GEOSoft Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 (edited) Probably fairly simple but I was up all last night doing Do....Until and While..Wend statements so the brain is foggy to say the least. These are the only parts of the existing script I am concerned with. $ini = @WindowsDir & '\My.ini' ;Read INI File $Na1 = IniRead ( $ini, 'Source', 1, "" ) $Na2 = IniRead ( $ini, 'Source', 2, "" ) $Na3 = IniRead ( $ini, 'Source', 3, "" ) $Na4 = IniRead ( $ini, 'Source', 4, "" ) $Na5 = IniRead ( $ini, 'Source', 5, "" ) $Na6 = IniRead ( $ini, 'Source', 6, "" ) $Na7 = IniRead ( $ini, 'Source', 7, "" ) DIM $a[8] $a[0] = $Na1 $a[1] = $Na2 $a[2] = $Na3 $a[3] = $Na4 $a[4] = $Na5 $a[5] = $Na6 $a[6] = $Na7 $a[7] = <This one is handled differently so we ignore it> As you can see I am reading an Ini file one line at a time. In order to add items to the INI I also have to modify and re-compile the script. This should be avoidable by having it read the ini file into an array and using the count of the array to replace the current IniRead lines and to set the numbers in the $a array. That way all I would have to do is add an item to the INI file and the code would take care of the rest. Any good suggestions??

trids Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 (edited) I would put the entire array (delimited by say "\") in a single parameter of the INI file. Then use StringSplit() to dynamically allocate the internal array Edited February 5, 2004 by trids Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developers Jos Posted February 5, 2004 Developers Share Posted February 5, 2004 how about something like this: Dim $IniRecs[100] $Rec = 0 $ini = @WindowsDir & '\My.ini' ; read ini entries till return value is "" While 1 $trec = IniRead ( $ini, 'Source', $Rec+1, "" ) if $trec = "" then ExitLoop $Rec = $Rec + 1 $IniRecs[$rec] = $trec Wend msgbox(0,"INI records returned"," INI records returned:" & $Rec ) ; do your thing For $x = 1 to $Rec ; whatever $IniRecs[$x] Next SciTE4AutoIt3 Full installer Download page - Beta files Read before posting How to post scriptsource Forum etiquette Forum Rules Live for the present, Dream of the future, Learn from the past.

scriptkitty Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 yea, quick conversion of the original. $ini = @WindowsDir & '\My.ini' DIM $a[8] for $i= 1 to 7 $a[$i]= IniRead ( $ini, 'Source', $i, "" ) next But I normally read this directly into an array to save from dimming, and to auto set $a[0] to the amount of parts of the array. $ini = @WindowsDir & '\My.ini' $a=StringSplit(IniRead ( $ini, 'Source', jump, "" ),"|") [Source] jump=a|b|c|d|e|Froggy goes to town|g|9234234 AutoIt3, the MACGYVER Pocket Knife for computers.

scriptkitty Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 Quick example of InI type: If FileExists ("configme.ini") Then Else $x="a|b|c|d" IniWrite ("configme.ini","Delay","delay",$x) EndIf $y = IniRead("configme.ini","Delay","delay",1000) $array=StringSplit($y,"|") For $i=1 To $array[0] MsgBox(1,"",$array[$i]) Next $new = InputBox("Question", "Add something?", "Planet Earth", "", -1, -1, 0, 0) If StringLen($new)>0 Then $x="" For $i = 1 To $array[0] $x=$x&$array[$i] & "|" Next $x=$x&$new IniWrite ("configme.ini","Delay","delay",$x) EndIf AutoIt3, the MACGYVER Pocket Knife for computers.
