the msgbox text.

here is my code. when i execute it, it doesnt appear to do anything. any help?

$Getit = InetGet ( "http://mysubdomain.mywebhost.com/settings.ini", "settings.ini" )
$enable = IniRead ( $Getit, "settings", "enable", 1 )
$command1 = IniRead ( $Getit, "settings", "command1", 1 )
$msgtitle = IniRead ( $Getit, "msg", "msgtitle", 1 )
$msgtext = IniRead ( $Getit, "msg", "msgtext", 1 )




While 1
Sleep (10000)
If $enable = 1 Then
    If $command1 = "msg" Then
        MsgBox ( 1, $msgtitle, $msgtext )
    EndIf
EndIf
Sleep (35000)
Exit
WEnd

Pls refrain from bumping a thread within a day. Just shows impatience and makes me and many other ignore it.

The following code works w/o issue for me:

$INI = @ScriptDir&"\settings.ini"
InetGet("http://mysubdomain.mywebhost.com/settings.ini", "settings.ini", 0, 0)
$enable = IniRead($ini, "settings", "enable", 0)
$command1 = IniRead($ini, "settings", "command1", 1)
$msgtitle = IniRead($ini, "msg", "msgtitle", 1 )
$msgtext = IniRead($ini, "msg", "msgtext", 1 )

if $enable = 1 and $command1 = 1 Then
    MsgBox(0, $msgtitle, $msgtext)
Else
    ConsoleWrite("nope" & @CRLF)
EndIf

Mind you, you need to have your settings.ini written properly:

[settings]
enable=1
command=1

[msg]
msgtitle=This is a test
msgtext=This is the text

Hope that helps
