CAn a script read and calc 2 .ini files?

I have this greet script. ANd it works perfectly, however recently the greet.ini got 2 full of ip's etc. So I made a greet 2.ini and no problems except one. Its supposed to tell you how many people have joined the chan, and how many times you have joiend the chan. Well mine won't go above 35, and I dunno why. I think its because of the 2 ini files but I have no idea. Here is the script:

Quote:

on !*:join:%greetchan: {
if (%greetCounter == on) {
inc %greet.counter
set %greet.join $calc( $readini( greet.ini, greet 2.ini, $address, Join ) +1 ) | writeini greet 2.ini $address Join %greet.join | unset %greet.join
if ($right(%greet.counter,2) == 00) || ($right(%greet.counter,2) == 50) {
notice $nick 0,2CONGRATS4,2 $nick 0,2you are the4,2 $ord(%greet.counter) 0,2 Visitor To4,2 %greetchan $+ ..0,2This is The4,2 $ord($readini(greet.ini, greet 2.ini, $address, Join)) 0,2Time You Have Visited here...11,2 «×X§Ç®îÞt0®§X×»

}

}
}
}

any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I can't see any reason for it to stop at 35, sorry.

Out of curiosity, did you try using the -n switch with the writeini command before going to multiple ini files?

I have a fairly major issue with this line:

Code:

set %greet.join $calc( $readini( greet.ini, greet 2.ini, $address, Join ) +1 )

It's invalid syntax..

$readini() can only read from one ini file at a time.

Ok well that answeres my question, but how do I fix it?

And What would setting -n do?

That's where the -n switch for writeini comes into play (Quoting the help file):

Quote:

If the -n switch is specified, mIRC will attempt to write to the .ini file even if it is larger than 64k.

Thus, change your writeini line to:
"writeini -n greet.ini $address Join %greet.join"
...and you shouldn't need a second .ini file.

For convenience, the calculation would be:
set %greet.join $calc($readini(greet.ini,$address,Join) + $readini(greet 2.ini,$address,Join) +1)

Another note: the line

Code:

if ($right(%greet.counter,2) == 00) || ($right(%greet.counter,2) == 50) {

can be shortened to:

Code:

if (50 // %greet.counter) {

("if %greet.counter is a multiple of 50")

Thanks
