${Ini problem

ml2517 · Post by **ml2517** » Fri Apr 23, 2004 7:46 am

There are two characters being tacked onto the end of that default value. I echo'd the result of one and it looks like this:

Code: Select all

NOTFOUND 

or 

NOTFOUND||

This is what my line of code looks like:

Code: Select all

/varset Radius ${Ini[@IniFile,Settings,Radius,NOTFOUND]}

I haven't tested to see if its tacking it onto actual entries that it finds in the INI file yet.

Verified:

It is also tacking those characters onto the end of values it finds in the INI file.

This is causing autodebuff to go nuts when loading the alerts up then?

I cant seem to get ${Ini to return anything

Code: Select all

/declare INIFile global
/varset INIFile "D:\Backup\Downloads\macroquest2\Release\Macros\recipes.ini"
/echo ${Ini[@INIFile,wm,Cont,NOTFOUND]}

INI File

Code: Select all

[wm]
Cont="#sewing"
Comp0="mandrake root"
Comp1="mandrake root"

The echo only returns NOTFOUND. I have tried ${Ini[INIFile,wm,Cont,NOTFOUND]} AND ${Ini["INIFile","wm","Cont",NOTFOUND]} with the file name set with a #define <path to ini>

Am I missing something obvious to get it to return a value?

I'm honestly not sure if you can reference INI files with a full path like that. Someone was talking about it in IRC one day but I don't recall if they'd gotten it working or not.

dont use the full path. It defaults to in your macros directory anyway.
The two characters added are fixed in next zip, I'll get it out asap

My macros rely on absolute path for ini since they communicate at runtime through a lan shared r/w ini. Will it be changed to allow absolute paths again?

I see from mqdata.cpp that it was done deliberately

Code: Select all

//	if (!strchr(pIniFile,'\\') && !strchr(pIniFile,'/'))// always insert macro path, screw whoever's using the absolute path.
		sprintf(FileName,"%s\\%s",gszMacroPath,pIniFile);

but I don't see the reasoning behind it. I've made the obvious fix locally for the time being. Can we fix it in the main dist? Or do I need to work around it somehow.

The problem is there was no absolute or relative path detection. We can allow it with proper detection no problem.

I put in proper detection for relative/absolute paths for next zip.

Thanks Lax :)

It's still missing the else clause, making all absolute INI paths fail:

Code: Select all

        if (pIniFile[0]!='\\' && !strchr(pIniFile,':'))
            sprintf(FileName,"%s\\%s",gszMacroPath,pIniFile);
--->    else
--->        strcpy(FileName,pIniFile);
