simple iniwrite Topic is solved

[LC_1]

Hello everybody,
only a small queston: whats wrong in my code??

Code: Select all

IniRead, string_to, C:\XX\auto_replace.ini, Section1, replace_to
string_to := StrReplace(string_to, "A", "B") 
IniWrite % string_to, C:\XX\auto_replace.ini, Section1, replace_to

no string is writing in ini file.

Thanks

Put this line after the IniRead and before the IniWrite to see what the variable actually contains:

Code: Select all

MsgBox, % string_to

Do you perhaps have a typo in the path to the ini file? Put this at the top of your script (replacing XX as necessary, of course):

Code: Select all

MsgBox, % "Ini file " . (FileExist("C:\XX\auto_replace.ini") ? "found" : "not found")

Can you post the contents of your ini file?

Ini file is correctly read, and replace_to string content is regurarly show in the msgbox. Something wrong in write function.
This is ini file content:

Code: Select all

[Section1]
replace_from=text_from
replace_to=text_to

Code: Select all

/*
[Section1]
replace_to=1AAAAAA2
*/

IniRead, string_to, % A_ScriptName, Section1, replace_to
MsgBox % string_to := StrReplace(string_to, "A", "B") 
IniWrite % string_to, % A_ScriptName, Section1, replace_to
; check your scripts "ini section" for changes, probably you've to "refresh" the open file with pushing F5!

@LC_1 - What are you expecting to be written to it? You haven’t changed anything in in the string text_to when you’re replacing A with B. The ini file you showed would correctly look the same before and after running your script.

Perhaps you meant to read from replace_from instead of replace_to:

Code: Select all

IniRead, string_to, C:\XX\auto_replace.ini, Section1, replace_from
string_to := StrReplace(string_to, "A", "B") 
IniWrite % string_to, C:\XX\auto_replace.ini, Section1, replace_to

I'm sorry, I was using uncorrect variable name during writing process. Thank you all.
