OK, here's what I'd like to be able to accomplish. Currently I have a function (below) that will allow me to update an application based on variables I call from the function. But I would like to be able to store the entries in a text file and have the function read the text file instead. That way the end user can update the file I don't have to create a new function call for each updated application. I have provided a sample of the text file format I would like to use. I hope I've explained it well enough.
Thanks!
Code:
Function AppUpdate($DisplayName,$originalfilename,$originalpath,$updatefilename,$updatepath)
$NetApp = $updatepath + "\" + $updatefilename
$LocalApp = $originalpath + "\" + $originalfilename
If Exist($LocalApp)
; $lblStatus.Text = "Checking for " + $DisplayName + "..."
$NetVer = GetFileVersion($updatefilename,"FileVersion")
; $lblStatus.Text = "Checking " + $DisplayName + "Version..."
$LocalVer = GetFileVersion($originalfilename,"FileVersion")
If $LocalVer <> $NetVer
; $lblStatus.Text = "Updating " + $DisplayName + ", please be patient..."
Copy $NetApp $LocalApp /h /r /c
; LogInfo("\\server1\itdept\mfg\install logs\" + $DisplayName + ".csv","@DATE,@TIME,@WKSTA,@USERID,$CurrentIP,Old Version: $LocalVer,New Version: $NetVer")
; $lblStatus.Text = "MFG Applications Updated..."
Sleep 0.5
EndIf
EndIf
EndFunction
AppUpdate("Test Application Update","TestApp.exe","%programfiles%\testapp","TestApp.exe","\\server1\updatedexes")
Here's the FloorUpdate.ini file
Quote:
Test Application Update,testapp.exe,%programfiles%\testapp,testapp.exe,\\server1\updatedexes
Notepad,notepad.exe,%windir%,notepad.exe,\\server2\testapp\new2

ja, thats the beauty of it, here is the code, assumption is you have a file called install.ini in the current dir formatted as above:
Code:
Break On
$PROFILE = ".\install.ini"
For Each $AppSection In Split(ReadProfileString($PROFILE, "", ""), CHR(10))
If $AppSection
?"App=" $AppSection
Endif
Next
Exit 0

and of course taking it to the next level ...
Code:
Break On
$PROFILE = ".\install.ini"
For Each $AppSection In Split(ReadProfileString($PROFILE, "", ""), CHR(10))
If $AppSection
$DisplayName = ReadProfileString($PROFILE, $AppSection, "DisplayName")
$OriginalFilename = ReadProfileString($PROFILE, $AppSection, "OriginalFileName")
?
?"DisplayName = " $DisplayName
?"OriginalFileName = " $OriginalFileName
Endif
Next
Exit 0

$OriginalFilename = ReadProfileString($iniFile, $AppSection, "OriginalFileName")
$OriginalPath = ReadProfileString($iniFile, $AppSection,"OriginalPath")
$UpdateFilename = ReadProfileString($iniFile, $AppSection, "UpdateFileName")
$UpdatePath = ReadProfileString($iniFile, $AppSection,"UpdatePath")
EndIf
$NetApp = $UpdatePath + "\" + $UpdateFilename
$LocalApp = $OriginalPath + "\" + $OriginalFilename
$lblStatus.Text = "Checking for " + $DisplayName + "..."
Sleep 0.25
If Exist($LocalApp)
$NetVer = GetFileVersion($UpdateFilename,"FileVersion")
