what u said occurred to me briefly too... but this editor will be used by us guys to create an initial default file which will have only default values... so no point in having a separate field... the 'default' checkbox is a good idea. u already seem to have thought it all quite well.

Thanks Rajat,
I have used your code and integrated it into my code. I updated my post on the first page.

@All:
I also put the first beta of the IniFileCreator there. Please test and give feedback Thanks

i just edited (and enhanced) my first real-use .ini file for the function using your editor and it has worked beautifully!
it really is a lot easier to work in this editor instead of editing a file for this function in notepad.
very nice work there toralf... congrats and thanks!

also, i've been thinking that its no use to maintain 2 similar functions, the original and the mod, when the mod does everything that the original can... we can have a single function posted as joint work. please give me your thoughts on this.

i've a suggestion for the editor. how about adding a 'Test' buton that will launch the currently edited file with our function and we can see how it finally looks, instead of saving it in the editor and launching with function manually.

Hi - I've finally managed to get everything working with the area implement.

You simple add a hyphen between the area and section (as was suggested before [area - section])

To do multiple sections in the same area you would do
[area - section1]
[area - section2]

obviously don't have to do numbers, but just for illustration.

I would really appreciate if you guys would think about taking up this variation, it just adds functionality to the program and will work if other people don't want to use the area function

Here's a link to the script HERE

and a sample ini that fully works is HERE

The last script I took to modify was right after the default button was added.

Sincerely,
Kerry

i tried running your script but got this error:

---------------------------
test2.ahk
---------------------------
Error at line 83.

Line Text:
Þs%
Error: This parameter contains a variable name missing its ending percent sign.

The program will exit.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------


probably your OS doesn't have english as default?

actually I only speak english

there was some weird copy error when I tried to upload to autohotkey.net that added that in, so I added it to my own site

here's the script again, except without those things, sorry about that the first time

Although I've downloaded some of the versions of the code as they were released, I am just now getting a chance to check it out and give it look-see. Excellent idea and excellent coding! I've learned a lot just looking through the code and I will definitely will be taking some of these ideas with me. When I need a Q&D configuration editor, I will definitely be using these functions. Thank you for sharing.

I noticed a problem in version 1.2 of the editor. The description field is displaying something like 430336430408Des instead displaying of the correct description of the variables. As far as I can tell, the program is correctly interpreting all other values. The description field is displayed correctly in version 1.0 or 1.1 (not sure which).

Thought I would let you know. Thank you for your assistance.

In line 293 you have to replace
by

Thanks jballi and robiandi,
it will be fixed in the next release.

I agree. Updating two versions is redundant. Please go ahead and post it as joint work. Thanks for the great idea of a general ini editor.

It had the benefit for me that I had to dive into treeview which I still hadn't done before but always had on my list. :)

Updated the code in my post of the first page.

The function now has the bugfix (thanks jaballi and robiandi)
And the ini creator now uses the function to test the currently edited ini file.
