IniRenameSection fails with empty section

[MrCreatoR]

I just need a confirmation (or rejection ) that this is some kind of a bug in IniReadSection - When i trying to rename the section and it's does not contain keys (just an empty [section]), the rename fails. But IniDelete for example working fine, the section been deleted.

So i supose this is a bug in IniRenameSection... or not?

Edit: typo.

MrCreatoR,

I get the same thing - IniRenameSection fails if the Section has no keys - IniDelete works as expected.

Playing around I found that you can rename the Section thus:

$sIni = @ScriptDir & "\test.ini"
IniDelete($sIni, "Section 2")
IniWriteSection($sIni, "Section Two", "")

But it does screw up the original order. :-)

Exactly.

The solution is this:

Func _IniRenameSection($sIni_File, $sSection, $sNew_Section, $iFlag=0)
    If $iFlag = 1 Then IniDelete($sIni_File, $sNew_Section)
    
    Local $sIni_Content = FileRead($sIni_File)
    If @error Then Return SetError(1, 0, 0)
    
    If $iFlag = 0 And StringRegExp($sIni_Content, "(rn|)[" & $sNew_Section & "](rn|)") Then Return SetError(2, 0, 0)
    
    $sIni_Content = StringRegExpReplace($sIni_Content, "[" & $sSection & "]", "[" & $sNew_Section & "]")
    
    Local $iEncoding = FileGetEncoding($sIni_File)
    Local $hIni_Open = FileOpen($sIni_File, $iEncoding + 2)
    FileWrite($hIni_Open, $sIni_Content)
    Return FileClose($hIni_Open)
EndFunc

But i think the original function should do it.
