I am trying to delete a specific item from an ini file and I am failing. Through trial and error, I was able to delete the last line or the first line from the ini, but not a specific item. The adding an item works fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here is what I have so far.

Code:
on *:text:!weapon *:#: {
  if (%Gamescript.On. [ $+ [ $chan ] ] != $null) {
    if ($nick isop $chan) {
      var %k = $+($chan)
      var %n $ini(weapons.ini,#,0)
      if ($2 == add) {
        inc %n 
        writeini weapons.ini %k %n $3-
        msg $chan The weapon " $+ $3- $+ " has been added.
      }
      if ($2 == delete) {
        if { I don't know what goes here?
          msg $chan The weapon " $+ $3- $+ " was removed.
        }
        else {
          msg $chan The weapon " $+ $3- $+ " was not found.
        }
      } 
    }
  }
}

I did that and that was how I was able to remove either the last item or the first item. Didn't help my situation sadly.

Entries in an ini are stored as key value pairs. You reference the values by their keys.

If you are trying to store a list of items with no meaningful key and the index does not matter, I suggest you store the items as the key instead of the value.

Code:
var %file = weapons.ini, %section = $chan

writeini %file %section axe 1
writeini %file %section sword 1
writeini %file %section bow 1

remini weapons.ini %section sword
echo -ag $ini(%file,%section,2)


If you care about the order, you will need to manage changing all the indices yourself when you delete items.

If you ever use $read or $readini, make sure to use the "n" switch so that the text is not evaluated: $readini(%file,n,$chan,axe). Failing to do so leaves your system vulnerable to malicious users.

Thank You! I never looked at it the right way I guess. This information helps tremendously.
