Iniread doesn't return true or false (1 or 0).

If it fails it return the default value, in your case "0".

You don't use FileOpenDialog to access the ini. Just give the path to the file. IniRead will open it and read the key.

[Pain]

yes but that returns the string "0", only 0 is a number that is same as false. Try If $inivar = "0" to use the returned string.

Then you should test like this:

...
If $inivar = "0" Then
...

You see the quotes?

No problem to use FileOpenDialog to pick the file you want to try/read.

Best Regards.

Oops. Pain has been too fast!

I was trying to use FileOpenDialog to tell IniRead which file to read... maybe wrong usage. But is there another better way to do this?

$key = iniread(@scriptdir&"/setting.ini", "section", "key", "default")

As I said in the first post. You don't use FileOpenDialog with iniread. Just use iniread to get your key.

But I'm using FileOpenDialog to select which inf file I would like IniRead to read...

So that a user can browse for any inf files and choose it...i'm not using it for an .ini settings file...

I'm sorry, I misunderstood. OK, I tried the following to see if this would work, and it worked fine for me. I put in a msgbox to see if FileOpenDialog would show the path to the inf file first.

$openvar = FileOpenDialog("test", @HomeDrive, "Inf File (*.inf)", 1)
$inivar1 = IniRead($openvar, "autorun", "open", "0")
MsgBox(0, $inivar1, $openvar);returned path and the key. I made a inf file and it found it.
If @error Then
    Exit
Else
$inivar = IniRead($openvar, "autorun", "open", "0")
If $inivar = 0 Then
    MsgBox(4096,"","No such key")
Else
    MsgBox(4096,"","Key found!") 
EndIf
EndIf

Now, I coded my inf file like this:

[Autorun]

open=software.exe

Is your coded like this? you may want to check that.

[Bert]

I put the first msgbox to simply check to see if you were getting a return from the FileOpenDialog. You can remark lines 2 and 3 out if you know that part is working for you.
