weird

[imacrazyballoono]

For some reason that I dont know, the filewrite part of this script will not work in a non admin account. Why?

$time = IniRead("C:\Program Files\Timer\config.txt", "default", "time", "0")
if $time = 0 then
    MsgBox(4096, "Result", "time not found")
endif
$file = fileopen("C:\Program Files\Timer\timer.txt", 2)
filewrite($file, $time)
fileclose($file)

That's weird.

And just to make it a little shorter:

$time = IniRead("C:\Program Files\Timer\config.txt", "default", "time", "0")
If $time = 0 Then MsgBox(4096, "Result", "time not found")
$file = FileOpen("C:\Program Files\Timer\timer.txt", 2)
FileWrite($file, $time)
FileClose($file)

What kind of non-admin account is it?

#)

[imacrazyballoono]

just a limited user. I think that is the problem. When i run the script on my admin account, it works fine, but when i run the same one on the limited one, it gives an error.

On your admin acct you can change the user permissions so that they can write to that folder. This would probably be easiest if you intend to keep running scripts on a limited acct. Or you could run the script as an admin from the limited acct using RunAs.

I need this script to be run when the user logs in. I dont think its a permissions error. Ill go get the error right now.

EDIT:

Line 14 filewrite($file, $time)

error: invalid file handle used.

Check to make sure FileOpen() does not return -1.

$time = IniRead("C:\Program Files\Timer\config.txt", "default", "time", "0")
If $time = 0 Then MsgBox(4096, "Result", "time not found")
$file = FileOpen("C:\Program Files\Timer\timer.txt", 2)

If $file <> "-1" Then
       FileWrite($file, $time)
       FileClose($file)
Else
       MsgBox( 0, "", "Error opening the file" )
EndIf

That should tell you if there was an error openign the file itself.

EDIT: Fixed issue with code...

[imacrazyballoono]

do you need an endif after the first, or only, if statement?

EDIT: it gave the error, does that mean it is a permission thing?

Now its just being stupid. I logged off the account and changed permissions on the file then logged back into it and it doesnt give the "error opening the file" error. I ran this script and it worked fine with not errors. Why is it not working??? The second script is the one that isn't workng

$time = IniRead("C:\Program Files\Timer\config.txt", "default", "time", "0")
if $time = 0 then
    MsgBox(4096, "Result", "time not found")
endif
$file = fileopen("C:\Program Files\Timer\timer.txt", 2)
filewrite($file, $time)
fileclose($file)

$time = IniRead("C:\Program Files\Timer\config.txt", "default", "time", "0")
If $time = 0 Then MsgBox(4096, "Result", "time not found")
$file = FileOpen("C:\Program Files\Timer\timer.txt", 2)

If $file <> "-1" Then
       FileWrite($file, $time)
       FileClose($file)
Else
       MsgBox( 0, "", "Error opening the file" )
EndIf

FileWrite($file, $time)
FileClose($file)

See my modified post above, I included the FileWrite() twice. When you run the script do you get the MsgBox or does it try to write to the file?

[imacrazyballoono]

I have no idea what I or you did, but it works now. My original script works. Thanks for your help.

[NELyon]

how are you INIreading a txt file?

[imacrazyballoono]

I'm not sure, but it works. Does the format matter of the file as long as the text inside the file is the same?

[NELyon]

no idea. but in the help file it said "The name of the .INI file you are reading" under INIread

[imacrazyballoono]

I should probably change it to an ini file just to make sure there are no repercussions.
