Read ini file use as Menuitem

[Jat421]

Hello, I am trying to change a script to take menu items from an ini file and having some issues

$aArray = IniReadSection("test.ini","test")
 
 If not @error Then
   For $i = 1 To $aArray[0][0]
      MsgBox("Test","", "Key: " & $aArray[$i][0] & @CRLF & "Value: " & $aArray[$i][1])
   Next
   EndIf

And I am trying to use the read ini file in the array but getting error

 

Array variable has incorrect number of subscripts or subscript dimension range exceeded.:

 

Here is where I am trying to use the array in GUI

$Item1 = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem($aArray[$i][1],$Menu)

$item1 is later used in an while loop to check what is selected from the menu.

 try changing

 

   For $i = 1 To $aArray[0][0]

 

to

 

   For $i = 1 To $aArray[0]

possy_99,

From the Help file for IniReadSection:

 

Return Value

Success: a 2 dimensional array

So your suggestion to use 1D array syntax is completely nonsensical.

Jat421,

Can you post an example of the ini file you are using, as I can see nothing wrong with the code as posted.

try this...

For $i = 1 To $aArray[0][0] -1

If I remember correctly

8)

Here is the ini file. 

[test]
key1=value1
key2=value2
key3=value3

Also the -1 actually did the trick but I am trying to hold more keys into the array and would like to call them later in the script. How can the expand the array to hold more data I tried $aArray[2][2] but that throws an error?

 Thanks guys for all the help!

$Item2 = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem($aArray[$i][3],$Menu)

Jat421m,

Using the "- 1" will leave you one key/value short - try it and see:

$aArray = IniReadSection("test.ini", "test")

If Not @error Then
    For $i = 1 To $aArray[0][0] - 1
        ConsoleWrite("Key: " & $aArray[$i][0] & @CRLF & "Value: " & $aArray[$i][1] & @CRLF)
    Next
    ConsoleWrite(@CRLF)
    For $i = 1 To $aArray[0][0]
        ConsoleWrite("Key: " & $aArray[$i][0] & @CRLF & "Value: " & $aArray[$i][1] & @CRLF)
    Next
EndIf

You only need the "- 1" if you use UBound to get the count - here the function returns the count in the [0][0] element.

To expand the array, use ReDim to resize it like this:

#include <Array.au3> ; only to see the result

$aArray = IniReadSection("test.ini", "test")
; Add a column
ReDim $aArray[$aArray[0][0] + 1][3] ; [same number of rows][add a column]
; And see the result
_ArrayDisplay($aArray, "", Default, 8)

All clear?

sincere apologies for the mis-information.. I didn't really have my brain in gear and just did a quick google search, which lead me to the autoitwiki with example scripts as shown.. guess I should have looked harder

No problem - can happen to us all.
