Hey,

I was wondering whether i could create a application that can read data from a ini and display it onscreen - and then in the menu, say, edit that ini or create a new one?

Thanks,

Folker.

IniRead() and IniWrite() should do it.

IniRead() and IniWrite() should do it.

Could you provide an example of where INIRead() and Iniwrite() are used?

Thanks,

Folker.

Remember to always use the helpfile.

How can i make INI files?

[Pain]

Did you even bother to click on the links?

IniWrite:

If file does not exist, it is created.

This one will create a ini file with the name myfile.ini in C:\Temp\ and write some data to it.

IniWrite("C:\Temp\myfile.ini", "section2", "key", "this is a new value")

IniWrite("C:\Temp\myfile.ini", "section2", "key", "this is a new value")

Ok, sorry.

I have made the ini file and want to load it from a FileOpenDialog command, so i open it, but now i want to see the ini file, i tried this:

$label = IniRead("" & $open,"SECTION1","name")

and

$label = IniRead( $open,"SECTION1","name")

and

$label = IniRead(& $open,"SECTION1","name")

but they all gave me errors..

how would i click the open button and then it displays the text on the gui, in say, a label?

Thanks,

Folker.

To modify a control (apply data to it) use the GUICtrlSetData Func. Check the helpfile.

;$label = GUICtrlCreateLabel......
GUICtrlSetData($label,"message here")

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

GUICreate("") 

$select = GUICtrlCreateButton("Open file", 50, 50)
$label = GUICtrlCreateLabel("test", 150, 100)
GUISetState (@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    
    If $msg = $select Then 
        $file = FileOpenDialog("Select a file.", @DesktopDir & "\", "INI (*.ini)")
        $data = IniRead($file, "section2", "key", "NotFound"); section and key have to be predefined.
        GUICtrlSetData($label, $data)
    EndIf   
    If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop
Wend

I do this, but it displays NotFound from the $data command in the gui. i want it to display the data from the ini file.

Thanks,

; section and key have to be predefined.

Make sure the section name and key are correct.

[sectionName]

Key=Value

[Folker]

Make sure the section name and key are correct.

[sectionName]

Key=Value

Im trying to load it so that i can open one ini file and it displays the data, and then i can load another INI file and it will display diffrent data.

Say im loading:

test1.ini

and

test2.ini

i want to load test1 first using the opendialog so it displays say, hello (predefined in the ini already created) and then use opendialog again to open test2, which would say, hey! (also predefined in a diffrent ini file.)

is there a way to do this?

You got the example above.

My inifile:

[Message]
first=hey

The iniread part:

$data = IniRead($file, "Message", "first", "NotFound")
