; How to Split 78 sets of combined coordinates into separated x y and save to ini file Topic is solved

[OCP]

Hello i was hoping someone one more knowledgeable than me could help me solve getting saving to a correctly formatted ini file to work

i want to use this so i can make different states for my settings gui (i made some gLabels for setup 2 but i use much more in the real gui), the problem i have is that initially when my coordinates get saved it is still in a split state (separated x and y) but when i load a new set in my variables they are combined so i need to split them and then also save them in the original format as a ini file

the below is just the parts of code related to my problem this code will not run as intended i hope you get the idea it has all the parts used and on the bottom above the ini file content an example of the part i have in other gui

any pointers or help would be appreciated spend a couple days trying things and i think it is above me thank you

Code: Select all

; Settings GUI
	#SingleInstance, Force   
	
	Gui,+AlwaysOnTop 
	Gui, Margin, 0, 0
	; in my settings gui i have this from button 1 to button 78 
	Gui, Add, Button, x10   y10   w100 h22 vButton1 gGetCoord, BlaBla Coordinate this
	Gui, Add, Edit,     x112 y10   w100 h22 vCoord1 readonly
	; + 76 more vButton3 + vCoord3, vButton4 + vCoord4 and so on
	Gui, Add, Button, x10   y34   w100 h22 vButton78 gGetCoord, BlaBla Coordinate that
	Gui, Add, Edit,     x112 y34   w100 h22 vCoord78 readonly

; now i also want the option to switch settings and for that i need to write all current coordinates from all 78 buttons
; to a new ini file with the same structure in gSaveSetup2 but i do not know how to write Coord1 up to Coord78
; in one go while also splitting it in x and y because at this point they are merged into (x, y) in my edit box
; so i would need to split them in x and y again but how?
SaveSetup2:
return

... initially when my coordinates get saved it is still in a split state (separated x and y) but when i load a new set in my variables they are combined...

I don't understand! give some example.

[just me]

@Albireo:
In the settings GUI, X and Y values are combined as X, Y in edit fields. In the INI file, they are stored as Coordn in two sections [X_Coord] and [Y_Coord.

Thanks! Now I see the problem... (but I don't have a solution)

I hope this helps. The following is a simple script to read and subsequently store pairs of numbers (or coordinates) in an ini file.

Code: Select all

IniRead, x, Coordinates_Set1.ini,values,set1,(25,33);(52,12);(92,222);(24,33);(92,22);(92,19);(255,323);(522,12);(492,11);(325,33);(52,212);(192,11)

loop,Parse,x,";",()
	z .= "coord" a_index " = " (x := StrSplit(A_LoopField, ","))[1] " | " x[2] "`n", y .= "(" x[1] "`," x[2] ")" ";"
	
msgbox % z	
Iniwrite, % substr(y,1,strlen(y)-1), Coordinates_Set1.ini, values, set1

Note: this will write a file to your drive.

Once the ini is written, you can replace the 1st line with IniRead, x, Coordinates_Set1.ini,values,set1

thank you flyingDman for your time i see some stuff here i never used before so i got something to play with at the very least

first impression (untested) is that first line could be a problem because it is not fixed as to what is in set1 but i can make a workaround perhaps
i have to play around with this after the sun goes down (33c in my house to hot to think)

thnx again

[OCP]

I hope this helps.

it certainly did thank you very much
i managed to get what i want by modifying what you did
this allows me to keep the main ini file the one all my gui's load from
while being able to load a different set and then save that as the main setup
this is just the save part

Code: Select all

	IniRead X, Settings/Coordinates.ini, X_Coord, 
	loop,Parse,x,";",()
	IniRead Y, Settings/Coordinates.ini, Y_Coord, 
	loop,Parse,y,";",()
	Iniwrite, % substr(x,1,strlen(x)-1), Settings/Coordinates_Set4.ini, X_Coord,
	Iniwrite, % substr(y,1,strlen(y)-1), Settings/Coordinates_Set4.ini, Y_Coord,
