Vegar Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Hello I've have made a script that records how long the script have been running... but i want it to start from where it ended last time, even if i restart the computer... and i wanted to start learning to use INI files, and i think the explainasion in the help file was not to much of help.. so could someone explain to me how i use .INI files.. (How i make one, read one, and so on....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valuater Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 just because.. Global $ini_File = @ScriptDir & "\My.ini" Global $Time_Keep = "" $Wait = 5 ; seconds If not FileExists($ini_File) Then IniWrite($ini_File, "History", "Timer", "") Else $Time_Keep = IniRead($ini_File, "History", "Timer", "") EndIf $begin = TimerInit() While 1 Sleep(500) $Test_Time = Int(TimerDiff($begin) / 1000) ToolTip( $Test_Time + $Time_Keep , 20, 20) If $Test_Time >= $Wait Then IniWrite($ini_File, "History", "Timer", $Test_Time + $Time_Keep ) Exit EndIf WEnd 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaRam Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 When your script ends, this fragment should run: $IniFile = StringRegExpReplace(@ScriptName, "\.au3|\.exe$", '') & '.Ini' ; Build your own time fragment $LastTime = @YEAR & @MON & @MDAY & "|" & @HOUR & ":" & @MIN & ":" & @SEC IniWrite($IniFile, "LastRunEnd", @UserName, $LastTime) When your script starts, this can be read back: $LastTime = IniRead($IniFile, "LastRunEnd", @UserName, "") If StringLen($LastTime) > 0 Then ; You have Saved Run End Date/Time ; Do whatever... EndIfThis is presuming $IniFile has been defined (as in first code fragment) I notice Valuater has posted more relevant code. Your call Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenCan Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 and this one will do it too: GreenCan ; startup with a new Timer.ini with some stuff in it If Not FileExists(@ScriptDir & "\Timer.ini") Then Create_ini() ; read the ini file $Timer = IniRead (@ScriptDir & "\Timer.ini", "Global", "Timer_seconds", 0) ConsoleWrite("Timer on start : " & $Timer & @cr) $begin = TimerInit() ; initiate the stopwatch ; do your stuff here msgbox(0,"","press ok to stop") $Accumulated_time = (TimerDiff($begin)/1000) + $Timer ; stopwatch ConsoleWrite("Accumulated time: " & $Accumulated_time & @CR) $result = IniWrite(@ScriptDir & "\Timer.ini", "Global", "Timer_seconds", $Accumulated_time ) If $result = 0 Then msgbox(0,"Error","INI File not accessible") EndIf ; new content $Timer = IniRead (@ScriptDir & "\Timer.ini", "Global", "Timer_seconds", 0) ConsoleWrite("new ini content: " & $Timer & @CR) Func Create_ini() IniWrite(@ScriptDir & "\Timer.ini", "Global", "Timer_seconds", 0) Return EndFunc ;==>Create_ini Contributions CheckUpdate - SelfUpdating script ------- Self updating script Dynamic input validation ------------------- Use a Input masks can make your life easier and Validation can be as simple MsgBox with CountDown ------------------- MsgBox with visual countdown Display Multiline text cells in ListView ---- Example of pop-up or ToolTip for multiline text items in ListView Presentation Manager ---------------------- Program to display and refresh different Border-less GUI's on a Display (large screen TV) USB Drive Tools ------------------------------ Tool to help you with your USB drive management Input Period udf ------------------------------ GUI for a period input Excel ColorPicker ---------------------------- Color pickup tool will allow you to select a color from the standard Excel color palette Excel Chart UDF ----------------------------- Collaboration project with water GetDateInString ------------------------------ Find date/time in a string using a date format notation like DD Mon YYYY hh:mm TaskListAllDetailed --------------------------- List All Scheduled Tasks Computer Info --------------------------------- A collection of information for helpdesk Shared memory Demo ----------------------- Demo: Two applications communicate with each other through means of a memory share (using Nomad function, 32bit only) Universal Date Format Conversion -------- Universal date converter from your PC local date format to any format Disable Windows DetailsPane -------------- Disable Windows Explorer Details Pane Oracle SQL Report Generator ------------- Oracle Report generator using SQL SQLite Report Generator ------------------- SQLite Report generator using SQL SQLite ListView and BLOB demo ---------- Demo: shows how binary (image) objects can be recognized natively in a database BLOB field DSN-Less Database connection demo --- Demo: ActiveX Data Objects DSN-Less Database access Animated animals ----------------------------- Fun: Moving animated objects Perforated image in GUI --------------------- Fun: Perforate your image with image objects UEZ's Perforator major update ------------- Fun: Pro version of Perforator by UEZ Visual Crop Tool (GUI) ----------------------- Easy to use Visual Image Crop tool Visual Image effect (GUI) -------------------- Visually apply effects on an image Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
