ini file problem - mIRC Discussion Forums

I trying to return how many sections i have in a ini file..

example

Code:

[test1]
bla=1
info=1

[test2]
bla=2
info=2

[test3]
bla=3
info=3

This should return 3, how can i do that with $readini ? been trying a while but with no luck.

I don't think there is a way to do that with $readini but try $ini instead.

If the file and sections will be in the format that you posted, I have just worked out a more efficient way to do it.

Not using $readini though.

Code:

alias count_sections {
  filter -cffgx $1 sections.tmp =|]
  .remove sections.tmp
  $iif($isid,return,echo -a) $calc($filtered + 1)
}

/usage /count_sections filename.ini

As said/suggested, $ini(file,0) return the number of section in the file..

Yeah, there's no need for anything fancy. $ini(file.txt,0) gives you the number of sections.

tested it, and it worked as i wanted it to

thnx..

never mind.
