Hello,

I want to :
- my script checks if an ini file exist
- if not, then create one
- if exist, then check if value exist, don't edit it. If value doesn't exist, then create it

Code: Select all

IniRead, active1 , FollowSettings.ini, Personnages, active1
IniWrite, % active1 , FollowSettings.ini, Personnages, active1
IniWrite, % active2 , FollowSettings.ini, Personnages, active2

With the code below, active1 is setting "ERROR" (because value don't exist the first time)
If i don't set "iniRead", it will erase any value evrytime...

I want, for example, checking value, if it find "active1 = %anyvalue%", don't edit it. If Active1 doesn't exist, create it but with empy value

Thank you for help, sorry for bad english

After you read the value, check to see if it is ERROR. If so, then you can write the new value. An alternative is below.

Code: Select all

ini    := StrReplace(A_ScriptFullPath, ".ahk", ".ini")
active1 = a
active2 = b
section = Personnages
Loop, 2 {
 IniRead ,   active%A_Index%, %ini%, %section%, active%A_Index%, % active%A_Index%
 IniWrite, % active%A_Index%, %ini%, %section%, active%A_Index%
}
MsgBox, 64, Results, active1 = %active1%`nactive2 = %active2%

Adjust as needed. This does not store an empty value, but you could do that if needed. There is typically not much value in doing that.

Thank you !
I just added %A_Space% after every "IniRead"

Like this

Code: Select all

IniRead, active1 , FollowSettings.ini, Personnages, active1, %A_Space%

Now it works like i wanted !

Thank you very much
