Mapped INI Files
Keywords: Mapped INI Files
Question:
(Using Winbatch 99D)I have a script which is using INIItemizePvt to read an INI file and present the contents as a menu to the user. The syntax I'm using to read the sections of the file is as follows:
INIFILE=strcat(DirWindows(0),"PRINTERS.INI")
floors=iniitemizepvt("",INIFILE)
The second line above produces the error "Null section name not valid for mapped INI files".
What's a mapped INI file? This script worked fine in Winbatch 97x.
Answer:
- Try...
INIFILE=strcat(DirWindows(0),"PRINTERS.INI") if !FileExist(INIFILE) Message("Eeeop","might be a mapped file") endif floors=iniitemizepvt("",INIFILE) - A mapped ini file is one that is not in a real ini file, but rather exists in the registry. When Inicommands are issued, instead of going to the file on disk, the ini settings in the registry are consulted instead.
