IniWrite how to preserve @LF and @CRLF

[GordonFreeman]

Hi, i'm trying to save data in an ini key that contains @LF and @CRLF (to use in an edit control). But @LF and @CRLF cause error in ini files (because it breaks the line). Then im trying to find a workaround. Here's the script thanks in advance:

 

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=
$Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 615, 438, 192, 124)
$hEDIT = GUICtrlCreateEdit("",11,11,600,400)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
#EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ###

IniWrite("JustATest.ini","TestSec","TestKey","TestValue " & @CRLF & "Testing" & @LF & "test")

$sData = IniRead("JustATest.ini","TestSec","TestKey","")
GUICtrlSetData($hEDIT,$sData)

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit

    EndSwitch
WEnd

You can try this hack, keeping in mind that .INI format was never intended to store bulk text:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=
$Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 615, 438, 192, 124)
$hEDIT = GUICtrlCreateEdit("",11,11,600,400)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
#EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ###

IniWrite("JustATest.ini","TestSec","TestKey",'"TestValue " & @CRLF & "Testing" & @LF & "test"')

$sData = Execute('"' & IniRead("JustATest.ini","TestSec","TestKey","") & '"')
GUICtrlSetData($hEDIT,$sData)

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit

    EndSwitch
WEnd
