[shay]

Hi

i try to add new "key+value" to INI file

i need to add verbose = 5

using the command : IniWrite ( "test.ini", "control", "verbose", "5" )

i get line that look like that: verbose=5

but i need [space] after the word and after the = (verbose = 5)

without the space my software wont recognize the line.

Hi,

try this, when you're finish to add new key+values

Local $s = FileRead("test.ini")
$s = StringRegExpReplace($s, "(.*)=(.*)", "$1 = $2")
ConsoleWrite($s)
FileWrite("test.ini", $s)

sorry for my english, i'm french

What about "verbose " and " 5" ?

i try that but i got [sPACE] only before the 5

verbose= 5

[GaRydelaMer]

No pb

change pattern in the rex expression

$s = StringRegExpReplace($s, "(.*)=(.*)", "$1= $2")

still no [sPACE]

my bad, its work ok!!

but it add [sPACE] to all the other "keys" in my INI file

how can i add it only to this specific line

[GaRydelaMer]

Or more simply

; here for one
; Why you noy use this ??
Local $key = "verbose", $val = 5
IniWrite("test.ini", "control", $key, " " & $val)


; here for all 
;Or if you run more one time this reqexp change to:
Local $s = FileRead("test.ini")
$s = StringRegExpReplace($s, "(\w*)(\s*)=(\s*)(\w*)", "$1= $4")

;for specific keys, but in all section with the same key
Local $key = "verbose"
$s = StringRegExpReplace($s, "(" & $ key & ")(\s*)=(\s*)(\w*)", "$1= $4")



ConsoleWrite($s)
FileDelete("test.ini"); delete the file before rewriting because filewrite add line(s) at the end of file
FileWrite("test.ini", $s)

i try this with no luck

still "verbose= 5" (no space)

Local $key = "verbose", $val = 5

IniWrite("test.ini", "control", $key, " " & $val)

Local $key = "verbose"

$s = StringRegExpReplace($s, "(" & $key & ")(\s*)=(\s*)(\w*)", "$1= $4")

ConsoleWrite($s)

FileDelete("test.ini")

FileWrite("test.ini", $s)

can you pleas explain me what is the different from the firs paragraph?

i use:

IniWrite ( "filename", "section", "key", "value" )

[GaRydelaMer]

Hi,

for explain:

you use :

IniWrite ( "filename", "section", "key", "value" )

and you ask for write value Key= Value

"=[space]value"

but standart INIwrite function , you obtain

Key=value

I suggest to use Regexp for rewrite you're Inifile:

$s = StringRegExpReplace($s, "(\w*)(\s*)=(\s*)(\w*)", "$1= $4")

with this regexp you're file is completely rewriten for all key and value

key= value

And you ask again to write only one value

Local $key = "verbose", $val = 5
IniWrite("test.ini", "control", $key, " " & $val)
; or
IniWrite ( "filename", "section", "key", " " & "value" )

for me it's the better solution, for one value

For more explain write you're code here

Excuse me for my english

[shay]

Hi

thank you for the explanation,

its help me better understand it.

i try both :

Local $key = "verbose", $val = 5
IniWrite("test.ini", "control", $key, " " & $val)

and

IniWrite ( "filename", "section", "key", " " & "value" )

i`m getting section=[space]value

i need section[space]=[space]value

FileWrite("test.ini", $s)

Thanks to GaRydelaMer for his StringRegExp... and of course the general answer

Cheers,

You might get away with this:

$key = "verbose"
$val = 5
IniWrite("test.ini", "control", $key & Chr(160), " " & $val)

[ForexGG]

YES!!! it work!

thenk you all

this forum is great!

it's still not working. There is no space in front of the = sign.

I need the same solution.

$key = "verbose"
$val = 5
IniWrite("test.ini", "control", $key & Chr(160), " " & $val)

output:

[control]

verbose= 5

I need:

[control]

verbose = 5

someone please help!

[Aceguy]

$key = "verbose"
$val = 5
IniWrite("test.ini", "control", $key & Chr(160), " " & $val)

works for me!

try deleting the inifile, and make it create a new one

[Proph]

$val = 5
IniWrite("test.ini", "control", $key & Chr(160), " " & $val)

I actually almost thought you guys came up with a simple method for this. I had been looking for a way to do this in the past but was not successful. I ended up having to code a custom func to fix it. I don't have that func anymore though.

The problem with this method is that using Chr(160) will actually create a key with what looks like a regular space but is actually recognized as a different character in iniread. So whenever you need to iniread that key you have to make sure you also add the Chr(160) in your iniread command.

For instance do this:

IniWrite("test.ini", "control", $key & Chr(160), " " & $val)
IniWrite("test.ini", "control", $key, " " & $val)

You will notice it will write:

[control]
YourKey = YourValue
YourKey= YourValue
