ini

I have one project with function to read .ini files. I can not display the contents of .ini file that I want to. My code to read .ini file Public Function GetSettingItem(ByVal File As String, ByVal Identifier As String) As String Dim S As New IO.StreamReader(File) : Dim Result As String = "" Do While (S.Peek <> -1) Dim Line As String = S.ReadLine If Line.ToLower.StartsWith(Identifier.ToLower & "=") Then Result = Line.Substring(Identifier.Length + 2) End If Loop Return Result End Function My code to load code Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)

My question is about parsing an ini file with the Windows command line. I got stuck while trying remove a section with all keys from the file. The name of this section is known and saved in a variable. I tried to save the lines (start, end) for removing the stuff between but it didn't work for me. Can anyone here help me? edit: Here is an example ini file: [Example] cycle = value cycle2 = value cycle_bu = value [Example2] key1 = value key2 = value key3 = value key4 = value [something3] key1 = value key2 = value key3 = value key4 = value key5 = value key6 = value http://www.robvanderwoude.com

There are already questions regarding unicode and ini files, but many of them are rather domain-specific. So I am not sure if the answer can be applied to the general case. Motivation : I want to use ini files for storing simple data like some numbers and some strings. The strings are provided by users (input via GUI). The software could run anywhere in the world, any language can be used. The files also can be shared between users (so they can be written to on one system, read on another and so on). I figured that unicode in ini files should be no problem when using GetPrivateProfileStringW

using System.IO; class Ini { // 声明INI文件的写操作函数 WritePrivateProfileString() [System.Runtime.InteropServices.DllImport("kernel32")] private static extern long WritePrivateProfileString(string section, string key, string val, string filePath); // 声明INI文件的读操作函数 GetPrivateProfileString() [System.Runtime.InteropServices.DllImport("kernel32")] private static extern int GetPrivateProfileString(string section, string key, string def, System.Text.StringBuilder retVal, int size, string filePath); private string sPath = null; public Ini(string fileName) { this.sPath = fileName; } public void Write(string

1 public partial class ReadIniFile 2 { 3 public static ReadIniFile ri; 4 private ReadIniFile() { } 5 6 public static ReadIniFile GetInstance() 7 { 8 ri = new ReadIniFile(); 9 //if (ri == null) 10 //{ 11 // ri = new ReadIniFile(); 12 //} 13 return ri; 14 } 15 16 17 static string iniPath = System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory + @"SetConfig.ini"; 18 19 public static string IniReadValue(string Section, string Key) 20 { 21 StringBuilder temp = new StringBuilder(500); 22 //string iniPath = System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory + @"SetRate.ini"; 23 int i = GetPrivateProfileString

I find it very easy to write to a INI file, but am having some trouble in retrieving the data from an already created INI file. I am using this function: Public Declare Unicode Function GetPrivateProfileString Lib "kernel32" _ Alias "GetPrivateProfileStringW" (ByVal lpApplicationName As String, _ ByVal lpKeyName As String, ByVal lpDefault As String, _ ByVal lpReturnedString As String, ByVal nSize As Int32, _ ByVal lpFileName As String) As Int32 If I have an INI file called 'c:\temp\test.ini', with the following data: [testApp] KeyName=keyValue KeyName2=keyValue2 How can I retrieve the values

I have an .ini file with configuration. I need to check if it exists in new installation to avoid creating it again. Besides if the new .ini have new fields add to the existing file. Stein Åsmul Don't install an ini file as a file, but convert the entries into IniFile Table entries . This allows all ini file changes to be treated as "atomic change units" that allows proper merging and rollback via built-in MSI mechanism. You avoid all custom action complexity. As Chris points out in his major upgrade comment: do things the right way in Wix / MSI and you avoid a lot of problems that start to

Trynig to add a new, persistent, Firefox profile with Selenium. AFAIK, when executing FirefoxProfile() , a new profile is generated using a temporary file. Ideally, this profile should be able to remain available to subsequent processes - even after the creator is closed. Problem : Create a new Firefox profile from within Python code. This should return a FirefoxProfile object that is usable with the Firefox webdriver Selenium uses. The profile created should persist after the process ends - i.e. it should be a full-fledged profile, not just a temporary profile. Some pointers : The profiles
