Autoit3 and .ini files?

[flyfamilyguy]

Hello everyone.

Been browsing around a little bit through the forum, my brain spinning with ideas that I'm planning out as im typing here, so if anyone thinks that I have not spent enough time searching

for the answer in an archive somewhere, blame it on my excitement at getting back to my desktop before I forget wth I was going to do!

I ve been taking my time with an application that Im writing, scrapping things as new ideas come. Cant explain why really, but ive always liked the idea of incorporating both batch and Autoit in my programs so that's been the case with everything ive done to date. Currently I'm trying to focus on finishing through to a final result,  I guess you could call it a 'wysiwyg' html webpage and css creation utility. Its been run a hundred times or more and scrapped only to rewrite a few lines here and there due to my overactive brain matter. most of the code was done in batch . Interactive commandline, echoing tags and strings into files blah blah blah. The autoit portion comes as the Nice Gui interface with all the options for a webpage or css then once chosen the gui scribbles a couple of lines into a file where the batch code comes in, reads the file then executes predefined directives based on what was specified.

My question I swear!

I would really like to try out Autoit for the entire app from gathering the user specs to creation along with ini and maybe inf files. Is it possible for Autoit to read and execute from an .ini?

Thanks]

Sorry folks. Just scrolled down after posting and WAM, there by Golly were a bunch of 'related' topics on ini's!  but Ill still take any new input/ideas thanks

In short:
Sure, check the Ini* functions in the help file.

You will get more helpful advise when you have a question based on real code

​Hi First I'm real sorry that it has taken so long to respond. Unexpected and unwanted circumstances popped up so was far from pc and me time. I'm not sure I Understand what you mean by "..based on real code" my friend. The code is very real indeed and works quite well. It created the pages found here There is still much work to be done with it but all in all it's coming along. I was at the time searching for ways to kind of veer away from batch and especially  begin using configuration files such as ini. to make the writing a little easier and less of it. Also just about every character/tag in html is recognized by comspec as something completely different resulting early on in a lot of errors and incomplete files being produced. I finally managed to get around this (Windows cmd.exe tolerates a lot of abuse. not real strict with the language to say the least) so...

But anyway, Thank you for the reply and yes I found the help section on ini. At the time for some reason (think it was something a friend said) I was thinking there was no 'ini and Autoit' so I didn't even bother to check and instead came straight here.

Water was trying to point out that, without posting your code, you make it a little difficult on those trying to help. We have to first guess at what you're doing and then try to troubleshoot. Your first post in any topic should always include code - if not the whole code then at least a short reproducer that demonstrates the problem.
