I want to have:
[section1] variable1=test1 [section2] variable2=%variable1%Then I read in variable1 and variable2 and have the value of variable2 = test1.
[section1] variable1=test1 [section2] variable2=variable1 xxx=IniReadPvt("section2","variable2",0,inifile) yyy=IniReadPvt("section1",xxx,0,inifile) Message("Value of yyy is",yyy)Or, if you have:
[section1] variable1=something [section2] variable2=%variable1%\otherthing\and after reading in variable1 and variable2, you want variable2=something\otherthing\
You would do something like:
var1=IniReadPvt("section1","variable1",0,inifile) var2=IniReadPvt("section2","variable2",0,inifile) var2=StrReplace(var2,"%%variable1%%",var1)But there's no easy way to generalize it... Another possibility might be:
[section1] variable1=c:\something [section2] variable2=otherthing dir1 = IniReadPvt("section1","variable1","", inifile) dir2 = IniReadPvt("section2","variable2","", inifile) resultDir = ItemInsert (dir2, -1, dir1, "\")Assuming that variable1 is a legit UNC or path, and variable2 doesn't have a beginning or trailing \, the result of the example will be:
c:\something\otherthing\This will also work:
[section1] variable1=c:\level1\level2 [section2] variable2=level3\level4with the result being:
c:\level1\level2\level3\level4\
