help with a function to read all ini variables

[ibieel]

hey guys, could you help me to read all the variables from an .ini file
the variables are not always the same, it can change, but the section is always the same.
Is there any script/function that I can read all the variables of a section in ini file?

INI EXAMPLE:

Code: Select all

[Section1]
Var11=test
Var13=testq
Var00=testw
Var098=testr

[Section2]
Var99=testt
Var19=testy
Var10=testuy
Var65=tesjj
Var1=testb

Try:

Code: Select all

iniread, oVar, test43210.ini, section1
for x,y in strsplit(oVar,"`n")
	{
	tmp1 := strsplit(y,"=").1
	tmp2 := strsplit(y,"=").2
	%tmp1% := tmp2
	}

msgbox % var13

or take a look here:

To extract all variables from all sections, try:

Code: Select all

fileread, oVar, test43210.ini
for x,y in strsplit(oVar,"`n","`r")
		{
		tmp1 := strsplit(y,"=","`n`r").1
		tmp2 := strsplit(y,"=","`n`r").2
		(tmp1) && !instr(y,"[") && %tmp1% := tmp2
		}

msgbox % var13

Thanks flyingDman, But when i try it get this error,

error.png (36.71 KiB) Viewed 824 times

Is the problem in the code?,
Or the problem in the way I run it, or in the my INI file?

[flyingDman]

I guess it is how the .ini file is formatted. Could you post it?

[HiSoKa]

[File 1]
Main Section = Programming
Secound Section = Ask For Help

[File 2]
Main Section = Programming
Secound Section = Functions

[File 3]
Main Section = Programming
Secound Section = Classes

[File 4]
Main Section = Programming
Secound Section = Misc

[File 5]
Main Section = Design
Secound Section = Photoshop

[File 6]
Main Section = Design
Secound Section = After Effect

and this is the code :

Code: Select all

MyData_INI             := "D:\New folder (5)\MY Data.ini"

fileread, oVar, %MyData_INI%
for x,y in strsplit(oVar,"`n","`r")
		{
		tmp1 := strsplit(y,"=","`n`r").1
		tmp2 := strsplit(y,"=","`n`r").2
		(tmp1) && !instr(y,"[") && %tmp1% := tmp2
		}

msgbox % var13

[flyingDman]

A variable cannot have spaces....

W̶h̶i̶c̶h̶ ̶v̶a̶r̶i̶a̶b̶l̶e̶ ̶d̶o̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶ ̶m̶e̶a̶n̶?̶
Edit:
Sorry, flyingDman, now I understand the code you posted , which is to parse the INI file and make the keys and values as variables,
And then call them when needed..
I delete the spaces and now everything is working fine..
Thank you for the great code...

Try:

iniread, oVar, test43210.ini, section1
for x,y in strsplit(oVar,"`n")
	{
	tmp1 := strsplit(y,"=").1
	tmp2 := strsplit(y,"=").2
	%tmp1% := tmp2
	}

msgbox % var13

it seems that iniRead has a limit of 65720 characters, is there a way to increase this limit?

Hi, ibieel.

Variables that are read in an .ini file are usually because they have been written to by the script itself. Refers to states of variables that you want to retrieve in another session or execution of the script. For example, in a music player, what song was playing when you closed the program to play it again. I think that this is not what you want or need, otherwise there would not be so many variables.

it doesn't have many variables, about 200... but there are many characters in each variable.
what would you advise me to do to record/retrieve these variables with many characters?
maybe a database? how can i link a database with autohotkey?

hi ibieel

There are people more expert than me to answer you. I think you should open another thread where you have to answer yourself if you want to have all that data present in the script, or if you can read it from the file when a piece of data is needed (one or more at a time).

A database does the last thing I say: read specific data, in specific situations, from a database file. That same data can be a txt or csv file.

Another question is to create an array or pseudo-array, which will remain in memory.
