IniWrite and IniRead not working for 2nd gui.

[TheEpicFaceGamer]

So, I am trying to IniWrite and Make a file, Then IniRead and paste it in a second GUI,
At "IniWrite, 10, C:\Users\Ethan\Desktop\GoogleMeetSchoolHackSaveFileChats.ini, Main, Value" It's supposed to create a file, but it doesn't. I think the issue is that it is in a second GUI and I didn't state it the correct way, but I'm not sure how to correct it.
The "IniRead, Chat1Read, GoogleMeetSchoolHackSaveFileChats.ini, section1, key
Gui Control, 2: Chat1, %Chat1Read%" for each edit box it's supposed to take out from the file and paste whatever is in the sections in the .ini and paste them in the edit boxes at the 2nd file.

Code: Select all

ButtonSaveChats:
{
Gui, Submit, NoHide
Gui, 2: Submit, NoHide
IniWrite, 10, C:\Users\Ethan\Desktop\GoogleMeetSchoolHackSaveFileChats.ini, Main, Value
IniWrite, %Chat1%, GoogleMeetSchoolHackSaveFileChats.ini, section1, key
IniWrite, %Chat2%, GoogleMeetSchoolHackSaveFileChats.ini, section2, key
IniWrite, %Chat3%, GoogleMeetSchoolHackSaveFileChats.ini, section3, key
IniWrite, %Chat4%, GoogleMeetSchoolHackSaveFileChats.ini, section4, key
IniWrite, %Chat5%, GoogleMeetSchoolHackSaveFileChats.ini, section5, key
IniWrite, %Chat6%, GoogleMeetSchoolHackSaveFileChats.ini, section6, key
IniWrite, %Chat7%, GoogleMeetSchoolHackSaveFileChats.ini, section7, key
IniWrite, %Chat8%, GoogleMeetSchoolHackSaveFileChats.ini, section8, key
}
return

Here is the button script where it makes a .ini file and then pastes whatever is in the edit boxes. (Chat1-8 are edit boxes on the second gui.) (The second GUI is shown if you press the Set Links on the first GUI, but I didn't put that in this post.)

here is some code that gives you an idea of how you could troubleshoot your issue and how information from different GUIs work.
I think your issue might be in the variable your second GUI outputs to, but I can't tell because you didn't supply that code.

Code: Select all

  gosub gui1
  gosub gui2

  msgbox should be empty `n %1_edit% : %2_edit%

  gui, submit, nohide
  gui, 2:submit, nohide

  msgbox should be filled`n %1_edit% : %2_edit%
return

gui1:
  gui, add, edit, v1_edit, this is a triumph
  gui, show
return

gui2:
  gui, 2:add, edit, v2_edit, I'm making a note here: huge success
  gui, 2:show
return
